Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill's drug-busting buddy cop movies , "21 Jump Street" and "22 Jump Street," were huge hits among fans, but is there a possibility of a 23 Jump Street? Dance School, perhaps?

Don't count on it, actor Channing Tatum said.

"I feel like that would be a cop-out," he said while guesting at USA Today.

"College was the obvious next step for us. We had to go there. I don't know what the next step is after college. Do we go and take down Enron? Or the government in D.C.? I feel like it's all redundant," he said.

"22 Jump Street" was released just summer of this year and was directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller. The comedy grossed $327 million worldwide, even though it just basically repeats what happened in the first movie -- which they actually say in the movie itself.

"The big running joke of the second movie is this is just going to be bigger ... than the first time," Tatum said. "I don't know if that joke works three times, so we'll see."

When the film premiered in June, the "Magic Mike" actor told The Hollywood Reporter what he thought about sequels in general. "[They] are a terrible idea -- they're just more expensive and worse than the first one, and they're 'missions,' not movies," he said.

The film's producing parter, Reid Carolin quickly added that, "There's always a moment when you're trying to make a sequel that you think to yourself, no matter how well the first one did, 'God the bar is set so high -- should we actually go back to do this again?' Everyone wants you to go back in, but you all look at each other and say, 'Is it worth it?'"

Speaking of sequels, Tatum and Carolin are currently working on another sequel: "Magic Mike XXL."

"Look, it's hard! We're going to take our liberties. You've got to get up to the plate and swing for the fences; you can't just be 'meh.'" the actor said about working on the second installment for the male strippers movie.
