WHAT’S IT ABOUT?
After the events of the first film, Eggsy (Egerton) – now a fully-operational Kingsman secret agent – faces a new threat when a criminal mastermind known as Poppy (Moore) destroys the Kingsman headquarters and most of its agents. Now, teamed up with tech support Merlin (Strong), he must travel to the United States and form an alliance with the Statesman, their American counterpart, if they are to take down Poppy and save the free world…
IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?
The first film came out of nowhere to impress audiences and critics with its irreverent and violent sense of fun, so there’s more than a little hope that the star-studded sequel can recapture that feeling of ecstasy for another round of awesomeness.
