Ladies and gentlemen, hold onto your pants because a group of super buff men are about to take theirs off. Following on from the success of Steven Soderbergh’s Magic Mike, we know those gyrating men weren’t going to be away for long and lucky for us, they aren’t just coming back - they are going on tour. And for the love of God, aren’t we all spectacularly happy about that?
Magic Mike XXL sees Channing Tatum return as the titular character after three years away from the stripper industry making chairs. With the best male strippers in the country, Mike goes on a tour and headlines a stripper convention (because they exist and we all had no idea, trip anyone?) to discover who he is and who his family is. And by family, we mean the muscular bound pieces of man meat.
Thanks to Warner Brothers, we have some brand new footage from the ab-tastic sequel including two new clips and a featurette. This feels much more focused on Mike and his relationship with Jada Pinkett-Smith’s MC character. There is also a pretty funny moment where Channing Tatum’s Mike riles up the team for a performance. Though the reigns and baby oil is in the hands of Gregory Jacobs, it still looks like a lot of fun with some genuine heart.
Check out the clips now! Magic Mike XXL is out July 3rd.
