It’s been all go on the casting front for Kingsman: The Golden Circle in the last few weeks, with Channing Tatum, Halle Berry, Julianne Moore, and, would you believe it, Elton John joining Matthew Vaughn’s highly anticipated spy sequel alongside the returning Taron Egerton, Mark Strong, and Colin Firth. Now, another casting announcement has come our way, and congratulations Mr. Vaughn, you have won at casting with the news that Jeff Bridges is coming onboard, no doubt playing a member of The Kingsman’s American counterpart, The Statesman.
The Golden Circle casting so far has been accompanied by specialised posters, and Bridges’ comes with the most perfect Jeff Bridges infused poster ever, complete with glass of scotch and the word ‘vexing’. No word on who will be playing at this stage, but with a character named Jack described as a ‘swaggering, sharp shooting cowboy’ you would think that casting the one time Rooster Cogburn in this role would be a no brainer, but with Game of Thrones’ Pedro Pascal cast as someone called Jack Daniels, that role may already be snapped up. No matter who ends up playing, there is no denying this latest addition goes a long to making Kingsman: The Golden Circle an early contender for best cast of 2017.
