Magic Mike's Last Dance: Mike will finally have an affair within the HBO Max sequel
In a roundtable discussion of Steven Soderbergh and Zoe Kravitz about their upcoming film KIMI, the director briefly talked about the highly anticipated third installment in the Magic Mike story, titled Magic Mike's Last Dance. Soderbergh also spoke about his desire to inspire Channing Tatum to keep telling the story. It is in part inspired by Tatum's past as stripper from Tampa, Florida.

Soderbergh produced Magic Mike, which was released in 2012. It was a big popular with critics and viewers, who not only praised the sexy appeal and dance sequences but also the script, direction and the performances. Tatum was in the film with Alex Pettyfer, Matt Bomer, Joe Manganiello, and Matthew McConaughey. Bomer and Manganiello were also back along with Tatum for the sequel to Magic Mike XXL, this time directed by Gregory Jacobs, who was the first assistant director for the first film. The sequel was a huge success both critically and financially.


In the days when Magic Mike was still just one of many concepts, Soderbergh remembers pointing to it as the film Tatum should be focusing on. He explained that when Tatum presented his idea on the set of Haywire, it immediately got his attention. After the story was finished, Soderbergh was eager to be involved in making the idea an actual reality.

A third film is on the way, that was announced in November, titled Magic Mike's Last Dance , Soderbergh gave us a little hint of what's to come when the film's final scene airs. He stated that, while he was aware that the Magic Mike concept would be an enormous success, he didn't think that Tatum was looking to expand the universe of the film into a larger area, one that dealt with the subject of relationships, masculinity and respect. The concept was further developed in the sequel.

"The third movie is kind of the culmination of everything we've been discussing in that area. The dance isn't just taken to a new level, but actually exploring the aspect of relationships that has been the main focus of every film. Mike has a relationship that's central to this movie, while the rest is happening. We haven't done that before."

While Last Dance could very well be the last dance of Mike Lane, Soderbergh's return to the series is a thrilling development. Following the XXL sequel we've made it to the top of the mountain, but there's more to reveal about Mike's life story.
