Thandiwe Newton will no longer star alongside Channing Tatum in the forthcoming Magic Mike’s Last Dance. But she denies that her exit was the result of an alleged argument with Tatum, who stars in and produces the film. (Vanity Fair has reached out to Newton’s and Tatum’s reps for comment.)
On Wednesday, it was announced that Salma Hayek would replace Newton in the third Magic Mike installment as the new female lead. A Warner Bros. spokesperson released the following statement to Variety: “Thandiwe Newton has made the difficult decision to step away from the production of Warner Bros. Pictures’ Magic Mike’s Last Dance to deal with family matters.” Newton’s spokesperson refuted a report from The Sun that alleged discord between Newton and Tatum, telling the Daily Mail’s MailOnline, “This report is completely inaccurate.”
Earlier that day, The Sun reported that an argument became “unimaginably vicious” between Newton and Tatum last week, which reportedly hit “astonishing” levels before he drove away from set. “They fell out over the debacle at the Oscars,” a crew member claimed, seemingly referring to Will Smith’s onstage slap of Chris Rock. The source added, “It was a tense exchange of words, but suddenly it escalated—Channing got into this car and he disappeared.”
Filming on the third Magic Mike film reportedly halted after 11 days. The source claimed that in the conflict’s aftermath, Tatum said, “I am not working with her anymore.”
The Sun didn’t clarify whose side of the Oscars slap Newton and Tatum took in their alleged disagreement. However, there are some ties between the Smiths and both parties. Newton costarred with Will in 2006’s The Pursuit of Happyness and Jada Pinkett Smith appeared alongside Tatum in 2015’s Magic Mike XXL. Zoë Kravitz, who has been linked to Tatum since last summer, previously shared her opinion on the incident, captioning an Instagram of herself on the Oscars red carpet with the following: “here’s a picture of my dress at the award show where we are apparently assaulting people on stage now.” She then posted a photo of herself at the Vanity Fair Oscar party, writing, “and here is a picture of my dress at the party after the award show -where we are apparently screaming profanities and assaulting people on stage now.” Both of Kravitz’s posts have since been deleted.
