Kingsman: The Golden Circle director/co-writer Matthew Vaughn has explained why the sequel originally included references to Donald Trump that he ultimately chose to omit.
However, one line that Vaughn wasn’t willing to cross with The Golden Circle involved making reference to Donald Trump.
Both the filmmaker and the Kingsman franchise are no strangers to controversy; from including an unsubtle reference to anal sex in the first Kingsman movie to staging the now-infamous “Glastonbury scene” in The Golden Circle, Vaughn continues to cross lines.
I think America’s going through a pretty interesting and rough ride at the moment and I wanted this movie to be escapism.
