[up] A friend of mine was suspecting the same. Hell, I have to admit that in some ways, they do look kinda, vaguely similar.

Eggsy: I don't need your help, Channing Tatum's character!
Tatum's character: Nobody needs America's help! Until they need it!

I actually brought up the possibility of him surviving the headshot (though my idea is that Valentine is a poor aim, having never shot anyone before, and his distress on actually personally killing someone meant he didn't bother to check if he'd actually killed Harry).

Still it's pretty unlikely at that range, and with the condition Harry was in, he'd have died before he could get to a hospital.

wild mass guess There was someone else who survived the Church massacre (maybe they got knocked out earlier in the fight and didn't come to until it was over) and that person came out, saw Harry on the ground and took him to a hospital.wild mass guess

I'm not sure that these films will necessarily concern themselves with "plausibility." The fact that Harry emerged from that chaos with little more than the wind knocked out of him, doesn't exactly scream "plausible" either.

Well, he's a highly trained One-Man Army already.

Even under the effects of a wavelength that drives everyone murderously insane, he seemed to know exactly what he was doing (even if he couldn't control it) being precise, taking out foes quickly, and improvising (not to mention he suit was well armoured).

He was also one of the most (if not the most since we don't know if any of the other dudes there had any military training, and even if they did probably not on the level of Harry's) skill guys in that room.

It also helped that for every person he killed, they were two other people murdering each other, which meant the number of people trying to kill him was constantly shrinking.

I'm not going to get into guessing if/how Harry survived, but I do have a problem with the "Valentine was a newbie who disliked violence to start with" explanation: Gazelle. He may not be into violence, but she is, and I think she'd have noticed if the round had gone through at a possibly survivable angle instead of straight into the center of the brain.

And even for total gun newbie, missing while at point-blank range is ridiculous.

Considering how little the movie cares about realism, if Harry is back, he could be A) a cyborg B) resurrected.

I am still of the opinion that The Golden Circle is about a wedding, and they have to steal the wedding ring to prevent a global disaster.

I think that original poster is playing you - there's been lots of speculation regarding that persons return since straight after the first film, before a sequel was on the table. What Millar/Vaughn are doing is holding up a bunch of keys and saying 'look at the shiny'.

[up][up] There've already been a couple of set photos with Colin Firth present. While, yes, I do think it's possible that he might actually be a figment of Eggsy's imagination in the sequel, it's pretty certain by this point that Harry Hart has some kind of presence in the film. Unless the crew wants to be real assholes to us.

I'm not sure he knows. He's too busy with eight year-olds and playing ten-pin bowling. Oh wait, you don't mean the Jesus from the Big Lebowski, do you? Oops...

Vinnie Jones has now joined the cast.

From the looks of it he could be playing The Dragon to Julianne Moore's Big Bad.

Nice. Vinnie Jones, in his limited range, is an extremely good actor. He's never going to play the Prince of Denmark that Shakespeare totally cocked up the story of, but that's a good thing as far as I'm concerned.
