Up to this point, it was pretty sure thing that Matthew McConaughey would be coming back for the Magic Mike sequel but now it seems that he is unlikely to be returning for Magic Mike XXL.
Magic Mike actor Gabriel Iglesias claimed in an interview with Dish Nation on Thursday, June 19, that “Matthew is not going to be involved in this one. He’s worth a lot of money. That little Oscar thing…”
However, currently McConaughey is still listed on websites as starring in the sequel. He previously claimed that he really enjoyed working on the project.
We’re waiting on the official word from the McConaughey camp but this isn’t looking good. Take solace in the below.
