S
poiler alert for those who haven't yet watched the first Kingsman movie. Actor Taron Egerton, who plays Eggsy in the film, recently tweeted a poster photo of the sequel, Kingsman: The Golden Circle, bearing the legend: "Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated," beneath a pair of glasses with one lens missing.
Egerton later captioned the photo with "A message from an old friend. #Kingsman".
The quote on the poster is of course a reference to Harry Hart (Colin Firth), who was shot in the face by Valentine (Samuel L. Jackson) and presumably killed in the first movie, Kingsman: The Secret Service.
No word yet from Firth or director Matthew Vaughn about this update; we guess we'll be kept on tenterhooks until the movie comes out in June next year.
However, news of new cast members is circulating, including Pedro Pascal, known for playing Oberyn Martell in the popular series Game of Thrones, Halle Berry, who it is rumored will play the head of the statesmen (the American equivalent of the Secret Service) and Julianne Moore, who will portray the villain, at least according to independent.co.uk.
