Matthew McConaughey may not be a part of Magic Mike sequel

While the plans claimed the next Magic Mike instalment is going bigger, we hear actor Matthew McConaughey is unlikely to be a part of it. Actor Gabriel Iglesias who was a part of the franchise opener said Matthew’s confirmation is highly unlikely.

The sequel that is apparently titled “Magic Mike XXL” is ready to kick off but without Matthew McConaughey who played a significant role of Mike’s (Channing Tatum) boss and a former stripper in the movie. Iglesias almost confirming Matthew’s avoidance for the project said "All they`re telling me -- because they haven`t shown me the whole script yet -- is that they`re taking the show on the road... So something tells me it`s not going to be shot in Florida like the last one. Word has it Matthew is probably not going to be involved in this one.”

The 2012 American Drama Comedy, Magic Mike was directed by Steven Soderbergh and starred Channing Tatum, Alex Pettyfer, Matt Bomer, Joe Manganiello and Matthew McConaughey in prominent roles. The director of Magic Mike XXL is undecided but Tatum was reportedly up for the job. The film is slated for release in July 2015.
