Channing Tatum is unsure Matthew McConaughey will want to be in โ€˜Magic Mikeโ€™s Last Dance.โ€™

The 41-year-old actor โ€“ who stars as the eponymous stripper in the film series โ€“ admitted that he is unsure whether his co-star Matthew McConaughey will be reprising his role of Dallas for the third instalment after he refused to take part in the first sequel.

He said: โ€œI donโ€™t know if Matthew would want to do [โ€˜Magic Mikeโ€™s Last Danceโ€™], he loves what he did in the first movie so much. He was like, โ€˜I donโ€™t want to touch it.โ€

Channing then went on to heap praise on Matthew โ€“ who played former stripper Dallas and boss of Magic Mike in the cult hit โ€“ and singled him out as the โ€œstarโ€ of the film.

Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, he added: โ€œI mean, Iโ€™m not saying anything about mine or anyone elseโ€™s performances. He was the star, he was the movie, it was special. I canโ€™t tell you how many times I had to watch the movie because of different edits Steven [Soderbergh] would do, and I would just fast forward to when he blew the fire, and Iโ€™m like, โ€˜Yeah, heโ€™s a swan song.โ€

โ€˜Magic Mikeโ€™s Last Danceโ€™ is set to be released later this year and marks Channingโ€™s first movie appearance after a four year break.

The star previously promised that he had โ€œlistenedโ€ to fans of the series and claimed that the upcoming movie will feature โ€œless character, more dancing.โ€

He said: โ€œI want this movie to be filled with joy and fun. Everybody is like, โ€˜Less character, more dancing.โ€™ So Iโ€™ve listened.โ€
