Along with Tom Cruise leading The Mummy (which also featured Russell Crowe as Dr. Jekyll), Johnny Depp is playing the Invisible Man, Angelina Jolie is the top choice to play the Bride of Frankenstein and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is rumored to be up for the Wolf Man.
Tatum would fit well among these Hollywood faces.
Buried in its write-up of what the future holds for some of the franchises that delivered movies this summer season, THR noted that the script for Van Helsing is being polished and “aimed” for Channing Tatum.
This is by no means confirmation that Tatum will hop aboard the blockbuster, but if a deal is worked out, he would be another Hollywood name to help market this franchise for the masses.
