Reacting to the third movie's confirmation, Warner Bros. Pictures Group chairman Toby Emmerich said (via Deadline): "Is there anybody on screen more charismatic and appealing than Magic Mike? We're thrilled to be back in business with Channing, Steven and their creative team to bring back Magic Mike's wonderful combination of dance, drama, romance and humour."
Tatum, who first played the iconic stripper almost a whole decade ago, went on to add: "There are no words for how excited I am to blow the doors off of the world of Magic Mike with Steven, Greg [Jacobs, producer], Reid [Carolin, writer], and the amazing people at HBO Max. The stripperverse will never be the same."
Soderbergh, in his own words, was so taken by the live stage adaptation that he felt compelled to revisit the world of Magic Mike.
"Mike Lane's dream of connecting people through dance must be realised," he commented.
