Get in the mood for 'Magic Mike's Last Dance'!
As seen in the trailer for Magic Mike's Last Dance, the sequel will show Mike growing up into an entrepreneur and launching a brand-new show where sexuality and fantasies are celebrated rather than censored. Steven Soderbergh, who directed the first movie, is back at the helm of this threequel. Besides Channing Tatum reprising his titular role, Last Dance also features Salma Hayek in the cast.
The most interesting thing about Magic Mike's Last Dance is that it will tell a fictionalized version of the story behind creating Magic Mike Live - a live show that already exists in the real world and has been an XXL hit (pun intended) ever since its launch.
The touring company of Magic Mike Live is currently performing in Miami, Florida. Though this is a limited run in South Florida, the show is expected to stay in Miami for a few months. Overall, Magic Mike Live features a drop-dead gorgeous cast of sexy guys who serve body-ody-ody. The show, which welcomes people of all genders, also includes two openly LGBTQ+ cast members, highlighting that this is a much more inclusive event than its competitors.
