Tuesday was the day comic book movie fans and filmgoers alike got some pretty cool eye candy highlighting 20th Century Fox’s upcoming release of the new live action thriller, Kingsmen: The Secret Service. Joined by newcomer Taron Egerton, the film also offers one of very few action roles Firth is known for, having reportedly spent three hours a day for six months training for his role with stunt coordinator and fellow Jackie Chan cohort, Brad Allan. And the result is what we now get to see in the first of several set pics courtesy of EW, along with a new teaser trailer which you can take a look at below.
Kingsmen: The Secret Service reteams helmer Matthew Vaughan with comic book author Mark Millar, who both share respective credits on delivering the R-rated 2010 live-action success, Kick-Ass. Based on Millar’s 2012 comic book publication of the same name with co-author Dave Gibbons (“Watchmen”), the film sees Firth starring as an elite super spy faced with mentoring his young, unrefined nephew, played by newcomer Taron Egerton. The film also stars Samuel L. Jackson and Michael Caine and is set to release in the U.S. on October 24, 2014.
