While many had expected Tony Masters from the comic books, Marvel provided one of their usual twists in making the character the gifted daughter of villain Dreykov. Once the revelation had been made, and based on the very themes of the movie, it made perfect sense that they wouldn’t want the strongest character - with the ability to mimic and take on the ability of any adversary - to turn out to be anything but unexpected....

Matthew Vaughn, who is co-producing the upcoming Elton John biopicRocketmanalongside Paramount Pictures, has described the movie as “the first R-rated musical,” including “drugs, sex, [and] rock’n’roll.” Matthew Vaughn’s production company Marv Studios will have a big hand in the upcoming biopic, and given a number of their previous movies such asKingsman, it’s understandable that this movie will be raunchy.
