20th Century Fox finally released a full trailer for Kingsman: The Golden Circle. However, I feel too many unnecessary teasers kill all the fun. In 11 hours, it generated about 3.2M views, not an impressive number. I think it will do much better if they didn't release the two previous teasers. Also the creator of the Kingsman comics announced that

I know which misogyny part you were referring to. Is it the scene between the young kid Eggsy and the princess? I think many people feel the same way. Judging from the trailer, Eggsy will keep playing a ladies' man. The filmmakers want to make him a modern day young Bond. I personally don't find Taron Egerton/Eggsy physically attractive at all. He is just too short, not just his height, but his face too. But Taron Egerton has a lot of very passionate fans, and some of them were worried about Channing overshadowing him in the second movie.
Like you, I am okay with the first movie, but I don't think it's great. Now Channing is cast, I hope the second one will be entertaining and a financial success. If The Golden Circle performs well, it might mean that Channing will have another franchise. It's likely they will expand his role in the third instalment.
Also Kingsman has a big slash fandom. One of the most popular pairings is Harry Hart/Eggsy, so the fandom is thrilled to learn Harry Hart is back. However, I feel the twist might be that this Harry Hart is not the real Harry Hart. We'll find out soon.

And, yes, that's the scene. Strange, I'm usually not shocked by sexuality when it is consensual, and yet there was something obnoxious ans mean spirited about this. Or maybe I'm being ageist about the hero? Somehow, it seems to me he hasn't earned it. Yes, the James Bond figure should get to score, but you don't expect him to go around bribing a pretty hostage liberation against some sex. It annoyed me and made me dislike the character, even if the princess seems to be into it.
Maybe some teenage boys identify to him? He is not exactly handsome or that clever but he gets to win over everybody and the elite girl lets him treat her like dirt.
Anyway, I will still watch the film.
