About Kingsman: The Golden Circle:
Kingsman:
The Secret Service introduced the world to Kingsman — an
independent, international intelligence agency operating at the
highest level of discretion, whose ultimate goal is to keep the
world safe. In Kingsman: The Golden Circle, our heroes face
a new challenge. When their headquarters are destroyed and the
world is held hostage, their journey leads them to the discovery of
an allied spy organization in the US called Statesman, dating
back to the day they were both founded. In a new adventure that
tests their agents' strength and wits to the limit, these two elite
secret organizations band together to defeat a ruthless common
enemy, in order to save the world, something that's becoming a bit
of a habit for Eggsy…
