KINGSMAN: THE GOLDEN CIRCLE (2017): Fox Moves Back Release Date

Fox Pushes Back Release Date For Kingsman: The Golden Circle

20th Century Fox has decided to change Kingsman: The Golden Circle‘s release date from June 16th, 2017 to October 6th, 2017.

The move is part of a larger shuffle at Fox that has also seen three of the studio’s Marvel films as well as an unidentified production given official release dates. It is unclear what this mystery project might be, but many suspect that it is the highly-anticipated Avatar 2:

Taron Egerton returns as Eggsy for Kingsman: The Golden Circle with Mark Strong reprising the role of Merlin from the first film. Halle Berry is appearing as the head of the CIA, Game of Thrones star Pedro Pascal will appear as a character conveniently named “Jack Daniels,” with Channing Tatum in an unknown role, and Julianne Moore playing the film’s central villain. Edward Holcroft is also set to appear in the film, though whether he will reprise as his character from the first is unclear. Sir Elton John will also make an appearance in his first acting role since The Pinball Wizard in 1975’s Tommy. The Dude himself, Jeff Bridges, is also appearing in an unknown role.

Matthew Vaughn returns to write and direct Kingsman: The Golden Circle, which sees Eggsy heading to the United States, where he’ll meet his match in a “swaggering, sharpshooting cowboy.”
