MAGIC MIKE was a firm favourite here at THN when it was first released a couple of years back (read Joe Upton’s original review here), and we’re very excited to see what the filmmakers have done with the second movie, MAGIC MIKE XXL, which hits in July.
[quote_box_center]Picking up the story three years after Mike bowed out of the stripper life at the top of his game, “Magic Mike XXL” finds the remaining Kings of Tampa likewise ready to throw in the towel. But they want to do it their way: burning down the house in one last blow-out performance in Myrtle Beach, and with legendary headliner Magic Mike sharing the spotlight with them. On the road to their final show, with whistle stops in Jacksonville and Savannah to renew old acquaintances and make new friends, Mike and the guys learn some new moves and shake off the past in surprising ways.[/quote_box_center]
Gregory Jacobs directs this time around, taking over helming duties from Steven Soderbergh, who still exec. produces. Channing Tatum, Joe Manganiello, Matt Bomer, Adam Rodriguez, and Kevin Nash all line up to drop their clothes for money.
Watch the new trailer for the film below. MAGIC MIKE XXL opens on the 1st July.
