The news comes on the heels of Warner Bros. studios sharing the plotline for the sure-to-be-sexy male stripper movie sequel. So what are Magic Mike (Tatum), Big Dick Richie (Joe Manganiello) and the rest of the pelvis-thrusting studs up to in XXL? Here's the full movie plot:

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.

267 days to go, people.
