Magic Mike 2 XXL team is slowly giving us some hot revelations when it comes to the movie cast and plot (yes, as hot as its stripping scenes).
The latest headline linked to the sequel of the 2012 film is all about Joe Manganiello, also known as Big Dick Richie, practicing his sexy dance moves in front of girlfriend Sofia Vergara. Who else can give an honest opinion about it right?
"Well, you know, I need to practice getting ready for Magic Mike 2. So, that's all I have to say," he said during a recent interview with E!
When asked about how Magic Mike XXL is going to be like, the actor shared: "More of the guys. It's gonna be all of the guys, getting the band back together and we're gonna go hit the road and cause some mayhem. Some trouble,"
His tease was previously backed-up by Matt Bomer, playing the part of Ken, who said during his appearance on the Ellen DeGeneres show:
"It's legit and it's happening-and it's happening pretty soon,"
"My understanding is it's gonna start this fall," he added.
"And I think Channing announced recently that it's about... it's kind of a road trip film that leads to a stripper convention." (Via Entertainment Weekly).
In previous reports, Channing Tatum, who is currently writing the storyline of Magic Mike 2/XXL together with Reid Carolin, admitted that although he's very much excited to include a new plot twist, he cannot deny the fact that he has been struggling as well:
"We don't want to make it a serious, slice-of-life movie. We want reality in it, but we don't want to make it some dark drama. There was some darkness in the last one, and I think it surprised people and shocked people. This one, we want there to be a lot of conflict and struggle, but we also want a s***-ton of fun. Just ridiculous stuff that you would never see in a movie," he said.
The strip scenes of Channing Tatum, Matt Bomer, and Joe Manganiello are set to make a flash on the big screen once again next year, July 3.
But how about Matthew McConaughey and Alex Pettyfer?
As per Magic Mike star Gabriel Iglesias, Matthew might not be part of the sequel anymore. In an interview with the Dish Nation, he spilled "Word has it that Matthew's probably not gonna be involved in this one because he's worth a lot of money because of the whole Oscar thing."
Matthew recently bagged the Academy Awards Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role for the movie Dallas Buyers Club. "He's worth a lot of money...that whole Oscar thing, the nerve right?" Iglesias joked.
On the other hand, Alex Pettyfer who played the role of Adam, was allegedly fired by Channing due to his bad attitude on set. According to a source of OK! Magazine,"Alex is dying to reprise his role, but Channing is on the fence,"
"It's going to take a lot of sucking up for Alex to get his part back," he added.
Who are the possible replacements of Matthew and Alex? Watch out for more news about Magic Mike 2: XXL directed by Greg Jacobs.
