The sequel to Kingsman got a subtitle this weekend, the wonderfully nonsense-sounding The Golden Circle. But we also found out just enough about the plot to be convinced that it’s going to be as out there as the original.
Empire Magazine has a feature on the sequel, which will include another barroom fight (required by these movies, now, I think) and a skiing sequence. It will also include robot dogs, a one-armed henchman, and an attack from what director Matthew Vaughn described as “a massive fucking frankfurter.” Okay then.
Vaughn also shared that, “I didn’t know if I wanted to direct this or not. I was worried about the villain. Spy films are only as good as their villains. Then one morning I woke up with the whole storyline in place, and a new villain plot.” The villain is Poppy, played by Julianne Moore; Empire helpfully shared concept art of her lair, along with the totally subtle Statesman HQ, a Kingsman underwater vehicle, and someone standing in rubble:
We cannot wait for this.
