One more member of the original Magic Mike cast has confirmed his return to the film franchise, but two of the other biggest characters' returns for the sequel are still up in the air.

Alex Pettyfer Needs To 'Suck Up' To Channing Tatum?

White Collar star Matthew Bomer confirmed to USA Today on July 10 that he would in fact be returning to his role as Ken when Magic Mike: XXL begins filming later this year.

"It's legit and it's happening-and it's happening pretty soon," he said.

Matthew McConaughey NOT Returning For 'Magic Mike' Sequel?

The actor, who lost an astonishing 40 pounds to portray a man dying of AIDS in HBO's The Normal Heart, also admitted he would need to bulk back up in order to reprise his role as a buff male stripper.

"It's definitely physically demanding to go the other way as well," he admitted.

Though Bomer has work to do to get ready for reprising his role, he is only the third actor who has confirmed his return to the sequel film-following the steps of Channing Tatum, the title character of Mike, and Joe Manganiello, who portrayed Big D-k Richie.

Two major characters who haven't been confirmed to be returning for the sequel however, are Matthew McConaughey, who portrayed strip club owner Dallas, and Alex Pettyfer, who portrayed Mike's protégé, Adam.

While McConaughey's return is considered unlikely because the plot is supposed to take place on a road trip to a stripper convention (making his role and his club an unnecessary part of the film), Pettyfer could return-but would need to get the approval of Tatum, who he fought with during the original movie's filming.

"Alex is dying to reprise his role, but Channing is on the fence," a source told OK! Magazine. "It's going to take a lot of sucking up for Alex to get his part back."

The source also reportedly said that Tatum found the 24-year-old actor to be too cocky and difficult to work with.

OK! also reported on the fight between the two actors back in 2012, saying at the time that Tatum forbade Pettyfer from attending the cast's cover shoot for Entertainment Weekly.

"Those around them tried to mend their relationship, but Channing doesn't want anything to do with Alex," a source said at the time. "Channing said he didn't want to do [the shoot] if Alex was there. Alex is known in Hollywood for being rude and difficult."
