The Spider-Man: No Way Home star, 25, plays alongside Mark Wahlberg, 50, who portrays Victor ‘Sully’ Sullivan. The two go on a quest to find the legendary treasure of Magellan’s lost gold.
Over the course of the video game series Sully – a former military man – becomes something of a parental figure to young Nate.
Meanwhile Dog is a comedy-drama that follows Tatum, 41, as Army Ranger Briggs who is tasked with escorting a dog to a fellow serviceman’s funeral.
He strikes a close connection with the Belgian Malinois pup named Lulu and embarks on a journey of self discovery.

The good looking Magic Mike star helped the film by bringing in a 54% female audience.
UAR distribution boss Erik Lomis spoke to Deadline and seemed thrilled that the market appeared to be back on track after a COVID lull.
‘It’s the first time two movies have overperformed in the same weekend in a long time,’ he said.
Lomis then added, ‘This speaks to the health of the market and shouldn’t be overlooked. The marketplace can sustain more than one overperformer.’

The film – set in rural 18th-century France – is written and directed by Sean Ellis, and follows pathologist John McBride (played by Boyd Holbrook) who comes to a small village that’s haunted by a supernatural force.
