Yeah, that's right! Nice.
Liam Neeson joins Ralph Fiennes, Gemma Arterton, Charles Dance, Daniel Bruhl, Tom Hollander, Stanley Tucci, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Rhys Ifans, Dijmn Hounsou, Alexandra Maria Lara and Matthew Goode in Kingsman: The Great Game.

EDIT: Today Vaughn has confirmed these reports on Liam Neeson were false. He is not part of the cast.

Alexandra Maria Lara would have made an amazing Bond girl ten years ago. And Bruhl a great villain.

* Vaughn also confirmed this will not be the actual title of the film.
But after this and the third Eggsy film, please just let it end. I'm worried after the big universe announcement Vaughn made (prequel, Statesman spin off, TV series, etc) that he thinks Kingsman is a really original/inventive concept that could be a massive franchise. Happy to be proven wrong but I really don't think it is. It's meta James Bond with gore and swearing. Roger Moore turned up to 11 with Kick Ass/Scream esque self aware commentary. It was really fun at the time but once the novelty of that wears off all that's left is a cheap CGI filled Bond knock off.
Actually that's not entirely true, because the first one did have real heart with Eggsy's story and the class conflict stuff. But I think once that story is done the franchise is pretty much over. This prequel could be cool because of the novelty of it being a period piece (and we've never had a war time Bond film have we). But after that I hope he just finishes Eggsy's story and moves on. I really don't want them to keep milking it.
He has been,he was one of Kristatos' men in FYEO

I think the main villain whose face we don't seem to see is either Daniel Bruhl or Stanley Tucci
You are correct @RogueAgent! There will be a 'proper' Kingsman 3 coming in 2021.
Would you recommend them?
The first one is great, the second one is kinda terrible, but definitely worth watching.
In my mind Vaughn took all the wrong things from the first movie and made the second one, whereas this prequel seems to be taking all the right things from the first movie.
ok cool, will make time to try and view them asap.
I agree with @Denbigh, but I'll tell you one thing: the final battle in the 2nd Kingsman film is absolutely fantastic.
Thank you, will let you know my thoughts once I have seen them?
I don't know what you mean dear boy? :-? ;) :))
This looks like proper fun. Lovely trailer. Ralph kicking a**!
PS: BTW, how people think that James Bond done as a faithful adaptation of Fleming's novels, time frame and all, wouldn't work, is beyond me. EON could keep doing its thing, and then a big NETFLIX adaptation of the novels, directed by our very own Fukunaga and starring Aidan Turner, produced by EON as well, would satisfy the Fleming's fans. Or this Fleming fan, anyway.
