Get ready to get your money’s worth for Magic Mike 3 when it hits cinemas next year. 

The final film of the MM trilogy, Magic Mike’s Last Dance, will apparently boast a final dance that will be half an hour long, according to the director, Steven Soderbergh. 

Speaking to Empire Magazine, the filmmaker confirmed that they'll be calling time on the franchise in the most elaborate way possible, to ensure Magic Mike goes out with a bang. 

Steven explained: “We wanted to blow the dancing up in a big way. We have this dance number with Channing [Tatum] and Salma [Hayek] right up front. And then the last 30-plus minutes of the movie are just this giant dance sequence.

"My job is, how do I make each one of these distinct? I can't shoot them all the same way, I have to come up with a different approach for each dance. And that was really the challenge."

We have yet to see if some of that mammoth dance was teased in the official trailer, which landed earlier this month. 

Magic Mike's Last Dance will see Tatum return as stripper-turned-bartender Mike Lane, seven years after fans last saw him in sequel Magic Mike XXL. 

As seen in the first-look, Mike flees to Miami following the events of XXL, he soon bumps into a lonely socialite, played by Salma Hayek, who convinces him to hit the stage for one last hurrah.

Things certainly heat up between Mike and Salma’s character, who persuades the hunky dancer to up sticks and move to London, where he can put on the dazzling Magic Mike stage show within the walls of a rundown West End theatre.

Speaking to virginradio.co.uk back in April, Tatum himself shared his enthusiasm for a third instalment, saying: “It’s going pretty crazy, I’ve got to be honest. 

“You’re going to see some stuff that you’ve never seen before in these movies. We were like, look if we’re going to do a third, we might as well go all out and change the whole formula.”

Magic Mike’s Last Dance will hit cinemas on 10th February 2023.
