New MAGIC MIKE XXL Trailer Turns Up The Heat
When you have a movie like Magic Mike XXL, it's not surprising that the marketing team would embrace sexually charged puns in order to sell this film. While the first movie was actually more about drama than dancing, this one looks to be giving audiences exactly what they wanted the first time around: shirtless dudes with insanely chiseled bodies grinding around on stage. I respect the first movie more than I enjoyed it (McConaughey, who won't appear in this sequel, was a highlight), but this one admittedly looks like it could be fun.
Greg Jacobs is stepping in for Steven Soderbergh as the director this time around. Channing Tatum, Matt Bomer, Joe Manganiello, Kevin Nash, Adam Rodriguez, Gabriel Iglesias, Donald Glover, Jada Pinkett Smith, and Elizabeth Banks star. Magic Mike XXL opens in theaters on July 1st.
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.
