Channing Tatum's Roman centurion costume and shield from The Eagle on display...

Channing Tatum may soon be reprising his comedic undercover cop role in 22 Jump Street, but it wasn't that long ago that he was acting all serious alongside Jamie Bell in 2011's Roman era movie, The Eagle.

as Marcus Aquila in The Eagle

Set in 2nd century AD Britain, the actor plays a Roman centurion venturing into Caledonia with the aid of a Scottish slave (Jamie Bell) searching for his father and his missing Ninth Legion after their disappearance twenty years earlier.

The film was based on Rosemary Sutcliff's 1954 novel, The Eagle of the Ninth, and this exhibit was photographed on display at Universal Studios Hollywood on April 15, 2014.

Michael O'Connor was Costume Designer on this historical-themed movie and you can see more of his costume designs and props from The Eagle on display here at Hollywood Movie Costumes and Props, from when the movie was released in cinemas in early 2011.
