In a Tuesday profile with Vanity Fair alongside his Roofman co-star Kirsten Dunst, Tatum was asked if there were any roles that he passed on because it wasn't the right fit at the right time. Turns out, he had an answer: an unrealized adaptation of Beauty and the Beast from Guillermo del Toro. "One of the biggest mistakes of my career: Guillermo del Toro wanted to do Beauty and the Beast, his version of the Beast. And I'd just had a baby, I was on a movie that was absolutely killing me, and the script wasn't totally there yet," he explained. "I was just in a place in my head that I was like, 'I don't think I can do this right now.'"

And I think Guillermo doing Beauty and the Beast would've been the sickest movie ever." Dunst then asked, "And he never did it?" to which Tatum confirmed, "He didn't do it." "He's got a billion other things that he wants to do. He's such a creator," he added. "I'll probably never forgive myself on that one, but I hope we get to work together one day." In 2012, del Toro was attached to direct the Emma Watson-starring live action remake of the Disney story. However, he exited the project two years later, and the film was later directed by Bill Condon. Del Toro's latest project is another adaptation, his take on Frankenstein, which stars Oscar Isaac, Jacob Elordi and Mia Goth. The film had its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival, where it was met with a 14-minute standing ovation.
