’24 Jump Street’ in the Works With Jonah Hill, Channing Tatum and Ice Cube in Talks to Return (EXCLUSIVE)

“24 Jump Street” is in the works, and stars Jonah Hill, Channing Tatum and Ice Cube are in talks to return for the third installment in the R-rated crime comedy franchise.

Rodney Rothman (“Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse”) will direct the film and wrote the script with Hill and Meghan Malloy. Also returning are producers Phil Lord and Chris Miller — who helmed the first two films, 2012’s “21 Jump Street” and 2014’s “22 Jump Street” — and Neal H. Moritz. Tatum and Reid Carolin are producing for Free Association, as are Hill and Matt Dines under their Strong Baby banner. 

“21 Jump Street” starred Hill and Tatum as Schmidt and Jenko, a couple of underachieving cops who go undercover at a local high school to take down a drug ring. The film, which marked Lord and Miller’s live-action directorial debut, grossed more than $200 million worldwide. Ice Cube plays their superior, Captain Dickson. The sequel, which saw the Hill and Tatum repeat their undercover schtick in college, topped that total with a $331 million box office haul.

What Happened to ‘23 Jump Street’?

Jonah Hill, Channing Tatum and Ice Cube are in talks to reprise their roles for the threequel that appears to have skipped an address.

It looks like Jonah Hill, Channing Tatum and Ice Cube are moving into 24 Jump Street.

However, after The Hollywood Reporter learned Wednesday that the threequel was in development at Sony Pictures, it begged the question: What happened to 23 Jump Street, as the last film in the action-comedy franchise was titled 22 Jump Street?

THR asked Sony for more information on the reason behind the new installment’s title, but did not hear back at the time of publication. Until the answer is revealed (and it honestly might not be until the film’s released), there are definitely a few justifications fans can speculate about.

Channing Tatum successfully bullies 24 Jump Street into existence

Late last year, we noted that franchise star Channing Tatum was starting to express some pretty public frustrations at the inability of his and Jonah Hill’s Jump Street series of cop comedies to get a third installment—going so far, at the time, to publicly name series producer Neal H. Moritz as the stopping block in getting another movie made. (Tatum claimed, in an interview to Variety, that he, Hill, and original directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller had all agreed to take pay cuts to get a second sequel produced, but Moritz refused to follow suit.) Now, in a shining reminder that, sometimes, bullying works, Deadline reports that a new installment of the series has officially been put into development at Sony—even if the studio did, apparently, feel like it needed to hop right over 23 Jump Street to get it done.
