It never ends. Coming from Deadline, Marvel is expanding their search even further, with Channing Tatum coming in to read for Captain America.
Interesting story I heard recently about Tatum. Asked by director Dito Montiel to star in Son of No One, Tatum agreed. But when Millennium and Nu Image took over the film and tried to squeeze Tatum on a deal that was already a discount, the actor's UTA reps told Montiel that it looked like Tatum wouldn't make the movie. This would have been a big problem, since Nu Image sold foreign on the film, right after Tatum scored a solid hit with Dear John. The movie might have imploded without him playing a young cop who questions a murder cover-up. Rather than accepting the equivalent of a Dear John letter, Montiel tracked down Tatum on the faraway set of the Steven Soderbergh-directed Knockout. After a heart-to-heart, Tatum was suddenly back in the picture, which sounds like a very Captain America thing to do. Sources close to Tatum said that the call prompted Millennium to live up to its original deal and that's why the film will go forward.
