Tatumchatted with PEOPLEin this week’s issue about his directorial debutDog, and also opened up about what fans can expect fromMagic Mike’s Last Dance.
“I want it to be the Super Bowl of stripping,” said Tatum. “I want dancing like we’ve never been able to do in the other two movies, because we had to be honest to what the reality of that world is, which isn’t great dancing.”
In addition to featuring professional dancers, Tatum said it is important forMagicMike’s Last Danceto have a well-written, lead female character as well.
“I want to have an equal, if not even more centralized female character for Mike to really play off of and almost to,” he explained to PEOPLE. “I don’t want to say, [to have her] take the baton, but really let the movie be about a female’s experience and not Mike’s experience, because it has been so much about Mike and the guys' experiences. These movies are very, very female-forward. At least that is our intention.”
