What's left behind the scenes

  • Jeff Bridges’s character does not wear a beard or mustache. The actor appears on screen clean-shaven for the first time since the release of George LaV’s drama “Year of the Dog” in 2009.
  • Director Matthew Vaughn admitted that he initially doubted the need for a sequel: “I didn’t know if I wanted to make this film. I was worried about the villain, as the success of spy films largely depends on the villain. But one day I woke up and realized what story and what villain I needed.”
  • Before the release of 'Kingsman: The Secret Service,' Mark Millar and Matthew Vaughn stated that a sequel would be possible if the first film performed well at the box office. Vaughn expressed interest in returning as the film's director. Strong was also interested in returning to the role of Merlin.
  • In the dance scene under the influence of the virus, Channing Tatum was able to improvise all of his character's moves thanks to his dancing skills.
  • The original cut of the film ran for 3 hours and 40 minutes. There was so much content that the management of 20th Century Fox asked the film's director, screenwriter, and producer Matthew Vaughn if he wanted to split it into two feature films. Vaughn declined and cut the film down to a runtime of 2 hours and 21 minutes.
  • In the wedding scene at the end of the film, Colin Firth's character claims that one of the founders of the secret service once said: 'This is not the end, it is not even the beginning of the end, but it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.' In reality, this is a quote from Winston Churchill's book 'The Second World War,' implying that Churchill himself had a hand in the creation of the secret service.

  • On April 14, 2016, Tatum posted a teaser poster on his Twitter account, similar to the one hinting at Colin Firth's return, with aviator glasses and the caption: 'My mom always told me you Brits taught us Southerners good manners.'
  • Initially, the role of Tequila (played by Channing Tatum) was intended to be more significant, but Tatum was busy filming Steven Soderbergh's crime comedy "Logan Lucky" (2017), and some scenes were rewritten to feature a character named Whiskey (played by Pedro Pascal).
