CHANNING TATUM has joined the cast of “Kingsman: The Golden Circle,” Matthew Vaughn’s sequel to his 2014 action-spy hit, the actor tweeted Wednesday.

    Taron Egerton and Mark Strong are the returning cast members and Colin Firth is due to return as well, although in what capacity remains shrouded. The movie is casting up as it heads into a production start in early May in London. Julianne Moore, Halle Berry and Pedro Pascal are among the new cast members named on the roll call.

    The sequel continues the adventures of a wayward tough (Egerton) from the wrong side of London who was taken in and, a la Pygmalion, turned into the best and brightest of British operatives.

    Tatum’s role is unclear as he was offered several. The parts ranged from supporting to cameos. (SD-Agencies)
