Channing Tatum Details Magic Mike 3 Setting & Story!

The Lost Kingdom actor reveals new details for Magic Mike’s Last Dance, describing it as a “fish-out-of-water” and “reverse Pretty Woman story” set in London…

CelebnMovies247.cm reports that Channing Tatum describes the premise of the upcoming Magic Mike movie, Tatum references the 1990 romantic-comedy Pretty Woman, which follows Julia Roberts as a down-on-her-luck Hollywood sex worker Vivian Ward.

Channing Tatum has a long history of dance movies dating back to his breakthrough performance in 2006’s Step Up. Today, Tatum is best known for his titular role in 2012’s Magic Mike and its 2015 sequel, Magic Mike XXL. The film series, which is semi-biographical due to Tatum’s own past as a stripper in Florida, is largely credited for turning Tatum into a Hollywood star and cultivating his sex symbol persona he is known for today.

When Magic Mike XXL hit theaters, many thought the series would end with the second film. Afterwards, the Magic Mike brand continued through other mediums such as a touring cabaret show which launched the next year, followed by Finding Magic Mike, a dance competition show on HBO Max.

Warner Bros. shocked fans late last year when they announced Magic Mike 3 movie was in the works and set for HBO Max. Original director Steven Soderbergh and writer Reid Carolin are also on board for Magic Mike’s Last Dance, purportedly the last film in the series that will feature Tatum’s character.

Tatum said:

I leave for London tomorrow, and it’s going to be pretty bonkers. We’re kind of swinging for the fences — there never needs to be another stripper movie after this one. We’re trying to do a fish-out-of-water story where it’s a reverse-role Pretty Woman story that ends up with a lot of dancing in it.
