SAN DIEGO (AP) – Taron Egerton is no match for Channing Tatum in a fight and Halle Berry can hold her liquor. Those are just a few of the messages Comic-Con audiences got Thursday at the Hall H panel for “Kingsman: The Golden Circle” that kicked off the annual fan convention.

The raucous panel promoting the spy sequel went to a new level when Berry downed the half a pint of whiskey that Tatum poured for her in one gulp. Berry and Tatum are new additions to the franchise as American spies called the Statesman.

Audiences also saw a few sequences from the film, including one where Egerton faces off against Tatum’s Kentucky cowboy and loses. Egerton says he is nothing compared to Tatum strength-wise.

“Kingsman: The Golden Circle” hits theaters Sept. 22.
