Channing Tatum to join 'Man from U.N.C.L.E.'?

Channing Tatum could join The Man from U.N.C.L.E..

The actor is being eyed by director Steven Soderbergh for the film's lead role, Deadline reports.

George Clooney was originally supposed to star in the upcoming movie before a back injury forced him to pull out.

In September, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ryan Gosling and Alexander Skarsgård were among the list of actors named as potential stars of the Man from U.N.C.L.E. remake.

Based on a 1960s television series of the same name, The Man From U.N.C.L.E. centers on the adventures of American and Russian spies in a secret agency known as the United Network Command for Law & Enforcement (U.N.C.L.E.)

Soderbergh recently directed Tatum in Magic Mike, which is based on Tatum's real-life experiences as a teenage stripper.
