Two years ago, Kingsman: The Secret Service was an unexpected hit, and it quickly raised the profile of the original comic by Mark Millar and Dave Gibbons. Later this week, director Matthew Vaughn will expand that world in Kingsman: The Golden Circle. Most of the major players are back from the first film, including Taron Egerton as Eggsy, Colin Firth as Harry Hart, and Mark Strong as Merlin. Now, in a newly released scene from the movie, fans will be introduced to Tequila (Channing Tatum), a leading agent from Statesman. As you can see in the clip, Tequila’s first encounter with Eggsy and Merlin doesn’t go so well for the Kingsman.
It appears Tequila has caught Eggsy and Merlin as they are attempting to break into Statesman. In the film, Julianne Moore is playing Poppy Adams, the leader of the criminal organization known as The Golden Circle. Poppy has targeted the Kingsman agents and sent them on the run, which is presumably why they are approaching their American counterparts. Those counterparts include Champagne, Jack Daniels, and Ginger Ale. Best code names ever? Possibly.
Will Tequila become best buds with Eggsy? Will the Statesman members rub their cooler names into the faces of the Kingsman group? We’ll get answers when Kingsman: The Golden Circle opens Friday, September 22.
What are your first impressions of Tatum’s Tequila? Declassify your thoughts in the comment section below.
