Not too long ago, there was a report floating around that stated Sir Elton John was up for a role in “Kingsman: The Golden Circle”. It officially panned out yesterday, and Sir Elton himself confirmed it with a poster that could only come from him. 

The famed music star took to his official Instagram to deploy the fitting poster for “Kingsman: The Golden Circle”. With a pair of sunglasses that are reminiscent of something he would have worn back in his 1970's-era performances, and the quote “Wednesday night's alright for fighting”, the teaser poster to Matthew Vaughn's action-comedy sequel looks like it'll quite possibly see John playing himself, or a character very much like himself.

While Sir Elton claims that this is his first film role since 1975's “Tommy”, the standard length of a film performance by Sir Elton John isn't an extensive affair. Keeping that in mind, Sir Elton did have cameo appearances in two music themed films, “Spice World” and “The Country Bears”, as well as played the narrator in “The Road to El Dorado” - an animated film which he also wrote several songs for.

With the level of seriousness the spy fiction series has taken itself with, a larger-than-life laugh is certainly not out of order when it comes to the 2017 sequel, and Sir Elton would be just the type of celebrity to bring that sort of moment to life.
