The director of Magic Mike’s Last Dance, Steven Soderbergh, defended the trilogy’s lack of nudity.

Critics’ reactions to Soderberg’s final entry in the Magic Mike series have been conflicted. Currently, the movie has a 57% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

During an interview with Rolling Stone, the filmmaker said, “To me, it’s about ****,” adding, “It’s not about the ***, per se, and whether the movie is explicit. There’s no nudity in ‘Out of Sight.’ There’s no nudity in ‘Magic Mike’s Last Dance.’ There’s not even a thong. And yet, it was our desire to make a **** movie.”

“What’s sexy is intimacy and genuine emotion. Something that feels alive and electric, and has the potential for vulnerability. That can be ****,” Soderbergh added.

The plot of the Channing Tatum and Salma Hayek-starring movie centres on the two actors’ attempts to stage a masculine revue at a London theatre.
