Matt Bomer Steals His Co-Stars’ Thunder In New ‘Magic Mike XXL’ Posters

Count me among the skeptical regarding Magic Mike XXL. I loved the first film for a number of reasons, Matthew McConaughey chief among them, but I just don't understand the point of a sequel. Nevertheless, this is Hollywood and so here we are. My skepticism has begun to crack to a certain extent, thanks mainly to these character posters, especially the one featuring Matt Bomer.

These posters come to us courtesy of The Daily Mail, and feature Bomer, Adam Rodriguez, newcomer Stephen 'tWitch' Boss, and series star Channing Tatum. While they're all great, Bomer is the clear winner here. Bomer's having a hell of year, winning a Golden Globe for his brilliant turn in The Normal Heart, as well as his savvy bullet dodging in regard to Fifty Shades of Grey. 

The biggest hope I have for the sequel came in the form of tongue-in-cheek comments made by Tatum in a recent preview of the film in Entertainment Weekly (link below).

What happens in the sequel to 2012’s male-stripper hit? “No plot,” teases Channing Tatum. “Just a bunch of naked dudes sitting around doing dude stuff. We read all the message boards, and people were like, ‘Less story. Less plot. Just dudes’ things.’ And we listened to that.”

“Basically, we all were taking penis-enlargement pills since the last one, so we weren’t worried about what temperature the room was when we came out to do our dances,” he jokes. (We think.) “That’s what XXL means.” 

I used to think Tatum was a bit of an oaf, but I think he gets it. He's got nothing on Matt Bomer though. Or this...
