Channing Tatum Joins Apple’s ‘Project Artemis’ Stepping In For Chris Evans As Greg Berlanti Comes On As Director

Apple’s high-profile space pic Project Artemis looks to be gearing up and also seeing two major changes

As Deadline is hearing that Channing Tatum is in talks to co-star opposite Scarlett Johansson while Greg Berlanti will now direct the pic.

Tatum replaces Chris Evans, who had to part ways with project due to scheduling conflicts with his upcoming pics Pain Hustlers and Big Red One.

That said, Apple and Evans just wrapped production on the upcoming action adventure romcom Ghosted that all parties are excited about.

Berlanti steps in for Jason Bateman, who as Deadline first reported last month, amicably parted ways with the film due to creative differences

The film is a high priority for Apple, who swooped in to drop $100 million+ to acquire the hot package when it hit the market this past spring.
