X-Men shake-up: ‘Deadpool 2’ moves closer to ‘Infinity War’ while ‘New Mutants’ and ‘Gambit’ are pushed back

Deadpool 2 is moving closer to Avengers: Infinity War. Fox has moved the film up two weeks from June 1 to May 18 this year, taking it out of the second weekend for Solo: A Star Wars Story and placing it in the third weekend for Marvel Studios’ massive team-up film.

That is just one of three release date changes for the X-Men franchise. Fox has also pushed New Mutants from April 13 of this year all the way back to February 22, 2019. Gambit, which just lost director Gore Verbinski today, jumps from February 14, 2019 to June 7, 2019.
