Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, the creative duo behind the Oscar-nominated Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse and Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, are producing 24 Jump Street. The project reunites them with the Jump Street franchise following their work on 22 Jump Street in 2014.
Jonah Hill, Channing Tatum, and Ice Cube are in talks to reprise their roles from the previous installment. Hill and Tatum anchored 22 Jump Street as undercover cops Schmidt and Jenko, while Ice Cube played their captain, Hines.
22 Jump Street grossed over $645 million worldwide and delivered strong laughs through its meta-humor and chemistry between leads. The film's success positioned a third entry as a natural studio priority, though the project stalled for years before Lord and Miller's attachment reignited development.
Lord and Miller's involvement signals Sony Pictures' commitment to elevating the Jump Street franchise beyond its 2012 predecessor. The pair's work on the Spider-Verse films demonstrates their ability to balance comedy, action, and heart across different tones. They also produced the Lego Movie franchises and directed the animated sci-fi comedy Clone High, establishing a track record of blending humor with visual storytelling.
The Jump Street series has always functioned as a comedy-action hybrid, leaning heavily on improvisation and self-aware humor about buddy cop tropes. Bringing Lord and Miller into the producer role rather than the director's chair suggests the studio wants their sensibility without abandoning the franchise's comedic foundation established by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller's original 21 Jump Street direction.
No director, writer, or release timeline has been announced. However, the project's movement reflects Hollywood's ongoing reliance on established IP and sequels, particularly when proven talent becomes available.
