Olivia Munn joins the cast of Magic Mike
Remember those old rumors of Olivia Munn having a major role in Iron Man 2? Like as The Wasp or something? Well those obviously didn't pan out, but her career since leaving Attack of the Show has gone pretty well. She also had a minor role as an irritating hostess in Date Night, but it looks like she may be in for her biggest part yet.
Deadline reports she'll be playing the love interest of Channing Tatum's character in Magic Mike, the film based in part on his early career as a male dancer. Steven Soderbergh is directing, based on a script by Reid Carolin. Tatum will play a veteran stripper who takes a young upstart(Alex Pettyfer) under his wing. Matthew McConaughey, Matt Bomer, Joe Manganiello also play dancers in a club Xquisite. Riley Keough, Cody Horn and Gabriel Igelsias co-star.
Munn will be seen next in that dreadful Sara Jessica Parker comedy, I Don't Know How She Does It, due out on September 16th.
