Although
Channing Tatum didn't reveal how the injury occurred,
TMZ reported that, according to their sources, he hurt his shoulder in a fall while skiing during the Sundance Film Festival.
He attended the festival to promote his films
Josephine and
Nuisance Bear — both of which received awards.

After
Channing Tatum arrived at a September 2025
Variety interview with a limp, he told the publication that he sustained an injury while filming
Avengers: Doomsday, which is scheduled for a December release.
According to the report, his stunt double handled many of the physically demanding scenes while he underwent physical therapy.
He noted that they "had tons more shooting" on the superhero flick, including a "big fight" scene with
Robert Downey Jr., who portrays Doctor Doom.
"It's not about the pain I feel in the moment," Tatum said. "It's knowing I can't take this back. And now I know what the next six months of my life will be like. … I just hate getting old. In my mind, I'm literally still 30 years old — 26, if I'm honest."
