Interestingly, this wouldn't be the last time actress Sofia Boutella was cast in a role that was male on the page, as Atomic Blonde would go on to make a similar casting decision. In late March, Vaughn confirmed Berry's and Moore's casting, as well as the title, Kingsman: The Golden Circle. Upon restraining Alias, Alias explains that he was trying to shut down the servers in the financial district to protect them from a virus released by the Red Diamond's agent. Kingsman: The Secret Service, directed by Vaughn from a script he co-wrote with Jane Goldman, starring Colin Firth and Taron Egerton, was released in February 2015. Eggsy is the underachiever of all time, but he is given the chance to be better, than the sinkhole estate that he has grown up in, by his Uncle who is a spy of the extremely violent kind, but with the veneer of respectability that Bond always exudes.

Matthew Vaughn's ' The King's Man ' Sequel, ' The Traitor King,' Will Take on the Rise of Hitler [Exclusive]".All of the backstory Harry tells Eggsy in the movie, about the Kingsman being a separate organization that operates apart from the government, is a lot more complicated than the explanation we get in the book.

That he just took out one of the guys threatening to expose his plan doesn't come to Arnold’s attention the way it does Valentine’s, when he kills Harry himself. Arnold, a scientist who put forth the idea that Earth is a living organism and humanity is a plague upon it—and that global warming is just a planetary fever. He chooses to get Gary out of his difficult situation and eventually helps his sister (Gary’s mother) out financially to make up for his absence in her life.

I'd say read it if you're one of those curious fuckers (like I am) that enjoy seeing what the source material looks like. One note in advance: Harry Hart from the movie, and Jack London in the book, aren't exactly the same character (and their names aren't remotely similar), but they do fulfill the same role as Eggsy's Kingsman mentor, and have enough overlap in their stories to justify comparison. In August 2017, it was confirmed that Kingsman: The Golden Circle would have a tie-in game to accompany its release, and that it would be a turn-based match-3 role-playing combat game, released on iOS and Android by the Korean mobile game company NHN PixelCube. Finding them in a hotel room together, Arnold doesn’t hesitate or wait for London to open the door before Gazelle shoots him in the head through the peephole. Gary’s training happens too quickly (those three years feel like three months at most), in fact most of the book rushes by in a series of trite and forgettable moments.Following the recent release of the Kingsman movie at the start of 2015 I decided to pick up the source material in the form of Millar/Gibbon's graphic novel.
