And what about that Men in Black crossover?
It's been over ten years since Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill first went undercover as high schoolers trying to bust a drug ring in the R-rated comedy hit 21 Jump Street. Unsurprisingly, the duo returned for a sequel in 2014, along with directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller, who have since exploded with projects such as The Lego Movie, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and its sequels, The Last Man on Earth, and Apple TV+'s The Afterparty.
The initially inexplicable plan actually made a bit of sense when one considers how such a project could skewer “cinematic universes” like 21 Jump Street poked fun at movie adaptations of TV shows and high school movies while 22 Jump Street had all sorts of meta-gags about sequels. Meanwhile, bringing in the Men in Black universe would be an automatic way to get this installment to feel different from its predecessors.
Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum's Careers Shifted Away From '23 Jump Street' Even with that development, though, things began to move along on the development of MIB 23, with director James Bobin getting hired to helm the feature in early 2016. However, a new problem emerged by the end of this year through the career trajectories of the saga’s leading men, Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum.
By the end of the 2010s, the importance of the Jump Street movies hadn’t just been dialed down for Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill. It was also less of a massive necessity for Sony/Columbia Pictures. Though the studio would obviously love to have as many ongoing lucrative franchises as possible, the Jump Street movies weren’t a massive priority for this outfit.
