Matthew Vaughn's KINGSMAN: THE GOLDEN CIRCLE Adds X-MEN: THE LAST STAND's Vinnie Jones
In a funny series of tweets, X-Men: The Last Stand actor Vinnie Jones has revealed that he's joined the already impressive cast of Matthew Vaughn's upcoming sequel, Kingsman: The Golden Circle!
Eighteen years after making his acting debut in the Matthew Vaughn-produced Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, former soccer player-turned-actor Vinnie Jones is reuniting with Vaughn for 20th Century Fox's highly anticipated Kingsman: The Golden Circle.
Jones revealed the news himself on his recently reactivated Twitter account by posting a series of videos and photos of him on-set and in costume. Details on his role are unavailable, but considering one of the photos he posted features him alongside Academy Award-winner Julianne Moore, who's playing the film's main villain, it's probably safe to assume his character will also be one of a nefarious nature.
In addition to Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Jones worked with Vaughn again two years later on Snatch. He's also made a few treks into the comic book movie genre, first starring as Cain Marko a.k.a. the unstoppable Juggernaut in Brett Ratner's X-Men: The Last Stand and recently starred as Danny Brickwell in four episodes of the CW's Arrow. His other more prominent credits include, but are not limited to, Gone In Sixty Seconds, EuroTrip, She's The Man, Year One, Chuck, Elementary, and Galavant. Jones can be seen next in Antoine Fuqua's remake of The Magnificent Seven.
