The producers of Magic Mike XXL aren’t about to let things go stale. Amber Heard has signed in to appear alongside Channing Tatum, Matt Bomer, Joe Manganiello and Alex Pettyfer in the sequel to 2012’s mega successful stripper dramedy, reports The Hollywood Reporter. The film, which went into production weeks ago, will be helmed by Gregory Jacobs, with original director Steven Soderbergh returning as editor and cinematographer. One bit of bad new, though: Matthew McConaughey won’t be back for a second time around the stripper pole.
