Warner Bros has teased the Magic Mike trilogy completer – official title: Magic Mike’s Last Dance – with a titillating trailer that not only welcomes the return of Channing Tatum as eponymous protagonist, Mike “Magic Mike” Lane, but also the original instalment’s director Steven Soderbergh; the sequel having been helmed by Gregory Jacobs.
Based on the footage previewed, in the years since Magic Mike XXL, Tatum’s Mike once again finds himself making ends meet with a menial job he doesn’t particularly care for. This time around, it involves bartending instead of carpentry. But when he dazzles a wealthy socialite (Salma Hayek Pinault) with his chair-grinding prowess, they take the show – and their blossoming romance – all the way to London.
“We’re going to wake them up with a wave of passion they’ve never felt before,” Salma Hayek Pinault’s character can be heard saying in the Magic Mike’s Last Dance trailer.

“I want every woman who walks into this theatre to feel a woman can have whatever she wants, whenever she wants.”
Channing Tatum and Salma Hayek Pinault have been joined by an all-new cast of Gavin Spokes, Caitlin Gerard, Christopher Bencomo, Ayub Khan Din, and Juliette Motamen – although there’s every chance we’ll be treated to a cameo from the one and only Matthew McConaughey as Dallas.
Director Steven Soderbergh has once again collaborated with screenwriter Reid Carolin, who penned the first two Magic Mike films, and cinematigrapher Peter Andrews, who you will have encountered through the likes of Soderbergh’s No Sudden Movie, Unsane, The Knick, Side Effects, Haywire, and Contagion (in addition to the stripping franchise in question).
Magic Mike’s Last Dance hits theatres on February 10th of 2023 – check out the trailer above.
