2. The Secret Service (March 2015)
Director: Matthew Vaughn
Cast: Colin Firth, Samuel L Jackson, Michael Caine & Taron Egerton
Plot: Gary Unwin's life is going nowhere until he is recruited by his James Bond-like Uncle and thrown into a battle against a mysterious villain responsible for kidnapping a number of public figures in this adaptation of the Mark Millar graphic novel.
What To Expect: The names Ass... Kick-Ass X-Men: First Class and Kick-Ass director Matthew Vaughn's bromance with graphic novelist Mark Millar continues with this adaptation of another Miller comic. The Secret Service's story of an everyday young boy getting drawn into action and adventure looks set to hit the same beats as Kick-Ass but with a more refined edge befitting the English setting. The screenplay has been written by Kick-Ass scribe Jane Goldman and with acting support from screen legends Michael Caine and Samuel L. Jackson this film should, er, kick ass (Sorry. So sorry).
