The original Kingsman is one of my favorite movies in recent memory, not only because it's a perfect example of how to make a campy R-rated spy film in the modern erea, but because I thoroughly enjoy any chance to see director Matthew Vaughn play with a full Hollywood budget. So of course I was plenty excited to see that the Kingsman adventures would continue in The Golden Circle. In today's trailer talk we see what the sequel has to offer.
Eggsy & Merlin Alone
Well it looks like we're going full Skyfall with this and pairing Eggsy with an older mentor and blowing up their base of operations. Presumably this is the work of the aforementioned Golden Circle, the leader's still unclear, which means Eggsy and Merlin will be going at it alone. I like this since it gives the movie a buddy comedy vibe which is a bit different than the first film's tone.
Kingsman Cowboys?
So it looks like we've got some Cowboys that are just as competent as the Kingsman and I believe these are the Statesman, a comparable group to the Kingsman. From the looks of it we've got Channing Tatum as one of their top agents, holy hell that's awesome yes, and Jeff Bridges as some kind of leader. It's so simple and silly and I love every second of it, especially if we get some misunderstanding fights followed by team-ups.
Colin Firth Alive? How?
So big spoiler for the original Kingsman but Colin Firth's Galahad doesn't make it to the end of the movie. He's shot by Samuel L. Jackson's villain. But from the looks of it Galahad survived the shooting and is being kept tucked away in some kind of secret bunker with a sweet eye patch. How did this happen and who's holding him? No idea, but I'm curious
More Slick Action
To my mind, excellently choreographed action scenes are Matthew Vaughn's specialty and this movie looks like it's got plenty from shootouts, to car fights, to another battle for Eggsy against a mechanically enhanced opponent. I can't wait.
