I wasn't entirely sure what to expect from KINGSMAN: THE SECRET SERVICE; the trailers certainly did a decent job of pumping up the entertainment factor of the film, but I definitely didn't anticipate that I would enjoy it as much as I did. No matter how many times I rewatch the film, it loses none of its appeal, which will give the upcoming sequel, again helmed by Matthew Vaughn, some big shoes to fill, but I'm hopeful that KINGSMAN: THE GOLDEN CIRCLE will be able to live up to its predecessor. With their headquarters destroyed, the remaining members of the Kingsman join forces with the Statesman, their American counterparts, to battle a ruthless common enemy and save the world.
Twentieth Century Fox has released a new crop of KINGSMAN: THE GOLDEN CIRCLE character posters featuring many of the Kingsman and Statesman agents, as well as the villainous Poppy (Julianne Moore) herself. Check 'em out!
The official synopsis for KINGSMAN: THE GOLDEN CIRCLE:
“Kingsman: The Secret Service” introduced the world to Kingsman – an independent, international intelligence agency operating at the highest level of discretion, whose ultimate goal is to keep the world safe. In “Kingsman: The Golden Circle,” our heroes face a new challenge. When their headquarters are destroyed and the world is held hostage, their journey leads them to the discovery of an allied spy organization in the US called Statesman, dating back to the day they were both founded. In a new adventure that tests their agents’ strength and wits to the limit, these two elite secret organizations band together to defeat a ruthless common enemy, in order to save the world, something that’s becoming a bit of a habit for Eggsy…
KINGSMAN: THE GOLDEN CIRCLE is set for a September 22, 2017 release.
