LOS ANGELES, Sept. 17 (UPI) —
Director Greg Jacobs said actor Matthew McConaughey won’t be back for the sequel to male stripper flick Magic Mike.
Cameras started rolling for Magic Mike XXL over Labor Day weekend and Gregs said McConaughey won’t be joining Channing Tatum, Matt Bomer and Joe Manganiello when they start principal shooting at the end of the month.
The director told IndieWire the sequel will be "very different."
"What am I allowed to say?" he said. "It’s road trip movie and put it this way, it’s different enough that once you see it you’ll understand why we made a sequel. No one will be accusing us of making the same movie twice."
Gregs wouldn’t reveal if any other actors would be returning from the first film, nor would he disclose the names of any new faces joining the cast.
