It’s here, and it’s great. Let’s do a qualitative analysis of Channing Tatum’s new movie poster.
The poster for the Magic Mike sequel dropped last night, bringing mass hysteria and delighted choruses of "yaaaaaassssssss!" across the internet. The IMDb synopsis of the movie is a little bland ("The continuing story of male stripper, Magic Mike") so we broke the poster down to its key elements. Drink your fill.

Technically, it stands for "Magic Mike XXL," but by abbreviating this rather unwieldy title, "Chanimal" does two things: 1) he makes it fit (heh), and 2) it takes on the implied classiness of Roman numerals (there is no such number as MMXXL, by the way). Add to that the fact that it's written in gold blocky caps, and the message is clear: This is world-class stripping, and you might learn something while he's rotating his crotch in your face.
The baseball cap
Please understand the cap is no accident; it is Channing's Patronus. Nothing bad can happen to him while he's wearing it. Remember in Step Up? Cap. Do you remember in Magic Mike, when he did that iconic pony routine? Cap! Never take that cap off, Chan, even if it shields your eyes, and covers one ear. The cap is your superpower, and we love it.
