Entertainment
Kingsman: The Golden Circle's release date
has been pushed back. Directed by Matthew
Vaughn, the follow-up to surprise comedy hit
Kingsman: The Secret Service, starring Taron
Egerton and Colin Firth, was due to reach
cinemas on 16 June 2017 but will now come
out on 6 October.
While it's not been confirmed, it's possible that
Fox has delayed the release so that the sequel
doesn't clash with other big releases due to
come out in June. Titles such as Universal
Pictures' The Mummy, featuring Russell Crowe
and Tom Cruise, and superhero outing Wonder
Woman will likely pull in overwhelmingly large
audiences and there's a possibility that they
could overshadow Kingsman 2.

Given that the first instalment came out back
in 2014, it seems like a wise decision from the
studio. Now however, it will be released on the
same as Denis Villeneuve's long-awaited Blade
Runner 2049 .
Newbies to the Kingsman franchise Channing
Tatum, Pedro Pascal, Vinnie Jones, Halle Berry
, Jeff Bridges and Julianne Moore join existing
cast members Samantha Womack, Edward
Holcroft, Sophie Cookson and Mark Strong, as
well as Egerton and Firth this time round. Elton
John has even been confirmed to be starring in
a currently unknown role , so it's certainly a
star-studded affair in its own right.
Based on The Secret Service mini-series by
Icon Comics, the first instalment centred on an
underground spy organisation that, after the
death of one of its colleagues, recruits aimless
yet promising young street punk Gary 'Eggsy'
Unwin, just as a corrupted tech genius ( Samuel
L Jackson) vows to wreak havoc on the world.
Having proved his Kingsman worth in the
original, the follow-up is set to see Eggsy team
up with American agency Statesman in order to
save the world from their latest threat.
