For Kingsman 2, now titled Kingsman: The Golden Circle, Matthew Vaughn (Kick-Ass) is returning to the director’s chair. Jane Goldman, who co-wrote the original’s screenplay with Vaughn is also returning.
Taron Edgerton and Mark Strong will be back as Gary ‘Eggsy’ Unwin and Merlin, respectively. Edward Holcroft, the young villain in the first Kingsman, will be returning as Charlie. New additions include Julianne Moore (Boogie Nights), Halle Berry (Die Another Day), Channing Tatum (The Hateful Eight), Jeff Bridges (Tron), Vinnie Jones (Midnight Meat Train) and singer, Elton John.
A released poster for Kingsman: The Golden Circle left fans confused as it was teasing Colin Firth’s return (if you’ve seen the first movie, you’ll know why it’s strange) – but now, it has been confirmed from a new set photo (via Instagram) that Firth is definitely back as Harry Hart. A flashback maybe? Only time will tell.
Kingsman: The Golden Circle hits theaters in October 2017.
