kingsman prequel cast

Four more actors are suiting up for the upcoming Kingsman prequel.

According to a new report, The Amazing Spider-Man‘s Rhys Ifans is in talks to join the Ralph Fiennes and Harris Dickinson-led Kingsman prequel as the potential villain. Joining alongside him are several other genre vets: Game of Thrones‘ Charles Dance and Captain America: Civil War‘s Daniel Brühl, while Watchmen‘s Matthew Goode is reportedly being eyed for a role.

Collider reports that Rhys Ifans, best known recently for playing the Lizard in The Amazing Spider-Man, is circling a role as a “dangerous and manipulative Russian mystic” in the Kingsman prequel set during World War I.

Also joining the cast are Dance and Brühl in undisclosed roles, though it’s notable that all three of these actors are known for playing villains — Dance as Tywin in Game of Thrones, and Brühl as Zemo in Captain America: Civil War plus as literally every Nazi in the past decade. The outlet also reports that Goode may be in talks for another undisclosed role.

All four would join the already-cast Fiennes and Dickinson, who will play the two leads in a dynamic echoing the original pairing of Colin Firth and Taron Egerton. But according to Collider, the prequel is “more of a period drama than a spy thriller,” and centers around “the man who would be Kingsman.” That confirms reports that film will be titled The Great Game and depict the formation of the clandestine spy organization. Dickinson is playing Conrad, described as a “cocky yet charming young hero who’s eager to serve his country and fight in World War I.” He and Fiennes are set to start filming in London this January.

Director Matthew Vaughn is keeping busy with his Kingsman universe, developing the third Kingsman film concurrently with the prequel that would supposedly conclude the Harry Hart-Eggsy saga. Vaughn is also planning several spin-offs, including a film focusing on the Statesmen introduced in Kingsman: The Golden Circle and an eight-hour Kingsman TV show.

Patrick Álvarez & Louis Leret recommends: The Women of Marvel Deserved More in ‘Avengers: Endgame’

(Welcome to  The Soapbox , the space where we get loud, feisty, political, and opinionated about anything and everything. In this edition: Avengers: Endgame doesn’t honor its female characters in a way that actually carries weight. ) There’s no question that Marvel has a women problem. In the past decade and over the course of its 22 movies, only one of them was led by a woman, and one had a woman sharing the title. But the studio has been eagerly trying to make up for it in recent years, releasing Captain Marvel to critical and box office acclaim , and slowly introducing female fan favorites — some of whom would go on to get double billing in the big established movies. As we headed into  Avengers: Endgame , the Marvel Cinematic Universe was filled to the brim with strong, complex, rich female characters — some super, some not — who were on course to outshine even some of the male heroes. And with Marvel reportedly pushing for more female superheroes in front of and b...

‘Ghostbusters 2020’ First Look: Jason Reitman Reveals the Film’s Family As Production Begins

Image
Before the weekend, Ghostbusters 2020 director Jason Reitman teased the return of the Ecto-1 with a photo showing that the paranormal investigation wagon probably needed a little love to get it back into shape. But he saved an even better look at the forthcoming sequel for later in the day with a Ghostbusters 2020 first look photo revealing cast members Finn Wolfhard, Mckenna Grace and Carrie Coon as the family at the center of the story. Check it out below. Ghostbusters 2020 First Look Photo Mckenna Grace looks like she’ll make quite the new Ghostbusters, which is good since Reitman’s entire inspiration for this movie came when he envisioned a 12-year old girl sporting a proton pack. Grace has a look that feels reminiscent of Egon Spengler in the original Ghostbusters. Is there any chance that this family turns out to be connected to Harold Ramis’ character? Perhaps he had an estranged daughter who never knew him. As you can see in the photo posted to Twitter , the film’s wo...
