Magic Mike XXL is a 2015 American comedy-drama film directed by Gregory Jacobs, written by Reid Carolin and starring Channing Tatum, Matt Bomer, Kevin Nash, and Joe Manganiello.

[3] A sequel to 2012's Magic Mike, the film premiered in Hollywood on June 26, 2015, and was released theatrically in the United States on July 1, 2015, by Warner Bros. Pictures.

Believing that his former boss has died, Mike goes to a hotel to find his friends, the remaining Kings of Tampa, at a pool party.

After revealing Dallas bailed on them to start a new show in Macau and only took "The Kid"[a] with him, the Kings let Mike in on their plan: to end their careers on a high note at the male stripping convention in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

To prove to Richie he is willing to commit to the trip, Mike participates in an amateur drag queen contest, and the others join him shortly.

Back on the road, Mike suggests that they change their routine after the group (except Tarzan) takes MDMA.

Mike meets Zoe again, and she tells him about how another photographer, under the guise of needing an assistant, tried to have an extramarital affair with her.

With preparations complete, they head to the convention where they squeeze in a spot, thanks to Rome and her history with Paris, the organizer of the event.

[16] On September 17, 2014, it was officially announced by director Jacobs during an interview with IndieWire that Matthew McConaughey would not be returning for the film.

[9][19] On October 8, 2014, Stephen "tWitch" Boss announced his involvement in the film, saying that he was asked by Tatum to join the cast.

[30] Filming took place October 23–25 in Savannah, Georgia, where more than 900 women extras were used, 300–900 each day for Convention scenes.

[34] Included in the film and on the album are Bomer's covers of "Untitled (How Does It Feel)" by D'Angelo and "Heaven" by Bryan Adams.

As well as acting in the film, Donald Glover also features on the soundtrack where he covers "Marry You", originally by Bruno Mars.

The website's critics consensus reads, "Magic Mike XXL has enough narrative thrust and beefy charm to deliver another helping of well-oiled entertainment, even if this sequel isn't quite as pleasurable as its predecessor.

[49] In July 2022, Soderbergh announced that there are developments ongoing for additional installments in the franchise for stories centered around other characters unrelated to Mike Lane.
