I don’t know about anyone else, but I loved the superb action-comedy that was Kingsman: The Secret Service when it landed back in 2014. The fact that a sequel was soon put into motion due to the first’s huge success was slightly worrying as we were always afraid that the filmmakers couldn’t top the genius of the original.
What Fox have done though is bring back everyone that was involved in the first movie – screenwriter Jane Goldman, director Matthew Vaughn and stars Taron Egerton and even Colin Firth (!) Well, on the trailer for her new film Miss Peregrines Home For Peculiar Children, Goldman has teased us with what we can expect with ‘Kingsman 2’, which is formally known as Kingsman: The Golden Circle. Here’s what she had to say to Collider.
“It’s more crazy than the first one, if such thing is possible, it’s pretty crazy…We’re very fortunate to have Julianne Moore playing the villain, and she’s incredible…I think that people who enjoyed the first one won’t be disappointed. It’s not about trying to do something more shocking, or more out there, it’s about hopefully bringing that freshness and surprise to action scenes, where they don’t go in the direction you think they’re gonna go in.”
See, we shouldn’t worry! Kingsman: The Golden Circle also stars Mark Strong, Sophie Cookson, Channing Tatum, Pedro Pascal, Jeff Bridges, Halle Berry, Vinnie Jones, Elton John, Edward Holcroft, and Samantha Womack. It will hit cinemas next June.
More as it comes in.
