‘Kingsman 3’: Matthew Vaughn And Jane Goldman Have A “Big Idea” For Another Spy Sequel

But the upcoming sequel might not be the end of the road for Taron Egerton’s Eggsy and company. Read Vaughn’s comments about a potential Kingsman 3 below.

After catching a glimpse of the sheer insanity contained in The Golden Circle trailer, the mind reels at what kind of stunts, gadgets, plot twists, and A-list guest stars Vaughn and Goldman might be cooking up for Eggsy to experience in a third film.

“Weirdly while we were writing Kingsman 2, we were thinking of Kingsman 3 as well, which is odd. We’ve got a big idea for that. This is sort of the bridge and if we can pull this off, we’ll make another one.”

Based on my love of the first movie, I’m interested in a third go-around – especially with Vaughn and Goldman remaining involved – but I just hope that The Golden Circle doesn’t suffer as a result of this decision. If the second movie feels like a bridge to another story rather than a complete experience on its own, it’ll feel like we’ve been cheated a little bit. But it sounds like Vaughn weighed all the options before signing on, and hopefully he’s learned from past experiences:

Kingsman: The Golden Circle opens on September 22, 2017.

“I was very hesitant about making a sequel purely because so many sequels don’t really enhance the experience. They’re normally bigger but not necessarily better…Kick-Ass 2 was a big learning curve of how not to make a sequel. We didn’t set out to make a terrible film.”
