'Kingsman: The Golden Circle' TV Spots: Is Statesman Compensating For Something?
We're just under a month from the return of Kingsman, the British secret agent organization that saved the world from a diabolical scheme involving mind control. This time there's a new threat who strikes a crushing blow against Kingsman, leaving them without a headquarters and in desperate need of allies. That's where Statesman comes in
Kingsman: The Golden Circle has Kingsman taking refuge with their American cousins known as Statesman, who operate out of a whiskey distillery. Both organizations were founded at the same time, and working together may be the only way to stop a deadly new villain. However, even though Kingsman and Statesman must work together, it's clear there are some differences that make for a somewhat confrontational working environment. You'll see what I mean in a batch of new Kingsman The Golden Circle TV spots below.
As you can see, there are several differences between Kingsman and Statesman. First, there are baseball hand grenades, Statesman whiskey certainly has more bite to it than the Kingsman are used to, and Channing Tatum's character is clearly a little less reserved about the proceedings. But Eggsy (Taron Egerton) takes a special notice of a certain item carried by Pedro Pascal's character, which may give some indication as to why Statesman feel like they have to drive around in such big cars.
Kingsman: The Secret Service was a thoroughly enjoyable and refreshing action comedy when it arrived a few years ago, and I'm glad the irreverent humor and gratuitous violence appears to be on par with what we saw in the first film. Here's hoping director Matthew Vaughn can deliver another unique adventure that doesn't just lazily tread the same territory as the first film.
