The sequel to Kingsman: The Secret Service is once again seeking a Hollywood A-Lister to play its villain.  After a very different performance from Samuel L. Jackson (The Hateful Eight) in what was arguably 2015's best comic book movie, director Matthew Vaughn and 20th Century Fox are seeking Julianne Moore (Still Alice) to play the villain in the sequel?  

In the sequel, Taron Egerton's Eggsy will reportedly take the action from London to the U.S.  The Hollywood Reporter notes that  a deal is not final and that the potential for scheduling conflicts exists as Moore already has a few films on her docket.

The sequel currently has a June 16, 2017 release date.  The first film grossed $414.4 million worldwide from an estimated budget of $81 million.
