Channing Tatum and Charlize Theron are collaborating on their inaugural movie project.
In the world of entertainment, exciting news is brewing as two Hollywood powerhouses, Channing Tatum and Charlize Theron, are set to star in a new family comedy titled "Dance Parents". Directed by Jonathan Levine, the film is currently under development by Universal Pictures [2][3][5].
The plot of "Dance Parents" revolves around two parents navigating a humorous journey related to their children's dance activities [1][4]. The film is primarily described as a family comedy with a dance-related theme.
Universal Pictures secured the film after a competitive bidding war, marking it as a highly anticipated production [2][3][5]. As of early August 2025, no specific release date has been officially announced for "Dance Parents" [1][2][3][4][5].
Meanwhile, Channing Tatum will also be seen in the upcoming film "Roofman", scheduled to release in US theaters on October 10, and in Germany on November 27 [6]. In this movie, Tatum plays Jeffrey Manchester, a former US Army ranger who leads a double life [7]. Kirsten Dunst stars opposite Tatum in "Roofman".
On a separate note, Charlize Theron is currently starring in the Netflix action film "The Old Guard" sequel and serving as a co-producer [8]. Additionally, Theron is set to appear in Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey" in July 2026, playing the sorceress Circe [9]. It's important to note that "The Odyssey" is not related to the film "Dance Parents".
Jonathan Levine, who is also a producer, will direct "Dance Parents" under Channing Tatum's production company, Free Association, and Charlize Theron's company, Secret Menu [3]. As the project moves forward, fans eagerly await further details about this promising collaboration.
