10 Most Exciting Upcoming Movies Announced This Year
10. Statesman
While last year's Kingsman: The Golden Circle managed to make a healthy amount of money for Fox, it was a big step down from the original in terms of quality, and it cast a little bit of doubt over the future of the series.
Well, scratch that, because there are currently a whole host of Kingsman projects in the works, including three movies and an 8-hour TV show. One of these movies has been dubbed Statesman, and will further explore the American, whiskey-chugging version of the Kingsman spies, first introduced in The Golden Circle.
Statesman - an organization that featured Channing Tatum as Tequila, Halle Berry as Ginger Ale and Jeff Bridges as Champ - were woefully underused in The Golden Circle, so it's only right that we get to spend more time with them, and their world is definitely rich enough (and those three actors prolific enough) to make a standalone movie worthwhile.
The Golden Circle was quite bloated, but a stripped-down, raucous Statesman adventure featuring the whimsical delights of Bridges and the wit of Tatum could be exactly what the series needs.
