Following the first look atChanning Tatum,Halle BerryandJeff Bridgesthat surfaced last week, 20th Century Fox has released a brief trailer preview forKingsman: The Golden Circle. While most trailer previews only showcase a few brief shots from the full trailer, the studio has decided to condense the entire trailer into one tiny 10-second video. The studio hasn’t confirmed yet when the actual trailer will arrive, but we also have two new photos featuring bothChanning TatumandTaron Egerton, along with new details from directorMatthew Vaughn.
There were many who thought that the highly-anticipatedFifty Shades of Greywould simply crushKingsman: The Secret Servicewhen they debuted on the same weekend in February 2015. WhileFifty Shadesdid perform quite well,Kingsmanwas one of the surprise hits of the year, earning $414.3 million worldwide, and turning youngTaron Egertoninto an overnight star. Many consider the action-packed “church scene” to be one of the most iconic moments in the first movie, making it increasingly difficult to top. DirectorMatthew Vaughn, who returns to direct this sequel, spoke withEmpire, teasing that there will be some action that is comparable to the church scene in this sequel, but much different.
“There’s an opportunity withKingsman 2to make it bigger and bolder and funnier and crazier. The church sequence, everyone wants something like that. But we’ve got action sequences which are just as original but different.”
This sequel introduces colorful new American characters who are part of a group known as the Statesmen, which is essentially the American version of the Kingsmen.Jeff Bridgesplays the Statesman leader, Agent Champagne, a.k.a. Champ, withHalle Berryplaying Ginger, the Statesmen tech expert,Pedro Pascalas Agent Whiskey andChanning Tatumas Agent Tequila. They all team up withTaron Egerton’s Eggsy and the rest of the Kingsmen to take down the nefarious Poppy (Julianne Moore), whoMatthew Vaughnstates is, “America’s sweetheart gone wrong.” Here’s what the director had to say about all of these new characters, explaining why they all have alcohol-related code names, while teasing a huge arc for Eggsy.
“They’re great characters. They’re multi-billionaires with huge jets, and their base is a giant distillery in Kentucky. We’ve got all this fun Americana and we’re combining it with the Englishness. We’ve got a huge arc for Eggsy. Where does he go? What does he have to learn? And now he’s got a huge moral dilemma the audience will totally relate to.”
Kingsman: The Golden Circleintroduced 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. InKingsman: 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 calledStatesman, 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. Take a look at the trailer teaser, along with the slowed down version, and new photos forKingsman 2below, as we get closer to the September 29 release date, and the release of the full trailer.
