The second installment of the Kingsman movie franchise isn\u2019t set to hit theaters until June 16, 2017, but we have learned that Sir Elton John will have a role in it. Yesterday (May 16), the singer confirmed that he will be appearing in Kingsman: The Golden Circle.
\n\u201cIt\u2019s been a long time since Tommie\u2026.. #Kingsman,\u201d he wrote in an Instagram post, referring to the 1975 film adaptation of the Who\u2018s rock opera, in which he played the Pinball Wizard, with his cover of \u201cPinball Wizard\u201d reaching No. 7 in England. He\u2019s also played himself in the Spice Girls\u2018 1997 movie Spice World, and won a Best Original Song Oscar for \u201cCan You Feel the Love Tonight\u201d from The Lion King.<\/p>\n
Kingsman: The Golden Circle director Matthew Vaughan had hoped to get John into the first film, 2015\u2019s Kingsman: The Secret Service, but he wound up cutting the scenes he had written for the singer. \u201cI was umming and ahhing \u2019cause it had a whole fun subplot about celebrities being kidnapped,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd I had an idea of, who\u2019s the worst celebrity you\u2019d want to have locked in a cell? And I came up with Elton John. Having Elton John throwing these huge tantrums. And then I wanted to do an action scene of Elton John kicking the living daylights out of people.\u201d
\nTauros Egerton, Mark Strong and Colin Firth are reprising their roles as, respectively, Gary \u201cEggsy\u201d Unwin, Marlin and Harry Heart in the spy comedy. Julianne Moore and Channing Tatum also signed on to the project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
