The second installment of the Kingsman movie franchise isn\u0092t 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\u0093It\u0092s been a long time since Tommie\u0085.. #Kingsman,\u0094 he wrote in an Instagram post, referring to the 1975 film adaptation of the Who\u0091s rock opera, in which he played the Pinball Wizard, with his cover of \u0093Pinball Wizard\u0094 reaching No. 7 in England. He\u0092s also played himself in the Spice Girls\u0091 1997 movie Spice World, and won a Best Original Song Oscar for \u0093Can You Feel the Love Tonight\u0094 from The Lion King.<\/p>\n
Kingsman: The Golden Circle director Matthew Vaughan had hoped to get John into the first film, 2015\u0092s Kingsman: The Secret Service, but he wound up cutting the scenes he had written for the singer. \u0093I was umming and ahhing \u0092cause it had a whole fun subplot about celebrities being kidnapped,\u0094 he said. \u0093And I had an idea of, who\u0092s the worst celebrity you\u0092d 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.\u0094
\nTauros Egerton, Mark Strong and Colin Firth are reprising their roles as, respectively, Gary \u0093Eggsy\u0094 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":"
