With less than two months on the clock before Channing Tatum returns to the stage, Warner Bros. have launched a new trailer for the comedy-drama sequel, Magic Mike XXL.
Tatum is surrounded by familiar faces, with one notable absence: Matthew McConaughey. McConaughey’s Dallas isn’t coming back for the sequel, but there’s still plenty to look forward to here.
Picking up the story three years after Mike bowed out of the stripper life at the top of his game, the film finds the remaining Kings of Tampa likewise ready to throw in the towel. But they want to do it their way: burning down the house in one last blowout performance in Myrtle Beach, and with legendary headliner Magic Mike sharing the spotlight with them. On the road to their final show, with whistle stops in Jacksonville and Savannah to renew old acquaintances and make new friends, Mike and the guys learn some new moves and shake off the past in surprising ways.
Tatum is joined by returning stars Matt Bomer, Joe Manganiello, Adam Rodriguez, Gabriel Iglesias, and Kevin Nash. Elizabeth Banks, Amber Heard, Andie MacDowell, Jada Pinkett Smith, Donald Glover, and Michael Strahan lead the new line-up.
Gregory Jacobs is behind the camera this time, with Tatum co-writing the script with frequent collaborator Reid Carolin (Magic Mike).
Magic Mike XXL will be released in the US on 1st July and the UK on 3rd July.
