Tatum did not reveal how his injury occurred. However, the actor is known for doing many of his own stunts in his movies and opened up about a leg injury in a September interview withVariety.
He explained that he injured himself while shootingAvengers: Doomsday, which is set for a December 2026 release.
The outlet reported that Tatum showed up for the interview with a limp. As a result, the actor had to undergo intensive physical therapy for the leg injury, meaning his stunt double was then required to take over more of Tatum's heavier scenes.
"It's not about the pain I feel in the moment," Tatum said of his leg injury. "It's knowing I can't take this back. And now I know what the next six months of my life will be like … I just hate getting old. In my mind, I'm literally still 30 years old — 26, if I'm honest."
