First Look! Joe Manganiello Takes the Stripper Stage in Magic Mike

While we’re celebrating Joe Manganiello’s 35th birthday, let’s all pause and take a moment to enjoy the first promo photo released from his upcoming film, Magic Mike.

The movie — set to be released on June 29, 2012 — stars our favorite True Blood werewolf alongside Alex Pettyfer, Matthew McConaughey, and Channing Tatum in a story based on Channing’s pre-Hollywood days as a male stripper.

In the first image released by Warner Brothers, the film’s hunky stars take the stage to perform an Americana-themed routine for what we can only assume is an awestruck audience of female fans.

Will you be lining up to see this flick come June? We know we will.
