The actor also opened up about why he asked to be killed off in 2013's 'G.I. Joe: Retaliation' and how 'Magic Mike's Last Dance' will center women differently than the first two films.

Tatum also addressed the status of theGambit movie that had been in development at what was then 21st Century Fox, before it was acquired by the Walt Disney Company.

“It got swallowed up into Disney by way of Marvel when they bought Fox, and ultimately I just think that the tone of the movie we wanted to make was very far from what they wanted to do — or, you know, maybe they’re waiting to see how they do it with us or without us,” Tatum said. “We call every once in a while, but we’ve got to spiritually, emotionally, kind of mentally let it go.”

Speaking to other chapters of his film career, Tatum also touched on a previous franchise — actioner G.I. Joe — and the upcoming installment of his, the actor said that it will be the first installment led by a woman in a franchise historically celebrated for empowering women — but without any female leads.

“Really, the first two movies are feathered-fish sort of movies, in my opinion,” Tatum said. “They’re movies about men made for women or people that like men, but none of them had really strong female characters. So it felt like we sort of hoodwinked people on some level. Like we cheated the code.”

No not necessary

OMG 😲 3 words, DON'T DO IT!

NO

Why? Hollywood's lost the ability to tell new stories?

Oh great, another woman in Hollywood gets ghosted

I think nobody would have saw that coming and he should do what is best for him right now.

hmmm... potential casting, for kicks. 530am i'm bored. Swayze - Channing Tatum Moore - Kevin Hart Goldberg - Nathan Lane Goldwyn - Zoe Saldana Aviles - Charles Melton Schiavelli - Eddie Murphy

channingtatum, I like and respect you. Please, leave Ghost alone for another 40 years, at least. There are SO many new stories out there that deserve the light of day.

No thank you

God dammit, let the man play Gambit already MarvelStudios !!

Hell no

Nope. Nope. Nope.

Plz no

Remaking Game of Thrones from Ghost’s perspective is a cool idea. Don’t know why everyone’s so mad about it.

Just have him play Swayze in a bio pic. Why is Hollywood so quick to erase Patrick Swayze? Point Break remake = trash Red Dawn remake = trash Dirty Dancing remake = trash Omg just found out Road House remake in post production. Let us enjoy the images and work he left us

WHY? please don’t do this! channingtatum

So sick of people remaking films. Doesn't anyone have an original idea in their heads anymore? FFS. And I hope he's not acting in it. He's better as a comedy actor.

Why butcher the classics? Why not spend the effort in creating something new?

No need to remake or do a new anything with Ghost. It’s Patrick & Jennifer’s movie

dude no. leave the classics alone. its not gonna end well.

Remaking such a classic movie 😬
