When Ben discovers a puzzling clue in his home and Rose reads an enticing headline in the newspaper, both children set out on quests to find what they are missing that unfold with mesmerizing symmetry.’

Julianne Moore May Be Kingsman 2’s Villain

By

julianne-mooreThe always excellent Julianne Moore might be bringing out her villainous side soon, as THR reports she’s been offered the bad guy role in Kingsman 2. Assuming she does sign up, Taron Egerton will be back in action trying to stop her.

There’s not too much info on the plot, and nothing about who Moore would be playing. However, in interviews Egerton has enthused about the script, and suggested the new villain is just a good, if not better, than Samuel L. Jackson in the first movie.

It’ not too surprising that Colin Firth won’t be back, but Matthew Vaughn will once more direct. The film will shoot this summer, with a June 16th, 2017 release date already set.
