Channing Tatum... Could It Be True? 'Magic Mike 2'?!

According to an interview with Glamour U.K., Channing Tatum says that after the wicked success of Magic Mike, a sequel is in the works. Jezebel reports that a month ago, Tatum was saying, "This will be my swan song, I will never do or talk anything about stripping after this ever, ever again."

But that was, of course, before Magic Mike cleared $77 million at the box office in less than two weeks (it cost $7 million to make). Now, he says that director Steven Soderbergh is on board for a sequel: "Yes, yes and yes! We're working on the concept now. We want to flip the script and make it bigger."

Um, bigger? Why, what do you mean, Channing? Let's hope that Joe Manganiello is on board, along with Matthew McConaughey (who's pretty integral to the plot). And maybe... just maybe, William Levy can make up for his previous sin of turning down a role in the smash flick. Bigger and better, indeed. Ooh la la! *

Oh Gosh, I would die with William Levy in the sequel, if there does in fact turn out to be one!! His Telenovela, Sortilegio, is being re-aired on the Univision network starting July 30th and rumor has it that it'll be aired with English subtitles for all of his english speaking fans ;-)
