When KINGSMAN: THE SECRET SERVICE hit theaters in 2014, it became an audience favorite almost immediately. Based on the comic book series by Mark Millar and Dave Gibbons, it followed an underground British spy organization that recruited a street punk kid and groomed him to be smooth and sophisticated assassin. The James Bond influences weren’t just heavy, they’re literally nodded to in the movie. Director Matthew Vaughn is back for the sequel (his first ever), KINGSMAN: THE GOLDEN CIRCLE, which brings back Taron Egerton, Colin Firth, Mark Strong, Sophie Cookson, Hanna Alström, and Charlie Hesketh from the first film, joined by newcomers Channing Tatum, Halle Berry, Pedro Pascal, Julianne Moore, Jeff Bridges, Vinnie Jones, Poppy Delevingne, and the one and only Elton John. And now, thanks to it premiering at San Diego Comic-Con, we’ve got a brand new green band and red band trailer which you can see below. I’m on board, this looks like a blast. Tell us your thoughts in the comments.
When the Kingsman 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…
