Kingsman: The Secret Service, the crime/sci-fi/spy movie released in 2015, raked in over $414 Million world-wide and received positive critical reception as one of the most bonkers spy movies to be released. Based on the comic book The Secret Service by Dave Gibbons and Mark Millar, the story focuses on members of a secret spy society trying to thwart a megalomaniac billionaire (Samuel L Jackson) who is planning a mass genocide. It was a welcome refresher in terms of British spy movies from the broody, super slick James Bond, and it’s no wonder that the sequel has been highly anticipated.
Today, details of the sequel have been released.
Kingsman: The Golden Circle is the official name of the movie and (much like it’s predecessor) the plot sounds absolutely insane.
The plot will see Eggsy (Taron Egerton) and Merlin (Mark Strong) head to the U.S.A. to work with the “Statesmen” – who’s secret hideaway is disguised as a whiskey distillery. Once there, they will be greeted by Ginger (Halle Berry) who will lead them to combat with the movies villain, Poppy (Julianne Moore.)
Matthew Vaughn, director, said whilst discussing the sequel with Empire that while he doesn’t see the need for another Church scene, this movie will feature “other sequences you’ve never seen before.”
Sadly, at this time Colin Firth has not been confirmed for the sequel, though Vaughn has mentioned trying to find a way to bring Harry Hart back to the movies – further casting for Kingsman: The Golden Circle is yet to be announced.
Kingsman: The Golden Circle is currently set for release on June 16 2017.
