The ladies just can't get enough of Channing Tatum stripping on the big screen.

The hot actor will be back to reprise his role in "Magic Mike 2." The actor who is also co-writing the sequel has promised more laughs and hilarious moments in the new movie.

"Magic Mike 2" will reportedly have a lighter feel than the first one. As ET Online reports, the movie will "ditch the overly dark vibes from the original, and will instead feature a lot more hijinks, hilarious moments, and plenty of laughs."

Aside from front act Channing Tatum stripping in the next sequel, Matt Bomer and Joe Manganiello have also confirmed their stripper return for "Magic Mike 2."

However, there's still no news about Matthew McConaughey and Alex Pettyfer. It has been rumored that McConaughey might not return given the plot of the sequel- on the road for a stripper convention.

Pettyfer on the other hand, might not get to return because of the conflict he has with co-star Channing Tatum.

"Alex is dying to reprise his role, but Channing is on the fence," a source told OK! Magazine. "It's going to take a lot of sucking up for Alex to get his part back."

The source also added that Tatum found his 24-year-old co-star to be too cocky and difficult to work with.

"Those around them tried to mend their relationship, but Channing doesn't want anything to do with Alex," a source said at the time. "Channing said he didn't want to do [the shoot] if Alex was there. Alex is known in Hollywood for being rude and difficult."

New reports claim that a particular regular in the "Step-Up" movie will be casted as Alex Pettyfer's replacement in Channing Tatum's stripping sequel "Magic Mike 2." Adam Sevani who plays Moose in four "Step-Up" movies could be the next stripper protégé in the upcoming sequel.

In an interview with Vulture, Sevani opened up about the possibility of joining the "Magic Mike 2" cast.

"Yeah sure!" he said. "I'd have to beef up and gain some muscle and that's no problem, but I haven't seen Magic Mike."

"Magic Mike 2" will hit theaters on July 3, 2015.
