Despite the fact that his character was very obviously killed in the first Kingsman, it looks like the "rumours" of Colin Firth's return for the sequel (which was teased as early as the first promotional image above) have some actual concrete.

Not only did a new poster appear out of CinemaCon, billing the British actor at the top of its starry cast, but the first trailer was also shown. It apparently promises even bigger action set-pieces, tongue-in-cheek James Bond references and the return of Colin Firth. And it's not so much a spoiler, given that he's right there, bold as brass in the trailer - sporting an eye-patch and locked in a holding cell after the events last time out.

As another interesting aside, Elton John is credited surprisingly high for someone whose role was assumed to be no more than a cameo...
