Channing Tatum is giving us fans what we want in Magic Mike XXL. In a recent interview with TIME, the co-writer, producer, and star of the upcoming sequel expressed that it’s not only “a lot more fun” than the first, but they got “Joe Manganiello naked as much as possible.
Everyone in the world: you’re welcome,” Tatum says. THANK YOU!!!
Tatum also says his co-stars were a huge factor in deciding to move forward with a sequel. “Those guys are so much fun — they’re the whole reason why I wanted to make a second one. They were a discovery for me,” he says. While the first film featured the dark side of the stripping world, he says we’ll be seeing “a lot of ridiculous nakedness and stupidity” in the second.
The premiere date July 1, 2015. I’ve started my countdown. It is 224 days from today!
