At this point it seems kinda strange that Channing Tatum hasn't appeared in a superhero movie. Okay, so technically he voiced Superman in The LEGO Movie. Despite being thought of as a bit of a joke, probably thanks to his comic turns and Magic Mike, Tatum has recently been getting a lot of recognition for his part in Foxcatcher. Tatum probably fancies something different after that earnest and serious based-on-true drama. Which is probably why he starred in the Wachowskis' forthcoming Jupiter Rising, where he plays a space elf. That's probably not going to be a hit, gloriously unhinged though it looks. Suicide Squad, meanwhile, is pretty much guaranteed to be a box office smash so long as they get a big name front and centre. Tatum fits the bill to a tee, and again, has both the right look and the talent to bring Rick Flag to life.
