'Magic Mike' Gets Supersized Sequel!
Written by Sarah Osman. Published: April 03 2014
If you enjoyed Channing Tatum shirtless and
shaking his goodies, then you’re in luck! Tatum, along with Matthew McConaughey and the beautiful boys of Magic Mike are getting
ready to strip down to their skivvies once more. Magic Mike has officially gotten a
sequel, and the title is simply delightful: Magic Mike XXL.
I have no idea what the title is in reference to, but I have a few
theories. Theory #1: The title is a subtle nod to the gentleman’s
own magic mikes (wink wink!). Theory #2: A new stipper joins the
group who is a much more prosperous gentleman. Theory #3: In the
sequel, Matthew McConaughey and Channing Tatum are cloned, hence
bringing twice the fun (literally!).
The actual screenplay of Magic Mike XXL is being penned by
Tatum himself and Reid Carolin, and neither one
has revealed any information regarding the storyline. However, Magic Mike XXL does have
a director. Steven Soderbergh’s go-to assistant
director Greg Jacobs will take the reins from
Soderbergh. Joe Manganiello, another one of the
sexy strippers from Magic
Mike, has mentioned that filming for the sequel is set to start
this fall. Hopefully this means Channing & Co. will be gracing our
screens in the summer of 2015!
Are you excited for Magic
Mike XXL? What do YOU
think the title could mean?
