Channing Tatum [1] is breaking out some new moves! On 29 Nov., 2021, Deadline announced [2] the Magic Mike franchise is returning with a new film, with Tatum reprising his role as the Mike Lane. The actor also teased the news on social media, sharing a photo of the script for "Magic Mike's Last Dance" in a 29 Nov., 2021, tweet [3]. Now, over a year later, Tatum has once again graced us with his rock-hard abs.

The stripperverse will never be the same," Tatum previously said about the latest film, according to Deadline.
