The upcoming Magic Mike sequel is one female fans of the first can barely wait for, and one of the film's stars is now teasing that it will be extremely different from the original.

In a July 6 interview with Vulture, star Joe Manganiello, who played Big D-k Richie in the first movie, opened up about the film, saying how it would differ greatly from the serious atmosphere the first film had.

"I think we're going on a road trip, to a stripper convention somewhere down South," Manganiello said. "When I read the script for the first Magic Mike originally, it was pretty dark. It read like an expose...you couldn't see the guys. You couldn't get a sense of the chemistry between the guys in the locker room until we were actually shooting it and rehearsing the dance scenes."

"So the movie kind of took on a life of its own in the actual execution of it, which changed everything," he added. "...When we were all together, it was more like Animal House."

Manganiello also went on to explain that the ideas for the second film stemmed from the relationship the actors all formed on the first-and promised that the sequel would showcase more of that fun relationship.

"I think that's where the idea for part two came from, which was from us hanging out, laughing, filming part one, and realizing, 'Man! We should have made the movie about this!' So part two is really going be what we wanted part 1 to be," Manganiello said. So it's going to be about the guys. We didn't really get to focus on any of them. I don't think there are specific instances of, 'Oh! We have to do that!' It's more like, 'Man, I've never had this much fun on a set, ever!'"

"And when you promise that you're going to stay in touch with everyone after a project, you never do that. And on this project, we all did. We all stay in contact and keep hanging out, no matter how busy we are," he continued. "So we were like, 'We should have the cameras on us. It should be just us, messing around, this locker room/frat house-type atmosphere.' It was more about that. Like, 'Let's do that.'"
