Magic Mike XXL is directed by Gregory Jacobs (Wind Chill, Criminal) and stars Channing Tatum (Jump Street Series, Jupiter Ascending), Matt Bomer (White Collar, In Time), Kevin Nash (John Wick, The Longest Yard), Joe Manganiello (Spider-Man, Sabotage), Adam Rodriguez (The Night Shift, Reckless), Jada Pinkett Smith (Collateral, Scream 2), Elizabeth Banks (The Hunger Games, Pitch Perfect) and Donald Glover (Community, The Lazarus Effect). 'Three years after Mike bowed out of the stripper life at the top of his game, he and the remaining Kings of Tampa hit the road to Myrtle Beach to put on one last blow-out performance'. Can Magic Mike be a hit the second time in a row or was it just a one night fling? Was this sequel really necessary?
