Kingsman 2: The Golden Circle sees your teaser trailers, raises you this actual teaser

Blink and you will literally miss everything in the teaser trailer for Kingsman 2: The Golden Circle.

The promotional campaign for the upcoming sequel takes the word “teaser” literally in a new trailer released Tuesday: The clip intentionally crams a disorienting blur of action, explosions, and stars like Halle Berry and Channing Tatum (who appears to be in Brokeback Mountain cosplay) — along with less-expected images of butterflies, cheeseburgers, and a vintage theater marquee — into 15 seconds’ worth of rapid-fire frames.

To make the viewing experience easier, I slowed down the teaser and turned it into a GIF, where you can really see Tatum in all of his Jack Twist glory, a chase scene, and all the clues you may have (more like probably) missed, along with the blink-and-you’ll miss-it tagline, “A proper spy movie.”

According to the movie’s IMDB synopsis, “the Kingsman's journey leads them to the discovery of an allied spy organization in the US” and the two organizations will come together to defeat a common enemy — not that you would get any of that from the sped-up trailer.

On the other hand, you’ve got to admire the cheekiness behind this “teaser” trailer. In a movie-marketing culture where we’re inundated with teaser trailers, official trailers, and sometimes even teases for teaser trailers, Kingsman 2’s preview feels like a delightfully defiant jab at that phenomenon.

Kingsman 2: The Golden Circle hits theaters on September 29, 2017.

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?

Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple reasons that we can't rely only on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on.

First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.

Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. We can’t do that if we have a paywall.

That’s why we also turn to you, our readers, to help us keep Vox free. If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today?
