Elizabeth Banks, Michael Strahan, and Donald Glover Join ‘Magic Mike XXL’ Cast

Warner Bros. released an official synopsis and cast list for the Magic Mike sequel, Magic Mike XXL, which revealed that Elizabeth Banks, Donald Glover, and Michael Strahan have signed on to appear in the film. Strahan also made the announcement during Live with Kelly and Michael Monday morning.

“I’m getting ready to do something that’s making me nervous,” Strahan said. “I’m about to do something that started as a joke on the show.”

Channing Tatum penned the film alongside Reid Carolin. Tatum will be reprising his role as the title character, and Matt Bomer, Joe Manganiello, Alex Pettyfer and Gabriel Iglesias will also be returning. Amber Heard, Andie MacDowell, and Jada Pinkett Smith were previously announced to have joined the cast.

Warner Bros. also shared some details about the plot of the film:

Picking up the story three years after Mike bowed out of the stripper life at the top of his game, the film finds the remaining Kings of Tampa likewise ready to throw in the towel. But they want to do it their way: burning down the house in one last blowout performance in Myrtle Beach, and with legendary headliner Magic Mike sharing the spotlight with them. On the road to their final show, with whistle stops in Jacksonville and Savannah to renew old acquaintances and make new friends, Mike and the guys learn some new moves and shake off the past in surprising ways.

Production for Magic Mike XXL began a few weeks ago. It is set to hit theaters July 1, 2015.
