Kingsman Sequel To Be Titled 'The Golden Circle'

Please make an appearance Colin Firth.

Mad Max Fury Road, Star Wars The Force Awakens and The Revenant were all massive hits in 2015, but sneaking under the radar for both commercial and critical acclaim was Kingsman: The Secret Service. Now new details are starting to emerge on the sequel from director Matthew Vaughn, with the title confirmed as being Kingsman: The Golden Circle. Fans of the first instalment also have a few details of the new story to whet their appetites over, with reports that the film will be moving away from the streets of London and, instead being set in America. The story, it seems, will focus on a team up with the American version of the Kingsman, known simply as the 'Statesman'. The Golden Circle will star Taran Egerton, reprising his role as local chav turned suave super-spy 'Eggsy'. Mark Strong will also be making his return as the Q inspired quartermaster 'Merlin', but there's no word yet on whether or not Colin Firth will be reprising his role as Harry Hart; one of the breakout characters of the original movie. Catwoman star Halle Berry will also be joining the cast as Statesman agent 'Ginger' and, the villain of the film 'Poppy', will be played by another new-comer to the franchise in Julianne Moore. When asked about any details on the sequel Vaughn told Empire: "I didn€™t know if I wanted to direct this or not. I was worried about the villain. Spy films are only as good as their villains. Then one morning I woke up with the whole storyline in place, and a new villain plot". The original villain of course being the stuttering tech savvy Richmond Valentine played by Samuel L. Jackson. The original Kingsman grossed over 260 million at the global box office. Hopes will be high for the sequel following a similar path when it is released in June of 2017.
