I will just say he is absolutely absolutely amazing in this movie and will steal the show.

Also dunno why they didn't put Pablo Pascal's name on the poster.





No it is nothing dumb like that. Don't worry it is explained well.

Time traveller?

Regarding Colin Firth:

Whatever the answer, I'm in!

 

[PandaShake]

Harry was my favorite character. Hope he makes it back in.

 

[sixteen-bit]

I still haven't seen the original. Been meaning to get to it.

 

[LiK]

It's his twin.

that would be the worst idea.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

The over-the-top spoof/riff/celebration/mockery of '70s-era Bond cheese is going to resurrect a character we saw die onscreen for the simple fact he was a cool character.

How is this not fitting? What "reality" is getting broken here.

The last movie featured people's brains exploding in technicolor kaleidoscopes of splatter as a woman with giant bendy machetes for legs killed everything in sight.

But bringing Colin Firth back is a touch too much.

OK.

 

[Stinkles]

that would be the worst idea.

Jokes aside the poster infers bullet proof (resistant) glasses and a likely eye patch. Would make sense given the tailor's sartorial specialty.

 

[Zvonimir Boban]

I'm going to use this thread to advertise Eddie The Eagle which was amazing.

Co-signed.

It's cheesy, cliched, saccharine, all that bullshit but Egerton and Jackman are so good that it makes the whole movie worthwhile.

I still haven't seen the original. Been meaning to get to it.

You should go watch it RIGHT NOW.

 

[Emarv]

Really curious which satirical American spy archetype they use? Cruise-inspired Mission Impossible spy or gritty Bourne spy? I'm so down for this.

I think it feels too much because by typical movie rules, Firth's character is dead. We saw him get shot right in the head on screen and fall to the ground in a heap.

But personally I don't care, just pull a Crank and say "he died, but then he got better"

 

[Kinyou]

Can they resurrect Gazelle as well, please?

Judging by the rope and denim, my guess is Indy/National Treasure inspired.

 

[NetMapel]

As somebody who is currently working on this film now, I say wait for the trailer it is pretty dope!

talking about the kaleidoscope explosions

how does the world moves on after this? i mean the majority of politicians and celebrities were ok to kill all the rest of the population?

even fucking obama was ok with this on the movie!

 

[Santiako]

Oh shit, Colin Firth is going to be his twin that went to the US and founded Statesman isn't he?

 

[LiK]

give me the scoops. PM me.

 

[The Omega Man]

What will the damsel in distress offer as a reward this time? First one already maxed out in that department

Gonna be a cowboy innit?

omg Colin Firth riding around going "Yee-haw!" would be fucking amazing.

 

[Bleepey]

Well look what we have here.

 

[DeathoftheEndless]

Based on Tatum's look in the poster and the fact that Jeff Bridges is in the movie, I'm going to guess its Western inspired.

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

Yep. And Sam Jackson's character's blood phobia would explain why they didn't check his body.

 

[Jive Turkey]

I assumed he would appear in flashbacks going back to the early days of the UK/US agencies but...

This was my thinking too. They're going to make him the new Arthur aren't they?

 

[The Omega Man]

Dead is dead, nobody should return from that one regardless of how absurd the setting is, of course if he didn't really die well...

 

[Patrick Bateman]

In April of last year, Taron (the young lead) tweeted the following poster. Colin's back.

I bet that Sam Jackson shot him in the eye, yet the bullet got deflected/slowed down and he "just" lost the eye but survived. I mean those were some sort of super spy glasses the Kingsmen are wearing. What would be a reason to not make them bulletproof?
If I remember correctly there was blood and Sam Jackson was too afraid to look at his body whether he was really dead.
I see no problem to justify Firth's survival with this.
It would also explain the one black glass.

 

[Head of Vengarl]

I'm interested to see what dumb excuse they use to bring back Colin Firth. Although it would be pretty great if he showed up and no-one addressed the fact that he died.

That would be hilarious. They should treat his character like Kenny in South Park - kill him off every movie and inexplicably have him return in the next one.

I look forward to all of your posts in movie related threads, thank you for being a voice of reason.

Pablo Pascal is in this too? Awesome!

 

[Bobby Roberts]

I understand, but I don't think this series is a series that gives much of a fuck about "typical movie rules," as part of its mission.

But personally I don't care, just pull a Crank and say "he died, but then he got better"

Shit, I kinda hope that's basically it. Like, he just gets up with a headache and an eye missing.

 

[Sidewinder]

Did people forget the poster Egerton put up last year?


https://twitter.com/TaronEgerton/status/718102984715026434

Nice, Colin was perfect in that movie!

The bullet probably went through his skull in such a way that it didn't kill him or he's actually a Terminator, or a clone...

 

[Thewonandonly]

As somebody who is currently working on this film now, I say wait for the trailer it is pretty dope!

Well I for one can not wait for this movie as the first one was my second favorite movie of 2015, right behind my favorite movie of all time star wars. Can you give us a hint of when the trailer is suppose to release or PM me I wont tell

 

[MarveI]

I don't care for Colin Firths resurrection. He was great in the first one and more of that is always great. So all is forgiven. Just bring on more of that silly 1st film goodness.

 

[PSqueak]

yeah wtf at the Colin Firth billing? was it explained already?

Explained? No.

Confirmed to return? Since like the very first teaser.

That's totally it. The very deliberate glasses design makes perfect sense

Shades with a tinted lens is the posh version of an eyepatch

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Yeah, I think Bateman sussed it out.

 

[Dr.Acula]

I'm pulling for "American Twin." That'd be fun. He could walk around in cowboy boots and open-carry a six-shooter.

 

[Patrick Bateman]

Yeah, I think Bateman sussed it out.

[Jag]

Explained? No.

Heard a rumor that he may be in via flashbacks. Like how he became a Kingsman. Or maybe exposition for the current plot.

 

[Joni]

Looks great. Can't wait to see Indiana Jones take on James Bond.

 

[SillyEskimo]

Colon Firth faked his death and disguised himself as the princess at the end. It explains so much.

 

[The Last Wizard]

I'm in, but why did they have to put Channing Tatum in
He's a horrible actor.

 

[DBT85]

Can't wait, hope Elton John is the bad guy lol

I'm in, but why did they have to put Channing Tatum in
He's a horrible actor.

Perfect film for him though, actiony with absolutely no hint of taking itself seriously. That's why White House Down is the better White House movie.

 

[liquidtmd]

"But...I thought you were dead"???

*Firth looks at camera and channels Roger Moore*

"Fake News"

Credits Roll with Bombastic theme

 

[Bobby Roberts]

nah buddy.

 

[Thewonandonly]

nah buddy.

Right has this dude seen the jump street series. Dude can do comedy and is ace at it.

 

[MeBecomingI]

I'm in, but why did they have to put Channing Tatum in
He's a horrible actor.

He can act and he has a lot of range. Just go watch Foxcatcher, for example. Very good, serious drama role that he is fantastic in. That film made me a believer in his acting ability. I'm sure he'll be fantastic in this.

I'm so excited for this movie. The first is one of my favourite action movies ever so I'm hoping this will deliver.

 

[Zeuanimals]

*sigh*

He was shot point blank in the face. This should be interesting how they explain how Harry is still around.

They have bulletproof suits and umbrellas. It's safe to assume their glasses are bulletproof as well.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

We're gonna see the bullet crumple up against the glass (think Superman Returns) as the glass itself shatters and bits of it fly back into his eye.

He stays still while bleeding until Jackson & the henchmen leave.

He gets up, emits a stream of profanity, dusts himself off, and heads to the pub.

Done.

 

[BoogieWoogie]

Matthew Vaughn directing this one?

 

[Sephzilla]

We can do better. Bulletproof makeup. Bulletproof contact lenses. Bulletproof hair gel that seeps into the skin and results in bulletproof sweat.
