The film has Alex Pettyfer set to play a young dancer mentored in the art of the hustle by the more experienced ‘Magic Mike,’ with Channing Tatum actually playing the title character. And now they’ll be joined by Matthew McConaughey and Matt Bomer.

Variety says that Matthew McConaughey will be “Dallas, a former exotic dancer who now owns and operates Xquisite, the club where “Magic Mike” works.” THR, meanwhile, says that Bomer will be “playing a stripper that is part of the troupe” that dances at Xquisite.

And what the hell — guys have movies packed with eye candy aimed at them all the time. Good on Soderbergh for remembering there’s another half of the population that likes a little eye candy with their drama.
