Because why the heck not?
Last month came the revelation that musician Sir Elton John was in talks for a role in the upcoming Kingsman: The Golden Circle, and the man himself has taken to Instagram to confirm the casting with a new poster for the film.
Parodying the previous poster for the film, which itself teased the return of Colin Firth’s Harry Hart, the image reads “Wednesday night’s alright for fighting” (a parody itself of John’s song “Saturday Night’s Alright for Fighting”) but also featuring a pair of his trademark sunglasses. “It’s been a long time since Tommy…..” John wrote in his post, citing the last time he acted in a feature film.
Kingsman shocked a lot of people by being pretty good, actually. I’m actually mildly hopeful that the sequel won’t suck. Shoot, if it’s got Elton John in it, maybe he’ll write some songs for the flick. That’d be pretty cool, actually.
. Which was a movie that was also better than perhaps it had any real right to be.
