Exclusive: Tiffany Haddish in Talks to Star in New ‘Jump Street’ Movie
Tiffany Haddish is one of the hottest names in comedy at the moment and multiple sources have told Collider that the Girls Trip star is in talks for one of the new leads in Sony’s female-driven reboot of 21 Jump Street. Sony had no comment.

Rodney Rothman (22 Jump Street) is writing and directing the film, while Phil Lord and Chris Miller are expected to return as producers. Now, we know what you’re thinking. At 39 years old, isn’t Haddish a little old to be playing an undercover cop infiltrating a high school? Well, yes… if she was playing a student. But Collider hears that Haddish is going to play a teacher this time around, possibly posing as the mother of a new student — and fellow undercover cop.

As far as that role goes, multiple sources say that Awkwafina is at the top of Sony’s list, and for months I’ve heard that executives over there are big fans of the Crazy Rich Asians actress, who has also been considered for a supporting role in Sony’s Jumanji sequel.

Regardless of who stars opposite Haddish, Sony is looking to rebuild its Jump Street franchise around the breakout star of Girls Trip ($140 million worldwide), who most recently starred opposite newly-minted Oscars host Kevin Hart in another academia-set comedy, Night School, which grossed over $100 million worldwide. She has established herself as a true force of nature in the comedy world, and it makes sense that Sony would entrust her with one of its major franchises — something that Haddish doesn’t have on her budding resume unless you want to count voice roles in sequels to the animated hits The LEGO Movie and The Secret Life of Pets. The idea of pairing her with a fellow comic dynamo like Awkwafina is genuinely exciting, and hopefully Sony can figure out a way for them to partner up on the Jump Street force.

Channing is so dreamy.

I was intrigued to learn that Channing never got a shot in Hollywood on his own. He was being ignored like so many other guys.

Amanda Bynes insisted very firmly he be casted as a male lead in her movie despite Channing having no prior experience. She said she knew he had something. It took some work to get the producers to consider it as they already had said naw. Channing was almost never a thing.

i gotta admit its pretty admirable how fast they wanna run a franchise into the ground. not just haddish, whose movies have all bombed except for Girls Trip (Nobodys Fool, Night School, The Oath, Uncle Drew) but then to also toss in the most annoying character of Crazy Rich Asians, what a recipe for box office poison

Pretty sure the Jump Streets only worked because of the Tatum/Hill chemistry. Believing it was the strength of the plot and that it's recreatable with other actors is definitely a big mistake.

Speaking of mistakes, total bullshit MIB3 doesn't have Jonah and Tatum like we were teased in those leaked Sony emails years ago. Oh well, at least Hemsworth is pretty fucking great.
