Kingsman 2 casts a spoiler-y returning character

Holcroft’s character began the movie as a foil to Taran Egerton’s rough-around-the-edges hero, before eventually siding with Samuel L. Jackson and his plan to use evil SIM cards to transform the world’s population into the cast of a global Sam Peckinpah flick. Given that everyone on Team Bad Guy had their craniums popped at the film’s big climax, though, it was easy to assume that Hesketh had died; his just-announced return suggests that Egerton’s victory might have been less than complete. Or, alternatively, it might mean that Hesketh had a twin brother. Or a clone. Or that the second movie takes place in virtual reality. Honestly, we don’t know; it’s kind of hard to predict the plot comings-and-goings of a film that managed to shove Colin Firth, a woman with swords for legs, and anal sex jokes into the same, surprisingly successful package.
