Plot Summary


As Eggsy Unwin (Taron Egerton) navigates the aftermath of saving humanity from Richmond Valentine’s diabolical plan, a year has passed since he donned the mantle of Galahad, following in the footsteps of his mentor Harry Hart (Colin Firth). Living with Crown Princess Tilde of Sweden (Hanna Alstrom), Eggsy thought he had found a sense of peace. However, his tranquility is shattered when former Kingsman trainee Charlie Hesketh (Edward Holcroft) emerges, his cybernetic arm seeking revenge. A high-speed car chase ensues as Eggsy evades Charlie’s henchmen and their relentless pursuit, but it becomes apparent that Charlie has hacked into the Kingsman servers, setting the stage for a catastrophic event.

Meanwhile, back at headquarters, Lancelot (Sophie Cookson) uncovers the sinister truth behind Charlie’s cohorts: they were part of a well-orchestrated mafia organization. Her findings hint at a larger conspiracy, but it’s too late. A barrage of missiles obliterates the Kingsman headquarters and annihilates every agent in Britain, leaving Eggsy and Merlin (Mark Strong) as the sole surviving members.

As they follow the Doomsday protocol, Eggsy and Merlin stumble upon Statesman, a clandestine American organization masquerading as a Bourbon whiskey distillery in Kentucky. There, they discover that Harry Hart has miraculously survived Valentine’s gunshot wound but is now suffering from amnesia. Champagne (Jeff Bridges), the head of Statesman, briefs them on the existence of The Golden Circle, a terrorist organization with ties to Poppy Adams (Julianne Moore), the ruthless leader of the world’s largest drug cartel.

As Eggsy and his new partner, Whiskey (Pedro Pascal), delve deeper into the mystery, they track down Clara Von Gluckfberg (Poppy Delevingne), Charlie’s ex-girlfriend. At the Glastonbury Festival, Eggsy successfully implants a tracking device on Clara, but his revelation of their mission to Princess Tilde strains their relationship. With Harry’s memories still elusive, Eggsy resorts to drastic measures to trigger his mentor’s recollections.

The stakes are raised when Poppy Adams broadcasts a chilling message to the world, revealing her sinister plan to lace every recreational drug with a deadly toxin. The toxin causes users to develop blue rashes before progressing through mania, paralysis, and ultimately, death. In a desperate bid to save humanity, she offers the antidote in exchange for the President of the United States (Bruce Greenwood) ending his country’s War on Drugs and granting her organization immunity.

As the President’s plan unfolds, a clever ruse is employed to seemingly collaborate with Poppy, while secretly orchestrating a catastrophic fate for those affected by her deadly toxin. The Chief of Staff, Fox (Emily Watson), falls victim to this sinister scheme, alongside countless others. Meanwhile, Eggsy, Harry, and Whiskey embark on a perilous journey to Italy’s antidote factory after intercepting Clara’s distress call to Charlie. However, their mission is compromised when Whiskey’s treachery is revealed during a tense standoff with The Golden Circle’s henchmen.

Eggsy manages to pilfer an antidote sample, but its potency is short-circuited by Whiskey’s brutal intervention. As chaos erupts, Harry takes aim and silences Whiskey permanently, his suspicions validated by the alpha-gel that had earlier saved him from certain doom at Statesman’s hands.

Princess Tilde’s frantic phone call reaches Eggsy, warning of her own affliction, as the blue rash spreads its deadly grasp. With Harry and Merlin by his side, Eggsy uncovers Poppy’s hidden lair, “Poppy Land”, in Cambodia, a fortress that must be breached to claim the remote control controlling the antidote drones.

Upon arrival, Eggsy narrowly avoids a fatal land mine, thanks to Merlin’s selfless sacrifice, which takes down the lair’s guards. The duo then charges into Poppy’s stronghold, where Eggsy eliminates Charlie and Harry dispatches her robotic attack dogs with Elton’s assistance.

As they secure the briefcase containing the access code, Eggsy injects Poppy with a potent dose of her own toxin, extracting the password before she succumbs to an overdose. However, their plan is foiled by Whiskey’s unexpected arrival, driven by a personal vendetta against drug users after losing his wife in crossfire.

Eggsy and Harry engage in a brutal battle, ultimately dispatching Whiskey, and then release the antidote drones, saving millions worldwide from certain death.

In the aftermath, Chief of Staff Fox orchestrates the President’s impeachment for conspiring to commit genocide on the victims. Meanwhile, Champ announces Statesman’s acquisition of a Scottish distillery to aid in Kingsman’s rebuilding efforts.

To avoid confusion over two agents using the code-name “Galahad”, Champagne offers Eggsy or Harry the title of Whiskey, but they decline, allowing Ginger Ale (Halle Berry) to take on the role. Eggsy marries Princess Tilde, while Tequila relocates to London to join Kingsman’s ranks.
