Channing Tatum is Back on the Grind in First 'Magic Mike XXL' Trailer
Deep breath, ladies (and some dudes, I'm sure), Channing Tatum and the boys are back on the grind with Magic Mike XXL, and after that tantalizing teaser poster yesterday the first trailer has been revealed. Not everybody's returning for this one as you won't find Matthew McConaughey's Dallas or Alex Pettyfer's "The Kid" (did anybody like him, anyway?), but Matt Bomer, Adam Rodriguez, Joe Manganiello, Gabriel Iglesias, and Kevin Nash are ready to hit the stage once more.
This one finds the crew on a road trip to Myrtle Beach for one final blowout, and it looks like they'll be hitting every chance along the way to strut their stuff. Tatum and Reid Carolin wrote the screenplay with Greg Jacobs taking over as director for what looks like more of a buddy comedy than the semi-serious dramedy from before. There's not even a hint of subtlety about this one....it basically starts off with Tatum shooting sparks out of his genitals....and that's probably what fans of the first movie are clamoring for. Subtlety be damned. Frankly I'm just surprised at how well he's able to move after all these years. It's like he's still a young kid making Step Up movies.
Also starring Jada Pinkett Smith, Amber Heard, Michael Strahan, Andie MacDowell, Elizabeth Banks, and Donald Glover, Magic Mike XXL opens July 1st. Check out a couple of new photos courtesy of People Magazine, also.
