If women everywhere weren’t excited enough about the impending arrival of Magic Mike XXL in theaters next July, they’re about to become even more exciting. One of the hottest strippers in the movie, 37-year-old Joe Manganiello opens up about his return to the franchise, the new dance moves and how comfortable he’s become on-stage. It appears he might have a new career on which he can fall back if the acting thing doesn’t work out. We wonder how Sofia Vergara feels about that one.

This time, there were 900 during our dance scene, so it was a bigger rush,” says the star of doing their big striptease in front of 700 additional women screaming with excitement than in the first film. “The sound of 900 screaming women is literally deafening. My ears were ringing for days after I did my final routine,” he continues.

And if that’s not enough, the actor is not the only hottie to strip down in the newest installment of the hit movie. While women are saddened that Matthew McConaughey won’t be coming back this time to strip for us, there are a few men that might just make women everywhere forget he was even in the first movie. This time around, old cast members such as Channing Tatum and Matt Bomer are welcoming some new faces. Michael Strahan, former NFL player and co-host of Live with Kelly and Michael has joined the cast as a stripper.

Additionally, some female faces will make an appearance in this movie, not that female fans care in the least to see them, but they will appreciate that Elizabeth Banks, Jada Pinkett Smith and Amber Heard are all going to appear in the film. Additionally, one of the crew members from the Ellen DeGeneres show as well as Twitch, the famed dancer from So You Think You Can Dance, who also frequently guest DJs for Ellen on her talk show will appear in the film.
