What is the difference between Magic Mike and Magic Mike XXL? ›

While the first Magic Mike was aimed at humanizing male performers and exploring the constraints that they faced, Magic Mike XXL allows them to indulge in their fantasies in a joyous, non-toxic way.

On September 30, the shooting took place on Tybee Island. Filming took place October 23–25 in Savannah, Georgia, where more than 900 women extras were used, 300–900 each day for Convention scenes. Filming officially wrapped on November 5, 2014 with a final sequence filmed on the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk, South Carolina.

The group's performance is a success. During Mike and Malik's performance, Mike brings Zoe on stage. The film ends in celebration, Tobias returning with the Fro-Yo van and everyone watching the 4th of July fireworks.

But she was not seen in the sequel. So the answer to the question - Is Mike still with Brooke in Magic Mike XXL? - is a big no. In an interview with Vanity Fair, Cody Horn who played the role of Brooke confirmed that she was not in it because "there's no room for a girlfriend in [the sequel]".

It was reported McConaughey didn't return for Magic Mike XXL due to a scheduling conflict. For Magic Mike's Last Dance, Tatum said he “didn't know if Matthew would want to do it” because McConaughey didn't want to ruin the magic of the first film.

The subject and the lead actor involved — Channing Tatum — have women worldwide drooling all over themselves and pushing each other in line to see who can get to the best seat the fastest. And there I sit mid-movie, pondering the meaning of XXL. In clothing terms, XXL is extra, extra large.

Matthew McConaughey's stripping days are behind him. The Oscar winner's publicist told TheWrap that he will not return for the “Magic Mike” sequel, because his schedule did not permit due to his involvement in Gus Van Sant's upcoming drama “Sea of Trees.”

Perhaps less conventional than some of the classically trained here, Channing Tatum is no less of a dancer. Before he hit it big, Tatum worked as a stripper at a local night club. Look closely and you'll spot him performing as a backup dancer in the music video for “She Bangs” by Ricky Martin.

Actors climbed in a Rolls Royce to shoot a quick scene showing them arriving at the Boardwalk Beach Resort. Extras chosen on Monday braved the chilly weather, needing to wear bathing suits, shorts, skirts and tank-tops to give the illusion it was the 4th of July weekend, for their 15 minutes of fame.

Tatum was reportedly paid $2 million upfront to star in the film. However, because of his financial stake in the film, it has been estimated Tatum earned as much as $60 million from the film's success, though the actor has disputed this amount.

Like the original, the sequel features lots of scenes of men stripping, dancing provocatively, mimicking sexual positions and movements, and wearing nothing but tight thongs that leave little to the imagination.

When it was time to do the sequel, Tatum remembered that Bomer once sang for the extras, and made sure that his co-star recreated the magic not once but TWICE in "Magic Mike XXL" -- and both times, he had to perform live. "It was an incredible gift that Channing gave me, and also really terrifying!" Bomer said.

The 28-year-old Zombieland actress definitely got an eyeful of the hunk as she shot a flirtatious look at the 34-year-old while filming a scene at an ice cream parlour.

Magic Mike XXL / Prequel

Magic Mike XXL is an odd sequel for me. On one hand, the film does a lot right that improves upon the faults of its predecessor. The supporting characters are a lot stronger, the acting is overall better, and the ending feels far more satisfying.
