- Story Text:Kicking off the panels at this year's San Diego Comic-Con on Thursday (July 20), "Kingsman" sequel "Kingsman: The Golden Circle" brought Hollywood stars Colin Firth, Halle Berry, Channing Tatum, Taron Egerton and Jeff Daniels, to the delight of fans.
The film, based on a comic, brings back the team of Gary (Egerton) and Harry (Firth) but this time there's American involvement when the British agents meet their U.S. counterparts.
This is the second time that Firth has been to Comic-Con and he paid homage to the annual event at a press line after the panel, saying "I've been to countless film festivals and press events and some of them are wonderful, some of them are a little snooty, some are cynical and all about the market, some of them are small and intimate, this one, it's the kind of fan passion and you really feel like it's owned by fans."
