"Magic Mike" star Channing Tatum receives praises from Taron Egerton as the production for "Kingsman 2" or "Kingsman: The Golden Circle" ends. Egerton said that the sequel is going to be an incredible one.

Egerton praised Tatum in an interview that Tatum is such a great guy and is brilliant in the "Kingsman: The Golden Circle" even if he was only around for a couple of weeks, as Comicbook reported. He also could not help but look proud of his supporting co-stars Halle Berry playing as the Central Intelligence Agency director and Julianne Moore reportedly playing a villain.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Tatum just recently joined the cast of "Kingsman: The Golden Circle." His role is unclear as he was offered several. The parts ranged from supporting to cameos. He can even end up playing himself. Rumors suggest that Tatum will play a secret agent with the Statesman, the U.S. counterpart to the Kingsmen.

Egerton and Mark Strong are the returning cast members in the "Kingsman: The Golden Circle." Colin Firth is due to return as well, although in what capacity remains shrouded. The production started in early May in London. Among the new cast members named include Moore, Berry, and Pedro Pascal.

The upcoming sequel "Kingsman: The Golden Circle" continues the adventures of a wayward tough (Egerton) from the wrong side of London who was taken in and, a la Pygmalion, turned into the best and brightest of British operatives.

To recall, the original "Kingsman: The Secret Service" was based on the comic book "The Secret Service." It was created by Dave Gibbons and Mark Millar. It is about the training of a potential secret agent taking on a global threat from Richmond Valentine (Samuel L. Jackson).

Egerton confirmed that they just finished filming the Kingsman 2 or "Kingsman: The Golden Circle." The sequel will be directed by Matthew Vaughn once again and penned by Jane Goldman. It is scheduled to be released on June 16, 2017.
