A quick update on the Magic Mike musical from Channing Tatum, plus a new poster for Magic Mike XXL...
NewsPlans remain live for a Broadway production based on the hit movie Magic Mike, and Channing Tatum has given an update on the project. In a piece with Entertainment Weekly, the actor-producer confirmed that "we're getting it going," acknowledging the link between the upcoming Magic Mike XXL and the musical project.
"Oddly enough, the second one lends itself more to the musical. I think our original idea was to do a prequel, like how Mike got in", he revealed.
Tatum hinted to EW that he's unlikely to star in the Broadway production earlier in the year - "if it's a musical, I'd need a lot of singing classes. I think there's probably people who are better at it then I am" - but he is involved. As is original director Steven Soderbergh and writer Reid Carolin.
Also, there's a new poster for Magic Mike XXL that's landed too. You can find that below these words...
Magic Mike XXL is released in July.
