Though your first reaction might be to groan at this pick, just think about it for a moment.

Like the late, great King of Harts, Channing Tatum is a natural joker, and considering he demonstrated terrific chemistry with Adam Driver in last year's Logan Lucky - where they also played screen brothers - there's no reason they can't light up the screen together here.

While Tatum is already quite a bit older than Owen was in 1997 and he doesn't immediately appear younger than Adam Driver, the aforementioned prior chemistry with Driver, Tatum's absurd athleticism and his brilliant prior work playing a wrestler in Foxcatcher make him a convincing fit all the same.

The "I can't take Channing Tatum seriously" excuse died years ago, so it's easy to imagine him bringing plenty of compassion to the table while playing one of the most beloved talents in the history of the industry.
