Three Actors Vying For Lead Role In Matthew Vaughn's THE SECRET SERVICE
With Colin Firth set to play 'Jack' and Leonardo DiCaprio rumoured to be the lead villain, director Matthew Vaughn has now set his sights on three young actors for the role of 'Gary' in his adaptation of Mark Millar and Dave Gibbons' The Secret Service. Hit the jump to find out who they are!
Variety has revealed that 20th Century Fox and Matthew Vaughn are considering Jack O'Connell (300: Rise of an Empire), John Boyega (Attack the Block) and Christian Cooke (Magic City) for the lead role of 'Gary' in The Secret Service. While Aaron Taylor-Johnson was initially considered to play the young secret agent mentored by his uncle, scheduling and money issues reportedly led to that not working out. While the studio may still opt to strike a deal with the Kick-Ass 2 and Godzilla star, Vaughn has zeroed in on these three - more may be added to the list - and is now screen testing them.
