The actor Thandiwe Newton has denied reports that she was fired from the new Magic Mike film after an argument over Will Smith with co-star Channing Tatum.
Representatives for the actor called reports that she had been fired by Tatum, who is also a producer on the film, “completely inaccurate”.
Newton has said that she left the film after 11 days of shooting in London of her own volition.
A lucrative stage spin-off, Magic Mike Live, has had shows in Las Vegas, London, Berlin and Australia.
