Channing Tatum Shows Off His Goods in 'Magic Mike XXL' Poster (PHOTO)

The sequel to "Magic Mike" is coming soon, and a new poster for "Magic Mike XXL" wants you to know it.

In a not-so-subtle reference to the, uh, passion that the first film elicited, this image from the follow-up directs audiences to the real star of the series: the male anatomy. And while titular star Channing Tatum doesn't show off much more than his toned abs, the promise of more should leave eager moviegoers salivating.

"Magic Mike XXL" takes place three years after the first flick, with Mike and his crew reuniting for a big show in Myrtle Beach that's set to be his swan song in the stripping game. Tatum is joined by returning cast members Matt Bomer, Joe Manganiello, Kevin Nash, Adam Rodriguez, and Gabriel Iglesias; newcomers to the lineup include Elizabeth Banks, Donald Glover, Amber Heard, Andie MacDowell, Jada Pinkett Smith, and Michael Strahan.

Check out the full poster below, and check out Tatum and co. when "Magic Mike XXL" hits theaters on July 1.
