Kingsman: The Golden Circle
Here ’s why Roxy ’s unceremonious dying inKingsman : The Golden Circlewas a mistake . Director Matthew Vaughn ’s fruitful collaboration with Mark Millar began with 2010’sKick - Ass , which was adapted from Millar ’s graphical novel . The story surveil a stripling who decides to become a real - living superhero following an accident that leave alone him with a high pain in the neck verge . He soon gets sucked into a battle between a mob boss and father / girl vigilantes Big Daddy and Hit - Girl . The film became a winner , though sequelKick - Ass 2- which Vaughn bring forth or else of directing - was seen as a dashing hopes .
Matthew Vaughn next directedKingsman , which was again adapt by screenwriter Jane Goldman from a Millar comic . The movie follow Eggsy ( Taron Egerton , Rocketman ) who train to become a spy in an elite organization known as The Kingsman . He ’s mentored by Harry Hart ( Colin Firth ) , with the distich team up up to take down Samuel L. Jackson ’s supervillain . The film was something of an homage to Roger Moore era James Bond and featured a witty script and peachy action . The pic was a resounding smash , which led to 2017’sKingsman : The Golden Circle . While the film was another striking it get a more mixed response , with certain story elements - including a distasteful sex tantrum - being criticize in reviews .

For some , one of the gravid issues withKingsman : The Golden Circlewas it lacked the heart of the original . The first movie had its share of violence and non - PC humour , but it was grounded by its relationships . Chief among these was the friendship between Eggsy and Roxy , who both school to join The Kingsman . Unlike the other snobby campaigner who look down on Eggsy , she plow him with respect , and the pair help oneself each other out during training . Roxy proves to be an exceptional agent too - despite a fear of tiptop - and eventually wins the title of Lancelot over Eggsy . Nonetheless , she , Eggsy and Merlin exercise together in the closing curtain to take down villain Valentine ’s design .
Roxy became a rooter favourite and a sequel should have give her more elbow room to acquire . Sadly , the character - aboard every Kingsman aside from Eggsy and Merlin - is blow up by a missile in the first deed ofKingsman : The Golden Circle . This obviously raises the wager and do things personal for Eggsy , but it also felt like a sleazy death for a persona with lots of potential . Another element that hurt the continuation is the ludicrous Resurrection of Christ of Firth ’s Harry . The death of Harry was a major turning point inKingsmanand underlined the peril facing Eggsy , but it ’s revealed in the sequel he was saved by the Statesman , who applied a magical gelatin that repairs the brain damage cause by his headshot .
While Colin Firth is neat in the function , this flippant resurrection cheapens the spectacular encroachment of his dying . It also highlights how pointless Roxy ’s death was , sinceKingsman : The Golden Circleseemingly kill her to make way for young character ’s like Channing Tatum ’s Agent Tequila - who is quickly sidelined due to Tatum having schedule conflict withLogan Luckyduring yield . Roxy could have easily fill Tequila or Harry ’s role , or just been worked into the narrative in another way of life . Some fans are promising Roxy somehow escaped the plosion and could return for a futureKingsmanmovie . Given that they ’ve pulled that caper once with Harry Hart , it ’s unlikely they ’ll extract it again to resurrect Roxy - even though she deserved well .
