Elton John's Cameo in 'Kingsman: The Golden Circle' Had a Surprising Impact
The Rocketman Connection
Elton John's brief appearance in the 2017 film 'Kingsman: The Golden Circle' may have seemed like a strange addition to the spy thriller sequel, but it turned out to be a key moment in the musician's career.
Leading to 'Rocketman'
As it turned out, John's cameo in the film, where he played a fictionalized version of himself, directly influenced the development of his 2019 biopic 'Rocketman'. The film's director, Dexter Fletcher, was working on 'Kingsman: The Golden Circle' when he met John, and their interaction inspired him to pursue the 'Rocketman' project.
John's Unconventional Cameo
John's appearance in 'The Golden Circle' was anything but conventional. While he did play himself, the character was far removed from the piano-playing icon the public knows. Instead, John participated in a violent brawl and even handled a flamethrower.
New Title and Plot Teasers
In other 'Kingsman' news, the sequel to 'The Golden Circle' has finally received its official title: 'Kingsman: The Blue Blood'. Director Matthew Vaughn also released some intriguing plot teasers, hinting at a return of Eggsy Unwin (Taron Egerton) and a new villain played by Ralph Fiennes.
