Also set to join the sequel is Elton John, who, according to the Hollywood Reporter, is in talks for a role in the movie. It's unknown what role the singer would be playing, or if he will simply play himself. 

Kingsman: The Secret Service starred newcomer Taron Egerton, Colin Firth and Samuel L. Jackson as the movie's villain. It told the story of Eggsy, a part-time ne'er-do-well and full-time loud mouth who looks all set for a life of petty crime until he is offered the chance to try out to become a Kingsman, a highly secretive, but extremely badass set of super spies, who step in to prevent international calamities.

In the sequel Julianne Moore will take over as the key villain, while Halle Berry has already been cast in a key role. 

The sequel to Kingsman: The Secret Service will be released in July 2017. You can order the first movie from our online store on the right-hand side of the page.
