Channing Tatum Writes 'Magic Mike 2' With Some Help From Matthew McConaughey

Channing Tatum Gets Inspired For 'Magic Mike 2'
|

Channing Tatum is getting to work on "Magic Mike 2," the upcoming sequel to the hit 2012 movie in which he starred as a male stripper with a heart of gold. Tatum is writing the script with his producing partner Reid Carolin, and also eyeing a chance at directing the film.

The new father took to Instagram this week to offer a peek into his writing process. Tatum posted a photo of himself looking serious in a feather-adorned hat with a pen in his mouth. He is joined in the photo by a bust of his "Magic Mike" co-star, Matthew McConaughey.

Tatum referenced McConaughey's "Magic Mike" character Dallas in the caption to the photo, writing, "What better way to start writing #MagicMike2 than with my old friend Dallas? #runatribe"
