During a conversation with comic book writer Mark Millar, IGN got the chance to ask a couple of questions about the upcoming sequel to director Matthew Vaughn’s spy caper Kingsman: The Secret Service – and specifically, the return of Colin Firth’s Galahad. Warning: spoilers for the first movie follow…
“That’s the conversation everyone’s having right now, because part of what made that movie work is Colin,” said Millar, when asked how Galahad can return given his death in the first movie. “Colin’s fantastic, it was a two-hander, that film. You also want to have the integrity of the story, so if you are bringing him back, it has to make sense. That’s where it is at at the moment. Beats of the story have been done. [Screenplay co-writers] Matthew Vaughn and Jane Goldman are working on it at the moment. Some things have to be worked out, some decisions have still to be made and everything, so it’s all fairly amorphous, but all going well.”
“It’s funny because there’s a lot of conversations like that, like should he have an evil brother, Colin with a mustache? Or is he a ghost or whatever?” Millar continues. “The guys have a plan. I can’t spoil it just now because the final decision is still to be made. It’ll be good. Vaughan’s funny. He’s done Layer Cake, Stardust, Kick-Ass, X-Men: First Class, and Kingsman. Even Spielberg had made 1941 by his third movie, so I trust him. He’s done five good movies.”
