Kingsman became quite a surprise hit when it came out. However, perhaps it isn't too surprising. This was Matthew Vaughn taking his second Mark Millar property after Kick-Ass, and doing that Matthew Vaughn thing of making it pretty good.

The second is hotly anticipated too, but sadly I have some bad news for you. While Alien: Covenant jumped up from October to May last night, it seems it was at the expense of Kingsman 2. The film has been pushed back to October 6th, so get comfy.

It's not exactly clear why the two movies did a switcheroo, but if Kingsman needs some more time to get finished, more power to it. More time probably means a better movie.
