MAGIC MIKE: XXL Flexes its Muscles in First Trailer The first MAGIC MIKE: XXL trailer is just a few seconds long, but a few things get crystal clear about Channing Tatum: He can dance, he is ripped, and he is as as sexy as he is charming. In other words, the perfect demo reel to open all doors in Hollywood. The sequel, directed by Gregory Jacobs, also stars Matt Bomer, Joe Manganiello, Kevin Nash, Adam Rodriguez, Gabriel Iglesias, Amber Heard, Donald Glover, Michael Strahan, Elizabeth Banks, with Andie MacDowell, and Jada Pinkett Smith. MAGIC MIKE: XXL starts the show in theaters on July 1. Picking up the story three years after Mike (Channing Tatum) 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.
