Colin Firth Could Return For The KINGSMAN: THE SECRET SERVICE Sequel
Matthew Vaughn's deliriously entertaining adaptation of Mark Millar's comic is currently performing very well at the Box Office so a sequel is likely. Will Colin Firth's character be back? Click on to find out what the director has to say about that, but beware of major SPOILERS.
Seriously, if you haven't seen the movie yet you are advised not to read any further... okay?
Last chance!
So, after an insane action sequence inside a church sees Colin Firth's Harry Hart dispatch pretty much an entire congregation of religious fanatics (in the most violent ways possible), the disorientated Kingsman agent wanders outside only to be shot in the head by Samuel L. Jackson's hemophobic villain, Valentine. It's a shocker no doubt, but is Hart really dead?
During an interview with USA Today director Matthew Vaughn hints that Firth, at least, might be returning for the planned sequel. “A lot of people are very upset that Colin might not be in the sequel but I’m coming up with ideas at the moment," he revealed. "If people buy tickets in America, I’ve got a feeling we’ll figure out a way for having Colin back.” Now he only said Colin, not Harry, so is it possible we could see Firth in a different role? Or maybe just a flashback? In the type of spy/gadget/sleight-of-hand type world the movie establishes it's possible he's simply not really dead -- after all we never see a close up of his body after the shot drops him. Whatever they cook up, it'll be great to see Firth back in action. More from Vaughn at the link below.
