Channing Tatum is back in ‘Magic Mike’s Last Dance’
Channing Tatum is returning to Magic Mike! The 41-year-old actor took to Instagram on Monday to announce that he’ll be starring in a third Magic Mike flick, which will debut exclusively on HBO Max.
Tatum shared a pic of the script, which features the film’s title, Magic Mike’s Last Dance, and reveals that it was written by Reid Carolin and will be directed by Steven Soderbergh.
Carolin and Soderbergh both held the same jobs for the franchise’s first flick, Magic Mike, in 2012. Carolin also penned the 2015 sequel, Magic Mike XXL, which was directed by Gregory Jacobs, who will return to produce the third installment.
“Well world, looks like Mike Lane’s tapping back in,” Tatum captioned his post.
In a press release, Tatum added, “There are no words for how excited I am to blow the doors off of the world of Magic Mike with Steven, Greg, Reid, and the amazing people at HBO Max. The stripperverse will never be the same.”
The first two Magic Mike films grossed nearly $300 million worldwide and spawned the successful stage experience Magic Mike Live, which is set to go on a North American tour next year. Those live shows inspired the upcoming HBO Max reality competition series Finding Magic Mike, which will premiere on Dec. 16 and is produced by Tatum.
