Kings­man: The Gold­en Cir­cle get a blis­ter­ing first trailer

25 Apr 2017

Words by Adam Woodward

Eggsy is back with a shot­gun-wield­ing Chan­ning Tatum in-tow in Matthew Vaughn’s spy-spoof­ing sequel.

It’s fair to say that Kings­man: The Secret Ser­vice sur­prised quite a few peo­ple – for bet­ter and for worse. We hap­pened to find its in-your-face brand of com­ic book humour rather endear­ing, so it’s with some excite­ment and a mild sense of trep­i­da­tion that we await direc­tor Matthew Vaughn’s follow-up.

Again writ­ten Jane Gold­man and Vaughn, and based on Mark Mil­lar and Dave Gib­bons’ ​‘The Secret Ser­vice’, this sequel sees Taron Egerton’s ​“Eggsy” dis­cov­er an allied super-spy organ­i­sa­tion named States­men, which counts Chan­ning Tatum among its clan­des­tine recruits.

Togeth­er, Eggsy and ​“Agent Tequi­la” set about attempt­ing to save the world from some vague inter­na­tion­al ter­ror threat fol­low­ing the destruc­tion of Kings­man HQ. Which is a wel­come mes­sage of sol­i­dar­i­ty giv­en Britain’s cur­rent diplo­mat­ic situation.

And that’s about all we’re able to dis­cern from this blis­ter­ing first trail­er, which effec­tive­ly sets the tone with­out spoil­ing any of the key sto­ry details – all while teas­ing sup­port­ing roles from Julianne Moore, Halle Berry and Jeff Bridges. ​“I hope you’re ready for what comes next.” We sure bet­ter be…

Kings­man: The Gold­en Cir­cle arrives 22 September.
