‘Kingsman 3’ Already Has A Script, Taron Egerton Confirms
Matthew Vaughnis rapidly expanding hisKingsmanmovie franchise, which began with the hit 2014 adaptation of the Dave Gibbons and Mark Millar comic,Kingsman: The Secret Service. But while we can soon expect the Ralph Fiennes-starring prequel filmThe King’sManand potential TV series,we haven’t heard much news aboutKingsman 3.However,KingsmanstarTaron Egertonhas confirmed that the thirdKingsmanfilm already has a script. And if there’s aKingsman 3script, then news of production is probably not too far away.
At ACE Comic Con Midwest, Egerton was cagey on details about aKingsman 3, but confirmed “there is a script,” according toComicbook.
“It’s a really neat idea,” he added. “That plan, at the moment, is that we’d like to do another one, one more time.”
The third film in the franchise,The King’s Man, is a prequel that will tell the origins of the spy organization that Egerton’s Eggsy joins inKingsman: The Secret Service. But Vaughn apparently envisioned the modern-dayKingsmanfilms — which includeThe Secret Serviceand its sequelThe Golden Circle— as a trilogy, Egerton said at the panel. After Egerton made his big break withThe Secret Service, he said that he wants to properly close out Eggsy’s arc with a third film.
“It was the role that kind of started my film career so I’m always going to feel, you know, a great fondness for the part. I would like to do one more because frankly, I’d like to say goodbye to [Eggsy] in a befitting way and to finish the trilogy. All good things come to an end. It was always imagined as a trilogy and I think it’d be great to finish the story off because I’ve loved playing the character.”
Vaughn has said he planstake a short breakafterThe King’s Manbefore diving straight into production onKingsman 3sometime this year, and a completed script points to filming potentially starting soon.Kingsman 3will bring backColin Firthand Egerton’s characters in what’s been called “the conclusion of the Harry Hart–Eggsy relationship,” Vaughnteased. “The next movie is what happens to these characters [after the events ofThe Golden Circle]. They’re definitely not going to be doing what you’ve seen them do before.”
We can probably expectKingsman 3to begin filming sometime later this year or early next year. Meanwhile, you’re able to revisit the world ofKingsmanwhenThe King’s Manhits theaters onFebruary 14, 2020.
