Posted on Tuesday, February 17th, 2015 by Russ Fischer
There is no Kingsman 2, at least right now.Matthew Vaughn‘s film Kingsman: The Secret Service opened this past weekend, and did solid business behind Fifty Shades of Grey. We don’t know of sequel plans as yet for the film based on the comic book series by Mark Millar and Dave Gibbons. But there’s always a chance — a good chance, given the way these things tend to go. And so Matthew Vaughn is airing some of his Kingsman 2 ideas, which include possible options for the character played by Colin Firth.
Note that spoilers for Kingsman: The Secret Service follow.
No, really, there are big Kingsman spoilers from here on out.
Empire talked to Vaughn, who said there are ideas being batted around to bring Colin Firth back for the sequel, despite the fact that his character Harry is shot and killed in the first film. (Even though his death is seen in a long shot that leaves just enough room for doubt about the true outcome.) Of the decision to go through with that choice, Vaughn says,
It was a big decision, but you have to make a decision that’s right for the movie. I’m sure George Lucas had people saying, “Are you sure we want to kill off Alec Guinness in Star Wars?'”
