Matthew McConaughey NOT Returing In Magic Mike XXL!!!

Sorry ladies, the hunky Texan native better known as Dallas aka Matthew McConaughey NOT Returing In Magic Mike XXL.

CelebNMusic247.com is reporting on the change ups for the upcoming sequel Magic Mike XXL since Matthew McConaughey, will NOT reprise his role as Dallas. Instead, director Gregory Jacobs is taking the movie in another direction in which former True Blood actor Joe Manganiello hopes will not detract from what made the first movie as hugely popular as it proved to be.

Matthew McConaughey’s character will be replaced by three new characters played by Amber Heard, Jada Pinkett Smith and Andie MacDowell which will hopefully add to the films original integrity. The changes will hopefully help the Magic Mike franchise continue its magical ability to attract audiences into movie theaters to see Magic Mike XXL.

Here is what we are hearing from GuardianLV who explains the change up despite Channing Tatum saying to a reporter from MTV earlier in 2014 that he thought that the entire cast of Magic Mike (2012) would be returning for the sequel, Magic Mike XXL.

(Warner Brothers), at this moment, it does not look like Matthew McConaughey will be returning to play strip club owner, Dallas. Director Gregory Jacobs has verified that McConaughey will not be reprising his role in the much-anticipated sequel in which the male strippers will be hitting the road on a tour of America.

Steven Soderbergh directed Magic Mike. Gregory Jacobs, his longtime assistant, appears set to place his own mark on the Magic Mike franchise with Magic Mike XXL, which means that there will not be a return of Matthew McConaughey as the owner of the strip club. Jacobs recently confirmed this news in an interview with Indiewire.

Fans of Matthew McConaughey might be depressed by this news, but viewers of Magic Mike should recall that Channing Tatum’s character leaves behind the strip club at the end of the movie, as well as the Adam and Xquisite strip clubs. Taking the main strippers from Magic Mike on the road seemed like the logical way to take the story forward to Jacobs, who has stated that nobody will be able to accuse everybody involved “of making the same movie twice.”

Joe Manganiello, Alex Pettyfer and Matt Bomer, besides Channing Tatum, will also be reprising their roles in Magic Mike XXL, which is expected to be in theaters on July 1, 2015.
