British actor Mark Strong has spent many years working in Hollywood and has had the honor of sharing the big screen with some of the top names that the acting industry has to offer, showing just how far her has come in his acting career. Mark played the role of Merlin in the 2014 movie Kingsman: The Secret Service, a role which he has reprised for the new sequel Kingsman: The Secret Circle, and Strong has loved working with more top Hollywood stars.
Talking about taking the new movie over to the US and getting some of the top American stars on board for the sequel, Mark Strong admitted that he feels like he has definitely made it in Hollywood, as he got to share the big screen with Halle Berry. Mark also spoke about the other big name Hollywood stars who appear Kingsman: The Golden Circle, admitting that it made the whole experience feel a little different to the first film.
Strong admitted, "'Listen in life, if you can go into work and spend the day with Halle Berry, you're doing alright.
It felt similar but different which is kind what the film is. It ticks all the boxes of the first one but you've got this whole new bunch of characters which took it somewhere else. And being on set obviously first time around with Colin [Firth] and Taron [Egerton], I now had the joy of working with all the others with Halle and Channing and Jeff Bridges, so it was the same but different."
Kingsman: The Golden Circle is already out now in the UK, after being released on September 20, while the US still have to wait for just a little while longer, with the new film hitting the big screen on September 22.
