Your support makes all the difference.Kingsman: The Secret Service was by far and away a surprise hit, wowing audiences across the world, so of course a sequel The Golden Circle was going to be made.
With the cast already quite sizeable - Colin Firth’s character having been confirmed to return - it looks set to expand yet again as Game of Thrones’ Pedro Pascal has been cast as the aptly named Jack Daniels.
Having won over legions of fans playing Oberyn Martell, this will mark Pascal’s first major role in a Hollywood blockbuster.
His character is reportedly a “swaggering, sharpshooting cowboy” who will work closely with Halle Berry’s character - the head of the American equivalent of The Secret Service, Statesmen.
Chances are they’ll team up with the British service to defeat Julianne Moore’s ‘brilliantly written’ villain.
The first Kingsman film grossed over £260 million at the global box office early last year, with Samuel L Jackson starring as evil billionaire Richmond Valentine.
Kingsman: The Golden Circle is expected to reach cinemas on 16 June 2017. Read everything we know so far about the film, here.
