Channing Tatum cemented his name as a lucrative star in Hollywood with the 2012s Magic Mike. Based on his own experience as a stripper in Tampa, Florida, the movie went on to become a huge commercial success and was followed by a sequel, Magic Mike XXL, three years later, which went on to become even more successful. So it is safe to say there is significant anticipation for the final movie in the trilogy and after eight years, that expectation has turned into reality with Magic Mike’s Last Dance.
Tatum has released a new poster for the upcoming feature, that sees a black-and-white image of the actor dancing with Salma Hayek, who plays a wealthy socialite. The message in elegant, colorful typography on top reads, “The Last Tease.” The image coupled with its message makes the movie feel equal parts seductive and sophisticated. Magic Mike’s Last Dance is easily among the most anticipated release of 2023, prepping the franchise to go out with a bang.
The feature will follow Mike taking to the stage once again when a business deal goes bad and leaves him broke and bartending in Florida. Mike then heads to London with a rich and bored socialite (played by Hayek) he meets, hoping for a last hurrah. Though he soon finds the woman has an agenda of her own and now his career is on the line. Tatum, who also produced the film, previously described the movie as a “fish-out-of-water story,” sort of a reverse-role ‘Pretty Woman’ story that ends up with a lot of dancing in it.” Speaking of dancing, director Steven Soderbergh revealed that the “last 30-plus minutes of the movie are just this giant dance sequence.”
