Colin Firth in talks to join 'The Secret Service'

British actor Colin Firth is in talks to bring comic book series 'The Secret Service' on the big screen.

Director Matthew Vaughn helped to create the graphic novels, about a scoundrel from a rough area of London who is recruited by his uncle to enrol in a top spy school, and "The King's Speech" star is tipped to take on the part of the relative, reported Contactmusic.

The lead role has yet to be cast; "Savages" actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson was previously linked to the main part, but was unavailable for the shoot.
