Magic Mike is a 2012 American dramedy that follows Adam (Alex Pettyfer), a 19-year old who enters the male stripping industry under the guidance of Michael «Magic Mike» Lane (Tatum), who has been in the business for years. The film, directed by Steven Soderbergh, also stars Olivia Munn, Matthew McConaughey, Cody Horn, and Gabriel Iglesias.

The film will be titled Magic Mike's Last Dance and will see the return of Tatum and director Soderbergh.

While Tatum was a bit leery about returning forMagic Mike 3, there is a version that he would definitely be down for.
