''Magic Mike's Last Dance'' is a 2023 {{romantic comedy}} written by Reid Carolin and directed by Creator/StevenSoderbergh. It is the third and final installment in the ''Film/MagicMike'' franchise, once again starring Creator/ChanningTatum in the titular role of "Magic" Mike.
After losing his furniture business during the UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic, Mike (Tatum) is working as a bartender for a catering company to make ends meet. When an old patron of his recognizes him on the job and recommends his "services" to her boss, wealthy socialite Maxandra "Max" Mendoza (Creator/SalmaHayekPinault), the two form an unlikely bond that has him coming out of retirement to direct a male striptease production for her in UsefulNotes/{{London}}. As the pressure rises to deliver a quality product, their simmering attraction to one another and various external forces threaten to ruin his show before it even premieres.
Also appearing in the film are Ayub Khan Din, Jemelia George, and Juliette Motamed, while Creator/JoeManganiello, Creator/MattBomer, Wrestling/KevinNash, and Creator/AdamRodriguez reprise their roles from previous films in a brief cameos.
''Magic Mike's Last Dance'' was released on February 10, 2023. Originally slated to premiere as a streaming exclusive for Creator/HBOMax, positive test screenings led Creator/WarnerBros to plan a wide theatrical release instead. It is intended to be the final installment of the Mike-focused movie series, but Soderbergh has teased the potential for spinoffs following other characters in the franchise.
----
!! ''Magic Mike's Last Tropes:''
* AdoptionAngst: Max's daughter Zadie has conflicted feelings over her status as an adopted child.
* TheBusCameBack / SmallRoleBigImpact: Kim, a bridesmaid in the first film enjoying Mike's services, briefly returns and essentially moves the plot into being.
** A meta example with Steven Soderberg, who returns as director after not helming ''XXL''.
* TheCameo: Creator/JoeManganiello, Creator/MattBomer, Wrestling/KevinNash, and Creator/AdamRodriguez appear ({{uncredited|role}}) in just one scene of the film, talking with Mike over a video call while he's in London.
* CharacterTitle: Once again features Mike's name in the title.
* ContrastingSequelSetting: ''Last Dance'' moves the action from UsefulNotes/{{Florida}} and the southern United States to UsefulNotes/{{London}}, contrasting the seedy atmosphere of the first two films to the stuffy, conservative nature of this one.
* LastGirlWins: [[spoiler:The movie ends with the implication that Mike has finally found his match in Max, and the two seemingly commit to a relationship with one another]].
* LighterAndSofter: More so compared to the original film than ''XXL'', but the tone of ''Last Dance'' is less overtly sexual or saucy than either of them, focusing on the brewing romantic relationship between Mike and Max. It's tonally more in line with ''Film/PrettyWoman'' by way of ''Film/StayingAlive'' than anything else.
* MayDecemberRomance: Downplayed as Channing Tatum and Salma Hayek Pinault are only fourteen years apart in age, but their relationship still has the vibe of an older woman falling for a younger man to the point where several characters remark on its novelty. It's also implied that Richie and Nancy may still be in some sort of relationship with one another after the events of the past film, with him possibly living with her now.
* MealTicket: Subverted. Max is quite wealthy through her marriage, much more so than Mike, but she ends the film [[spoiler:essentially giving up her wealth to be with Mike]].
* MerchandiseDriven: A rare non-cartoon, non-toy example. ''Last Dance'' partially exists to promote the live stage show running in UsefulNotes/LasVegas, London, and touring throughout the United States, and even features many of the dancers appearing in the actual productions.
* OffscreenBreakup: Much like ''XXL'', ''Last Dance'' begins with Mike not currently in a relationship, with no explanation given for his and Zoe's breakup. This works to establish the stakes of Mike's relationship with Max, continuing his character arc of being unlucky in love as he starts getting older and would perhaps like to settle down with someone.
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: Mike is often accused of this in regards to his working (and romantic) relationship with Max.
* StoppedNumberingSequels: Subverted. The previous film, ''XXL'', ''technically'' has a number in its title, but not one reflecting its order in the franchise. This one drops any sort of numbering in the name.
* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Much like how ''XXL'' established Mike's financial difficulty in keeping his business without a side hustle to help support it, ''Last Dance'' reiterates the idea by revealing he's since lost it because of the UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic, which was true of many small business in real life as well.
* TheVoiceless: Contrasting with the prior two films, none of the dancers in Mike's show ever speak in a substantial way or are even given names onscreen.
* WiseBeyondTheirYears: Max's daughter Zadie comes across as this, with her often coming across as the more responsible one of the two.
