With an entirely new setting, Magic Mike: The Last Dance brings brand-new locations to the franchise: here are all the locations in the third Magic Mike explained. Magic Mike: The Last Dance is the third installment in the Magic Mike franchise that sees Channing Tatum returning to his iconic role of Mike Lane. The film sees Mike meeting the wealthy socialite, Max, who convinces him to fly with her to London where the couple will work on a show featuring male strippers together. This changes the Magic Mike setting from Tampa, Florida, where the previous two Magic Mike films are set.
Magic Mike: The Last Dance showcases its new location by setting multiple scenes in various parts of the British capital. Many of these are touristic and well-known places that have become synonymous with London itself. In fact, after the opening scene of the film, most of Magic Mike: The Last Dance's setting is in different areas of London, many of which the audience may be familiar with. Most of the locations seen in Magic Mike: The Last Dance are pricier or well-off areas of the city, which perhaps reflect Max's social status and wealth.
Clapham, London
Much of the film revolves around the theater show Mike and Max are setting up. Therefore, it seems reasonable that Magic Mike: The Last Dance would be largely set in a theater. What may be more surprising, however, is that the Rattigan, the theater Max owns in the film, is purely fictional. The real-life Magic Mike: The Last Dance theater is actually in Clapham, in southwest London. In fact, the filming location is the Clapham Grand, a refurbished Victorian musical hall that is known to host events such as comedy and weekly club nights in London.
St. Pancras International Train Station, London
Much of the Magic Mike: The Last Dance cast is new to the franchise. Some notable examples are the dancers, such as the Italian dancer Sebastian Melo Taveira, who most notably meets Max and Mike in a scene filmed in St. Pancras International train station when he arrives from Italy. This is one of the most iconic London locations featured in the film. In fact, St. Pancras International is present in Magic Mike: The Last Dance twice, as it is also the setting of an argument between Max and Mike when the latter first meets Zadie, Max's daughter.
Piccadilly Circus, London
Of course, no film set in London would be really complete without a scene set in Piccadilly Circus. Magic Mike: The Last Dance features various scenes with Max and Mike in which they are looking for dancers. This is one of the most famous locations the movie features and is where Max and Mike find some talented dancers in Magic Mike: The Last Dance. Interestingly enough, not only do people actually dance in Piccadilly Circus in London, as the area hosts a number of event spaces and theaters, but it is also near the theater where the real-life Magic Mike live show takes place in London.
Amazonico Restaurant, London
Pricey and glamorous restaurants also comprise some of the more well-known spots in London, particularly the exclusive kind that would be available to someone like Max. In Magic Mike: The Last Dance, Max and Mike go out to dinner to meet Max's friends at the restaurant Amazonico, an exclusive rain-forest-themed restaurant in London that specializes in sushi and Latin American food. It may be surprising for the audience to know that not only does the Amazonico restaurant actually exist in London, but that all the scenes set in the restaurant in Magic Mike: The Last Dance were filmed in the actual restaurant.
Various London Landmarks
While Magic Mike's Last Dance dance sequences are certainly one of the most memorable aspects of the film, Magic Mike's Last Dance filming locations are also notable and significant. In fact, the list does not stop here as Magic Mike's Last Dance features multiple London landmarks throughout the movie. When Max and Mike arrive in London, Magic Mike's Last Dance shows a montage featuring some of the most iconic London landmarks, such as the London Eye, Big Ben, and Buckingham Palace. Later on in the film, Royal Albert Hall and Westminster City Hall are also featured.
