Salma Hayek gets her hands on Channing Tatum’s chiseled abs in teaser for Magic Mike’s Last Dance

Salma Hayek was featured in a teaser for Magic Mike’s Last Dance, which was released Friday on Channing Tatum’s official Instagram account.

In the photo, the 56-year-old performer placed her hand on her 42-year-old costar’s impeccably shaped abs in what appeared to be a tender moment.

Tatum wrote a short message in the caption of her post that read, “All good things begin in Miami. #MagicMikesLastDance in theaters Valentine’s weekend.’

The development of Magic Mike’s Last Dance was initially confirmed last November.

The first Magic Mike movie, directed by Steven Soderbergh and starring Matthew McConaughey and Joe Manganiello, premiered in 2012.

The film was met with critical acclaim and performed well at the box office.

A sequel, titled Magic Mike XXL, was subsequently released to the public in 2015.

The film received generally positive critical reactions and was also a hit with audiences.

A television series, Finding Magic Mike, debuted last year and was followed by the Magic Mike Live show, which premiered in Las Vegas.

Soderbergh then spoke to Deadline and told media that watching the show inspired him to get back to work on a third installment in the film series.

“As soon as I saw what Channing, Reid and the Magic Mike choreography team were doing with the live show, I said, ‘We have to make another movie.’ Mike Lane’s dream of connecting people through dance must be realized,” he said.

Tatum also released a statement expressing his enthusiasm for the new project.

“There are no words for how excited I am to blow up the doors of Magic Mike’s world with Steven, Greg, Reid and the amazing people at HBO Max. The stripperverse will never be the same again,” he declared.

Thandiwe Newton was originally cast in an unspecified role, although she was later replaced by Hayek.

The sun then revealed that the actress had left the project after an alleged on-set fight with Tatum.

According to the media, the former costars exploded over their views on Will Smith’s Oscars blow.

Sources stated that 11 days worth of scenes had to be re-shot due to the actress’s abrupt departure from the project.

The lead actor is said to have returned to the United States after the altercation, and Newton’s role was soon recast.

Magic Mike’s Last Dance is currently premiering on February 10, 2023.
