First Look At The Secret Service

The first set photos from the upcoming big-screen adaptation of Mark Millar's The Secret Service are out.

The Kick-Ass writer's comic series follows a veteran MI6 agent who decides to take his hoodie-loving tearaway nephew under his wing and train him up to be a spy. Colin Firth and Taron Egerton are playing the leads, and they can be seen in the set photos here.

Matthew Vaughn is set to direct (and he co-wrote the script with regular collaborator Jane Goldman), and the film also stars Sir Michael Caine and Samuel L. Jackson.

It's not just the main roles that have big-name clout, either. As well as a confirmed cameo by Sir Elton John, Colin Firth has apparently approached David Beckham with regards to filming a cameo for the movie, although Becks has yet to commit.

With much of the Kick-Ass crew on board behind the scenes, and the always-likable Firth leading the way on-screen, this may well be one to look out for.


The Secret Service is due to release in the US on the 14th of November 2014. A UK release date has yet to be set.
