The press release announcing this news doesn’t have much information in terms of plot, but it does say that seeing what Tatum, Carolin, and the choreographers had put together for the Magic Mike Live show (going on tour next year!) convinced Soderbergh to make another movie.
Tatum also put out a statement saying that he’s going to “blow the doors off of the world of Magic Mike” with HBO Max and this new project, adding “the stripperverse will never be the same.” Is that a hint that this will finally introduce the Magic Mike multiverse?
