Amber Heard, Elizabeth Banks and More Join MAGIC MIKE Sequel

While Matthew McConaughey won't return for the "Magic Mike" sequel due to scheduling conflicts, the film is rounding up quite an impressive cast. Titled "Magic Mike XXL", the new installment continues to track the career of the titular stripper, played by Channing Tatum, who embarks on a road trip with his friends from the first film (Matt Bomer and Joe Manganiello will also return).

As for the new additions, Amber Heard ("3 Days to Kill"), Elizabeth Banks ("Walk of Shame"), Andie MacDowell ("Groundhog Day"), Jada Pinkett Smith ("Gotham") and Donald Glover ("Community") have joined the cast, though their roles are unknown at this point.

Until we know more, here is the official synopsis for "Magic Mike XXL":

"Picking up the story three years after Mike bowed out of the stripper life at the top of his game, “Magic Mike XXL” 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 blow-out 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."
