We are VERY excited for Magic Mike XXL here at SHEmazing!, and the good news is, they’ve started production!

Director of Photography Steven Soderbergh posted this photo to Twitter, although we were a bit disappointed that it wasn’t a shot of Channing Tatum mid-strip tease – we know he’s out there somewhere, probably with his top off. 

The first Magic Mike was a big hit in the box office, and got good reviews from critics as well, so we have high hopes for the sequel, which was co-written by Reid Carolin and Channing Tatum himself. It’s just a pity Matthew McConaughey won’t be in it this time around – though we’re sure as soon as Mr. Tatum is on the screen we’ll forget ALL about McConaughey!

The film isn’t released in the US until the 1^st of July 2015, so we have a ten whole months to wait. Do you think you can make it?!
