Channing Tatum knows how much people want to see Matthew McConaughey reprise his role as Dallas in. Tatum has already got the ball rolling on the third installment of the franchise -- but says there is still time for McConaughey to return.“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,’” the 41-year-old actor tells ET. “I mean, I’m not saying anything about mine or anyone else’s performances.

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 adds. In the original 2012 film, McConaughey played Dallas, the man responsible for the all-male revue where Tatum’s character, Magic Mike, showed off his dancing talents. While Tatum returned for the film’s follow-up,, McConaughey did not.
In November, Tatum revealed that he would be starring in the third and final film of the franchise, written by Reid Carolin and directed by Steven Soderbergh. Carolin and Soderbergh held the job's for the first film of the franchise.

Next month, Tatum is heading to London and Italy to begin filming. As for what fans can expect, “You’re getting 100 on this one,” he says.“Put it to you
