Channing Tatum is widely known for the Magic Mike and Step Up movies. The actor has always given us some heartfelt stories, foot-tapping sequences, and laugh-out-loud characters. As great as he has been with comedy and drama, he’s equally good at action roles with films like White House Down and G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, cementing him in the genre.
Over the last few years, he has shown an amazing range with films like Deadpool and Wolverine, where he had an amazing Gambit cameo, Roofman, where he played a charismatic criminal, Blink Twice, where he played a tech billionaire villain, and more interesting characters. Among them is Adam Nee’s The Lost City, where he shares the screen with Sandra Bullock and Daniel Radcliffe.
The story follows a reclusive romance novelist, Loretta (Bullock), on a book tour, who is kidnapped by a billionaire, Abigail (Radcliffe), searching for an ancient treasure. Things take a turn when Alan (Tattum) sets out to save her, and they are thrust into a real jungle adventure, forcing them to survive in the wilderness and each other. The feature also has a solid cameo from Brad Pitt as a former Navy SEAL, Jack Trainer, who helps Alan in the mission.
The film was a great commercial success, grossing $192.9 million worldwide against an estimated production budget of $74 million. Further, it earned a 78% approval rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, whereas fans gave it an even better rating of 83%. Now it seems the global audience is rediscovering the film three years after its original release. The Lost City is at #3 on Paramount+’s global top 10 list, as per FlixPatrol. The movie is certainly worth your time for both Tatum and Bullock’s screwball chemistry. Harry Potter star Radcliffe played a fascinating villain who is equal parts chivalrous and dangerous. Pitt’s cameo is the cherry on top for the film full of brilliant performers. The movie also cast Da'Vine Joy Randolph as Loretta's publisher Beth, Oscar Nunez as Oscar, Patti Harrison as Allison, Bowen Yang as Ray, and Stephen Lang as a fantasy villain, among others.
Collider Exclusive · Middle-earth Quiz
Which Lord of the Rings
Race Do You Belong To?
Hobbit · Elf · Dwarf · Man · Orc
Middle-earth is home to many peoples — the courageous, the ancient, the stubborn, the ambitious, and the wretched. Ten questions will determine which race truly claims your soul. The answer may surprise you. Or it may confirm what you already suspected.

💀Orc
01
What does your ideal day look like? How we rest reveals as much as how we fight.
02
How do you feel about the passing of time? Our relationship with mortality shapes everything we value.
03
Danger is approaching. Your first instinct is to: Fight, flight, or something in between — it's more revealing than you'd think.
04
You stumble upon a great treasure. What do you feel? What we desire — and what we do about it — is the true test.
05
How important is community and belonging to you? No race of Middle-earth is truly alone — but some prefer it that way.
06
How ambitious are you, honestly? Ambition is neither virtue nor vice — it depends entirely on what you want.
07
Where do you feel most at home in the natural world? Middle-earth is vast — and every race has its place within it.
08
What kind of strength do you most respect? Every race defines strength differently — and they're all at least a little right.
09
What do you want to leave behind when you're gone? Legacy is the story we tell ourselves about why any of this matters.
10
Be honest — what do you actually want most out of life? The truest question always comes last.
Middle-earth Has Spoken You Belong To…
The race that claimed the most of your answers is your true kin. If two tied, both are shown — you walk between worlds.
◆ A TIE — YOU WALK BETWEEN TWO RACES ◆
🌿
Your Race
The Hobbits
You are, at your core, a creature of comfort, community, and quiet joy — and there is nothing small about that. Hobbits are proof that heroism does not require ambition, that the bravest heart can beat inside the most unassuming chest. You value good food, warm hearths, close friends, and a world that stays largely untroubled by dark lords and quests. When adventure does find you — and it will — you rise to it not because you sought it, but because the people you love needed you to. That is not ordinary. That is the rarest kind of courage in all of Middle-earth.
🌟
Your Race
The Elves
Ancient, graceful, and carrying a weight of memory most mortals cannot fathom, you are one of the Elves. You see the world in its fullness — its beauty, its impermanence, the unbearable ache of watching everything you love eventually fade. You pursue perfection not from pride, but because excellence is how you honour the time you have been given. Others may see you as remote or melancholy. They are not wrong, exactly. But they mistake depth for distance. You feel everything — which is precisely why you have learned to carry it so quietly.
⚒️
Your Race
The Dwarves
Stubborn, proud, fiercely loyal, and possessed of a work ethic that would exhaust most other races before breakfast — you are Dwarf-kind through and through. You do not ask for approval and you do not offer it cheaply. Your loyalty, once given, is given for life. Your grudges last longer. You love deeply and defend ferociously, and the things you build — with your hands, with your sweat, with generations of accumulated craft — are made to last. Not for glory. Because anything worth doing is worth doing properly, and you have never once done anything by half measures.
⚔️
Your Race
The Race of Men
Mortal, ambitious, flawed, and magnificent — you belong to the most complicated race in Middle-earth, and that complexity is your greatest strength. Men are capable of cowardice and extraordinary bravery, of cruelty and breathtaking sacrifice, sometimes within the same breath. You feel the urgency of your finite years, and it drives you. You want to matter. You want to leave something behind. You fall, and you rise, and the rising is what defines you. Tolkien called mortality the Gift of Men — not a curse, but a fire that burns bright precisely because it does not burn forever. That fire is you.
💀
Your Race
The Orcs
Brutal, survivalist, and contemptuous of anything that can't defend itself — you answered with the instincts of an Orc, and there is a certain savage honesty in that. You do not dress up your desires in polite language or pretend you want things you don't. You want power, survival, and to never be at the bottom of any hierarchy ever again. Orcs are not evil by nature — they were made from something that was once good, and broken into this shape by forces they did not choose. What remains is fierce, territorial, and deeply aware that the world is not kind. You've made your peace with that. The question is what you do with it.
Tatum is booked and busy working on several projects. Later this year, fans will see his return as Gambit in the MCU’s Avengers: Doomsday. Led by Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom, the next superhero mashup will bring back several notable names from the franchise like Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Tom Hiddleston, Anthony Mackie, and many more.
