The "[url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/movie/488930/moviemain.jhtml"]Man From U.N.C.L.E.[/url]" casting wheel has spun once again, and this time it's landed on [url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/person/380573/personmain.jhtml"]Channing Tatum[/url].

The lead in the upcoming [url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/person/99241/personmain.jhtml"]Steven Soderbergh[/url] film has been up for grabs and connected to two other big name actors in recent months. First, [url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/person/12193/personmain.jhtml"]George Clooney[/url] had to step down from the role after he found out he needed surgery and would be unable to perform the stunts needed for the action film.

Next, [url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/person/256873/personmain.jhtml"]Bradly Cooper[/url] stepped in to fill the void left by Clooney. Cooper left the project only days ago.

Now, [url="http://www.deadline.com/2011/11/channing-tatum-for-man-from-u-n-c-l-e/"]Deadline is reporting[/url] that upcoming "[url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/movie/476782/moviemain.jhtml"]Magic Mike[/url]" star Channing Tatum is being eyed to reteam with that film's director, Soderbergh, for "U.N.C.L.E." No deal has been made as of yet, but this could be the beginning of a Soderbergh-Tatum partnership.

Reports also linked Australian actor [url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/person/229458/personmain.jhtml"]Joel Edgerton[/url] to a role, but it is unknown whether he is still in talks.
