Hollywood actor Channing Tatum recently joked that he wants to do another instalment in the male stripper movie franchise, `Magic Mike` when he`s 70 years old.
According to People magazine, while speaking to a news outlet about the highly anticipated third film, `Magic Mike`s Last Dance`, Tatum said, “The only one I said I`d actually do before we decided on this version, was the Grumpy Old Men version when we`re like 70. When we`re 70, I want to get the team back together, for sure.”
The actor teamed up with director Steven Soderbergh and writer Reid Carolin for the 2012 comedy-drama, which was loosely based on Tatum`s experience as an 18-year-old stripper in Tampa, Florida. He also starred in the 2015 sequel `Magic Mike XXL`, which was directed by Gregory Jacobs.
Tatum had revealed in November that he was reuniting with Soderbergh and Carolin to round out the trilogy, posting a photo to Twitter of the screenplay`s cover page. “Well world, looks like Mike Lane`s tapping back in,” he wrote at the time.
The trained dancer told People magazine he wants to step it up with the upcoming sequel`s choreography. “I want it to be the Super Bowl of stripping,” he said earlier this month.
Tatum also revealed that the `Magic Mike Live` stage show, which premiered in London in 2018, was ultimately the catalyst for the upcoming movie. “I wanted the live show to be the third movie,” he explained.
`Magic Mike`s Last Dance` will be available exclusively on HBO Max. A premiere date has not yet been announced.
