Sorry guys, Channing Tatum is not going to get any hotter in the sequel of the hit film “Magic Mike”. But just remembering that the film stars both Channing Tatum and Salma Hayek is enough to turn anyone on. Don’t worry, the director still wants people to feel “intimacy and genuine emotion” when they’re watching the film.

Steven Soderbergh – Explains Why R-rated “Magic Mike” Sequel Won’t Include Any Nudity
There are other ways to get the message of intimacy across without baring all, and that’s what the “Magic Mike” director, Steven Soderbergh, wants to achieve with the upcoming “Magic Mike’s Last Dance”. Soderbergh, 60, has been confirmed to return to the big screen stripper franchise as a director, but he wants to go a different direction from the previous movies. Channing Tatum will make a return as “Magic” Mike Lane, but he’ll be clothed at all times.
The film, though rated R, will not showcase nudity beyond shirtless dancers, but Soderbergh knows it still delivers on steaminess.
“To me, it’s about sexy. It’s not about the sex, per se, and whether the movie is explicit. There’s no nudity in [my 1998 film] Out of Sight. There’s no nudity in Magic Mike’s Last Dance. There’s not even a thong,” he told Rolling Stone. “And yet, it was our desire to make a sexy movie.

He added, “What’s sexy is intimacy and genuine emotion. Something that feels alive, and electric, and has the potential for vulnerability. That can be sexy. “You’re letting somebody inside your heart, and that’s scary. You can get hurt,” continued Soderbergh.
“The really radical thing to do right now, it seems to me, as opposed to showing the beginning of the relationship when there’s all this heat and light because of the attraction — that’s easy — is to show people who’ve been married for 20 years for whom that’s still true. Where you don’t even make a big deal of it. They’ve been together for 20 years, and they’re still into each other in that way.”
In February 2022, Tatum, 42, told Kelly Clarkson that he did not originally want to do the movie because he had to get his body fit for his stripping scenes. “That might be the reason why I didn’t want to do a third one,” Tatum joked when Clarkson showed him a ridiculously hot photo of him from the second movie in the franchise. “Because I have to look like that.”
So it’s a good thing he won’t be stripping then. For him, I mean. Be sure to catch up on everything happening with Channing Tatum right now. Come back here often for all Channing Tatum spoilers, news, and updates.
