Channing Tatum has been talking about what could be a sequel to his sleeper hit Magic Mike .
According to Yahoo News , Channing Tatum says that he’s working on a follow-up to the male-stripper fantasia Magic Mike , and says about the director rumored to be retiring:
“If he doesn’t come back, I don’t know how we’re going to do it without our leader. I’ll try to sucker him to coming in and at least DP-ing, get him in the room, at least.”
Magic Mike was one of last year’s sleeper hits, racking up over a hundred million dollars and generally pleasant reviews. In Magic Mike , Channing Tatum plays a stripper who wants to leave behind his decadent life for a more conservative one crafting custom high-end furniture. It was based in part on its star Channing Tatum’s own life experience.
As previously reported by The Inquisitr , Channing Tatum has admitted a “man crush” on Jude Law, adding dimension to his work as an exotic dancer.
Channing Tatum hinted at the possibility of a sequel to Magic Mike last July:
“We’re working on the concept now. We want to flip the script and make it bigger.”
Around the same time, co-star Joe Manganiello also said there was talk of a prequel.
According to Access Hollywood , Channing Tatum said:
“We are doing the Broadway version [of Magic Mike ].”
Channing Tatum has said that he isn’t planning any musicals anytime soon, though:
“I don’t think anybody wants to see me sing. Give me some time to work on it and then maybe.”
On doing a follow-up film for the boys of Xquisite in Florida, Channing Tatum adds:
“Hopefully we’re gonna go to Miami and do the whole thing.”
As previously reported by The Inquisitr , Channing Tatum is also planning to costar with Emma Stone in another sequel, Dumb & Dumber 2 .
