While a sequel hasn't been confirmed, Channing Tatum hopes to work with Brad Pitt on a future sequel in the ‘21 Jump Street’ franchise. Tatum starred alongside Jonah Hill in Phil Lord and Chris Miller's comedy series starting with the original 2012 release. The actor is set to appear in the romantic comedy ‘The Lost City’ alongside Pitt in March 2022.
Adapting the 1987 police procedural drama of the same name, ‘21 Jump Street’ starred Tatum as Greg Jenko, a slow learning but good-hearted cop who is recruited to put a stop to the circulation of a new drug alongside partner Morton Schmidt (Hill). Made to pose as high-school students, the pair relive high school from an entirely new perspective, with the two directors using the comedic reboot to explore the premise with their more meta, self-aware writing, even existing in the original series' continuity thanks to a cameo appearance. While a female-centered ‘21 Jump Street’ entry is in the works, Tatum has yet to return as Jenko following 2014's ‘22 Jump Street,’ but the star has recently shared his own hopes for Jenko and Schmidt's third cinematic adventure.
Talking to VMAN (via People) about his work on the upcoming romantic comedy adventure movie The Lost City, Tatum revealed that there is one ‘The Lost City’ cast member that he feels would be a perfect fit for the series. In the interview, Tatum stated that were he to ever work on a third ‘21 Jump Street’ movie with Hill, Lord, and Miller, he would have to bring Pitt in to play a role. Placing emphasis on Pitt's comedic talents in The Lost City, Tatum explained that the popular Hollywood star could provide a perfect performance for the series if he was given the right character.
