Channing Tatum knows what the fans want when it comes to the "Magic Mike" universe, and that includes seeing actor Matthew McConaughey return to reprise his role as Dallas in the upcoming third installment of the franchise, "Magic Mike's Last Dance." McConaughey's character was a big hit in the first film. However, the actor opted not to return for the sequel.
Recently, Tatum spoke to Entertainment Tonight about the possibility of McConaughey returning. However, it didn't sound promising. "I didn't know if Matthew would want to do it, he loves what he did in the first movie so much. He was like, 'I don't want to touch it,'" Tatum revealed. Tatum went on to gush over McConaughey's performance in the original film, revealing that he made the movie special.
"I mean, I'm not saying anything about mine or anyone else's performances. He was the star, he was the movie, it was special. I can't tell you how many times I had to watch the movie because of different edits Steven [Soderbergh] would do, and I would just fast forward to when he blew the fire, and I'm like, 'Yeah, he's a swan song,'" Tatum stated.
It remains to be seen if McConaughey will want to make a cameo in "Magic Mike's Last Dance." However, fans would love to see him return as Dallas one last time.
