"Magic Mike XXL" spoilers reveal bad news for the fans as Matthew McConaughey is not going to reprise his role as the owner of the strip club. Meanwhile, Sofia Vergara's boyfriend Joe Manganiello buffed up even more for the sequel.

After the movie, Matthew McConaughey went on to receive critical acclaim for his role as Rush Cohle in "True Detectives" and as Ron Woodroof in the "Dallas Buyers Club" which won for him an Oscar.

Director Gregory Jacobs dished "Magic Mike XXL" spoilers to Entertainment Weekly as he said that even without Matthew McConaughey, the film will stand on its own as it's going to be "very different" from the first movie.

"It's road trip movie and put it this way, it's different enough that once you see it you'll understand why we made a sequel. No one will be accusing us of making the same movie twice," he said.

Meanwhile, Sophia Vergara's boyfriend Joe Manganiello is gearing up for the sequel as he hit the gym hard.

The actor even tweeted a photo of himself pumping iron. He captioned the pic: "Getting ready for #MagicMikeXXL."

Trainer Ron Matthews shared the same picture as he wrote: "I am getting @JoeManganiello ready for #magicmike2, 2 weeks until he starts dancing. How do you think he is looking?"

Steven Soderberg will not be directing this time but he's still very much involved in the movie, said the "Magic Mike XXL" spoilers from Entertainment Weekly, citing an interview that Gregory Jacobs had for IndieWire where he said: "We're constantly suggesting stuff to each other. It's really intimate and collaborative and it always has been. So I think it'll be a lot of fun. We already shot some second unit stuff which was a total blast. I think it's going to be a good time."
