Adam Rodriguez Confirms Return For 'Magic Mike 2'

The actor, who recently finished up his role on HBO's True Blood admitted recently that he has been practicing his stripper moves on a very appreciative person-his new girlfriend, Modern Family star Sofia Vergara.

Adam Sevani Replacing Alex Pettyfer?

"Well, you know, I need to practice getting ready for Magic Mike 2. So, that's all I have to say," he said during his interview.

Though most of the actors from the original Magic Mike film have reportedly signed on for the sequel, one cast member in particular may not be signed on for the new film-initial second lead male Alex Pettyfer.

Back in 2012, it was reported several times that Pettyfer had a bad attitude on set, and the fights between him and Tatum caused a lot of tension.

"Channing and Alex had a fight while filming," a source told The New York Post back in 2012. "Those around them tried to mend their relationship, but Channing doesn't want anything to do with Alex."

"He hates Alex," another source told Us Weekly at the time. "Channing thought Alex was a diva on set. Alex was a jerk to everyone during filming for no reason. He thinks he's the star of the movie, not Channing or Matthew McConaughey."

However, despite the fact he may not be welcomed back on set, Pettyfer does reportedly hope to be involved in the project.

"Alex is dying to reprise his role, but Channing is on the fence," a source told OK! Magazine July 11. "It's going to take a lot of sucking up for Alex to get his part back."
