This breakout role set the stage for a string of successful films, including ‘G.I.

3. The Isle of Man (TBA)
Tatum will be seen in Reid Carolin’s ‘The Isle of Man,’ a movie based on the legendary motorcycle races. Amazon MGM Studios has landed the film and docuseries rights, with Brad Pitt’s Plan B as a producer. Reid Carolin, Bryan Johnson, and Jason Keller serve as writers. The story will showcase the Isle of Man TT Races with never-before-seen access to riders and races through an exclusive partnership between producers and event promoters. The cast also includes Eve Hewson, Ciarán Hinds, May Calamawy, Éanna Hardwicke, and Ruaridh Mollica. Tourist Trophy is the world’s oldest continuously running motorsport event. Filming has wrapped, and release details are awaited.
4. 24 Jump Street (TBA)
‘24 Jump Street’ is finally happening at Columbia Pictures, with Tatum, Jonah Hill, and Ice Cube to return in their respective roles. The third installment in the cult-favorite R-rated crime-comedy franchise will be directed by Rodney Rothman. Rothman, Hill, and Meghan Malloy wrote the script. While the plot is under wraps, the movie will have underachieving cops Schmidt and Jenko go undercover as foreign exchange students for their next mission. Filming begins in January 2027.
5. Later the War (TBA)
Tatum, Tessa Thompson, and Patsy Ferran have onboarded Charlie Kaufman’s fantasy comedy feature ‘Later the War.’ Kaufman adapted the screenplay from Iddo Gefen’s short story ‘Debby’s Dream House.’ The story follows Peekman (Tatum), a wildly popular actor-director, famous for blockbuster physical comedies in which he stars with his wife Kiki (Thompson). The more successful he becomes, the more he begins to suspect that deep down, he has nothing to say. In a bid for the artistic legitimacy that he craves, and as his marriage flounders, he attempts a serious Holocaust film, while Kiki moves on to create her own one-woman show. When Peekman encounters Debora (Ferran), a poet who has no idea who he is, he finds himself desperate to win her approval. This does not go well. The film weaves present-day reality, films nested within films, and mind-bending dreamscapes to create a world in which Peekman and Kiki, having lost themselves to the pursuit of fame, may find their way back to reality. The movie is set to shoot in Cyprus in 2027.
6. Dance Parents (TBA)
Tatum will star alongside Charlize Theron in Jonathan Levine’s comedy movie, ‘Dance Parents.’ The plot, written by Meghan Malloy, is reportedly set in the world of young competitive dancers and their super-passionate parents. The Universal Pictures-backed project is currently navigating pre-production and awaits filming and release details.
7. Calamity Hustle (TBA)
Written and directed by Aaron Nee and Adam Nee, this Warner Bros-backed action comedy-drama will star Tatum and Ryan Reynolds, both of whom also serve as producers. The story is set in the festive season and revolves around an ex-cop turned private investigator (Reynolds) and his criminal brother (Tatum). When the latter gets implicated in a diamond heist, the investigator has to track him down before those he robbed get to him. This may or may not involve a dangerous mob boss. Other than Reynolds and Tatum, no other cast member has been revealed. The project is currently in its pre-production stage, so we will have to wait to find out more.
8. Bloodlines (TBA)
Currently in the pre-production stage, ‘Bloodlines’ is a crime drama based on the book “Bloodlines: The True Story of a Drug Cartel, the FBI, and the Battle for a Horse-Racing Dynasty” by award-winning Texas Observer investigative reporter Melissa Del Bosque. Adapted for the screen by Jonathan Herman, the Universal Pictures movie will follow an FBI agent who investigates the Texas racehorse-propelled money laundering scheme of a Mexican drug cartel. Only Tatum has been revealed as a member of the cast. We are yet to know who the director is. More details, like production and release date, are awaited.
9. Soundtrack of Silence (TBA)
Tatum is set to star and produce the upcoming film ‘Soundtrack of Silence,’ which is based on the KQED story about Matt Hay. The plot, written by Jamie Linden, centers on a college student who confronts the daunting reality of impending deafness. To preserve cherished memories, he embarks on a poignant journey to memorize his favorite songs, with the hope of retaining the soundtrack to important moments in his life. While the Paramount Pictures project is in its pre-production, it promises to be a heartfelt exploration of resilience and the enduring power of music in the face of life-altering challenges.
