Channing Tatum Explains Why He Is Done With 'Magic Mike'

Channing Tatum says Magic Mike’s Last Dance is really his last dance.

The 43-year-old actor starred in Magic Mike (2012), Magic Mike XXL (2015) and most recently, Magic Mike’s Last Dance (2023).

“I am done. We did it all,” Channing said. “We chewed all the meat off the bone on that one. There’s nothing left to do.”

But Channing did leave the door open for one possibility – coming back as a geriatric stripper. “That would be the only thing I would come back for, ‘Grumpy Old Strippers’,” he joked with People. “Like ‘Grumpy Old Men: Septuagenarian Strippers’.”

Channing recently reflected on the Magic Mike series in light of all of the recent streaming services and how money is spent on movies. “We made Magic Mike 2 for $12 million dollars and they spent $60-$70 million dollars to sell it. So, we’re spending exponentially more money to sell a movie than actually make the thing for you. That should be the other way around,” he said, thinking about how streamers have impacted storytelling.
