24 Jump Street: Channing Tatum, Ice Cube, Jonah Hill in Talks to Return

A 23 Jump Street film was previously in the works, designed as a crossover between the cop comedy and the Men in Black franchise that was ultimately scrapped, according to leaked Sony Pictures emails in 2014, obtained by Variety. 

“There is a project that was written,” Tatum told Comicbook.com in June 2024, “and it’s still the best script that I’ve ever read for a third movie.”

Despite little movement on the initial third installment, the Magic Mike star was still manifesting a new chapter for his and Hill’s cop duo, Jenko and Schmidt, who go undercover as students in a high school and, later, a college.

“You know what, I’m going to put some good juju out there and I’m going to say I would love to see 23 Jump Street,” he told the outlet. “I would love to do it with Jonah, and Jonah, I know, wants to do it. We would love to just get to go play again.”
