Back in February, Channing Tatum tweeted a picture of himself writing what appeared to be Magic Mike 2. According to The Playlist, the sequel, co-written by Channing Tatum and Reid Carolin, has a director and a juicy title.
“Mike Mike XXL” will be directed by Steven Soderbergh’s go-to assistant director Greg Jacobs.
The only information surrounding the sequel is a rouge start date — which “Magic Mike” co-star Joe Manganiello claims is sometime this fall.
There is no word if recent Academy Award winner Matthew McConaughey will reprise his role as Dallas, the leader of the Xquisite Strip Club performers, but hopefully he will.
The original “Magic Mike” ended with Dallas and the boys packing up and heading off to sunny Miami, leaving Mike behind to follow his dream and get some breakfast with Cody Horn.
If filming goes as Manganiello expects, “Magic Mike XXL” should be grinding into theaters sometime in summer 2015.
