Channing Tatum has signed on for an unspecified role.

The original report follows ...

Channing Tatum is eyeing a role in Quentin Tarantino's The Hateful Eight, according to Deadline. The website claims Tatum is "circling a major role" in the film, which begins filming in early 2015.

Should Tatum join, he'll be working alongside the likes of Samuel L Jackson, Michael Madsen, Bruce Dern, Kurt Russell, Tim Roth, and the recently announced female lead Jennifer Jason Leigh, who is set to play the part of Daisy Domergue; a wanted criminal being transported by two bounty hunters.

Aside from The Hateful Eight, Tatum is also set to star as X-Men's Gambit, in a film produced by Days of Future Past's Simon Kinberg and Lauren Shuler Donner, with a script reportedly penned by Robocop's Chris Claremont.

Tarantino almost shelved The Hateful Eight after its script leaked online earlier this year, but later, at San Diego Comic-Con in July, confirmed the project will go ahead.
