Magic Mikeis adding some fresh faces to his dance troupe.
“It’s going to be a new crop of guys and so you’re going to be introduced to some new faces and fall in love with some new people,” saysMagic Mikeactor andFinding Magic Mikementor Adam Rodriguez. “They’re going to put out a great movie, I know that for sure. And outside of that, I don’t know much more. [There is] an outside chance you might see some of the old guys briefly, but I wouldn’t count on it. I know that they’re not going to disappoint.”
Choreographers Alison Faulk and Luke Broadlick, who are working onLast Dance, choreographed the first two films and are currently starring as mentors/choreographers onHBO Max’sFinding Magic Mike. Speaking with PEOPLE, the pair promises another good time for fans of the franchise.“We can’t say much other than that the script is really good,” says Faulk. “And we’re so excited and pumped. It’s such a gift to be involved with this franchise at all. And then second of all, to be doing another film, we never thought that was going to happen. So we’re super pumped and excited and can’t wait.”
Adds Broadlick: “Yeah, it’s going to be great!”
Rodriguez, who played Tito in the first two movies, says he’ll always hold the experience makingMagic MikeandMagic Mike XXLdear to his heart, and hopes to one day share them with his kids (daughters, Georgie, 7, Frankie, 4, and son Bridgemont, 21 months, with wife Grace) when they’re old enough.
“I am so happy to have been involved in all of these,” he says. “[My kids] know Channing, they know [writer Reid Carolin], they know Kevin [Nash]. They see those people often enough that when the time comes and they actually do see the movies, I think they’re going to have a good laugh.““Chan’s girl, Evie is just a little bit older than my oldest,” Rodriguez continues. “Maybe they’ll sit and watch it together and have a laugh, but I do look forward to them seeing it because it’s been such a great experience for me as an actor and as a person and the friendships that were formed that I’m so proud of having had the chance to be involved in this.”
The third movie will premiere exclusively on HBO Max, with Gregory Jacobs, who directed 2015’sMagic Mike XXL, producing with Carolin, Nick Wechsler and Peter Kiernan.
