2015 saw many a spy film hit theaters, but many were pleasantly surprised by Kingsman: The Secret Service and its $410 million global box office takings. Following its success, speculation of a sequel to the comic book adaptation began to abound.
a theatrical release date for Kingsman 2 was announced for Summer 2017. Taron Egerton, who played Gary ?Eggsy? Unwin, will be returning to the main role. As for whether Colin Firth can return as Harry Hart, following his death in the first film ? that matter?s been up in the air for some time now, though the latest update on the sequel suggests a final decision has been reached.
THR is reporting that Julianne Moore is in talks to play the sequel?s villain. The star recently won an Oscar Still Alice and played the formidable President Coin in The Hunger Games film quadrilogy. She?s currently working on Todd Haynes? adaptation of children?s book Wonderstruck as well as other movies. Having a lot on could cause scheduling clashes for her, meaning she?s not a lock to appear in Kingsman 2 just yet.
