Channing Tatum has been a staple of the Hollywood scene for a long time, making his film debut in 2005 and getting his breakout role just one year later with 2006’s Step Up. Since then, the star has gone on to be one of the most successful names in the business, starring in big projects like the Magic Mike franchise, the 21 Jump Street franchise, and both of the more recent G.I. Joe adaptations, as well as several underappreciated movies. Most recently, he has lent his star power to the project Red Shirt, which he will both star in and produce via his Free Association company.

Red Shirt is an original idea pitched by Simon Kinberg, and has 87 North producers Kelly McCormick and David Leitch attached, with Leitch also set to direct the project. While there aren’t many plot details available about the project, many early reports describe it as an international spy thriller, which fits in quite nicely as some of Channing Tatum’s best performances involve roles in adjacent genres. While generally seen as a comedic actor, Tatum has shown a versatility that is sure to comfort those going into Red Shirt with high hopes for another stellar performance.
