Kingsman: The Secret Service was an even bigger hit than expected earlier this year, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that a sequel is in the works. Colin Firth's death in the movie was necessary for the story and a genuinely shocking moment, but the follow-up won't be the same without him. That's why Matthew Vaughn is hoping to bring him back, but how the hell is that going to work after he was shot point blank in the head by Samuel L. Jackson's villain?! IGN put that to comic book writer Mark Millar in a recent interview, and he had this to say about the actor's possible return.
"That's the conversation everyone's having right now, because part of what made that movie work is Colin. Colin's fantastic, it was a two-hander, that film. You also want to have the integrity of the story, so if you are bringing him back, it has to make sense. That's where it is at at the moment. Beats of the story have been done. [Screenplay co-writers] Matthew [Vaughn] and Jane [Goldman] are working on it at the moment. Some things have to be worked out, some decisions have still to be made and everything, so it's all fairly amorphous, but all going well. It's funny because there's a lot of conversations like that, like should he have an evil brother, Colin with a mustache? Or is he a ghost or whatever? The guys have a plan. I can't spoil it just now because the final decision is still to be made. It'll be good."
