Matt Bomer, Joe Manganiello, Kevin Nash and Channing Tatum will all be reprising their male stripping roles though!
Any excited fans that thought they were going to see a shirtless Matthew McConaughey in the upcoming 'Magic Mike' sequel will be extremely disappointed to learn the 45 year-old actor will not be reprising his role as a Tampa, Florida, strip club owner called Dallas.
McConaughey will not be starring the the 'Magic Mike' sequel
On Wednesday (Sept 17th), the director of 'Magic Mike XXL' Gregory Jacobs gave an interview to IndieWire and confirmed that McConaughey will not be returning to the male stripper flick, but didn't give a reason for his absence. He only revealed that fans can expect the sequel to be "very different."
"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," Gregory explained.
