Even though we haven’t heard much concrete news about the nextMatthew Vaughn-helmedKingsmanmovie, that doesn’t mean it’s not being worked on. In fact, thanks to some very reliable sources, I’ve got a lot of updates and news to share with everyone on the next twoKingsmanmovies.
The big news I’m hearing is the nextKingsmanmovie, which is a film set many years before the events of the first film, will start filming in January, in London, and the shoot is scheduled to last for four and a half months with Vaughn directing. While details are very sparse on the prequel’s story, I’m hearing it’s about Kingsman as a tailor shop and it’s Vaughn trying to do a “period drama,” in contrast to the spy-thriller aspects of the first twoKingsmanmovies. It’s described as showing a history of the world through the eyes of Kingsman.
In addition, I’m hearing there is one line that points to what thisKingsmanprequel is about:
“The man who would be Kingsman.”
Which is a riff onThe Man Who Would Be King…
As I type these words, the film doesn’t have a title, but it’s not going to be calledKingsman 3since it’s a prequel. Speaking of which…
In addition to theKingsmanprequel movie, Vaughn is hard at work writing the sequel toKingsman: The Golden Circle, which he intends to direct and which would once again bring backTaron EgertonandColin Firth. My sources say the script is close to done and Vaughn’s plan is to shoot the sequel after taking a short break when he wraps the prequel in May or June. Right nowKingsman 3is intended to conclude the story of the relationship between Egerton and Firth’s characters, but it is not being thought of as the final storyline of these characters. While I can’t be sure of this, I think Vaughn is going to want to leave room for these characters to show up in the various otherKingsmanprojects being developed.
Regarding the upcomingKingsmanTV series, I’m hearing it’s not going to be anything like what people are expecting. Vaughn has told people he wants the show to be complimentary to the movies but different enough, otherwise what’s the point?
Whatever else Vaughn develops in theKingsmanuniverse, I’m hearing it has to fall into this rule, otherwise he won’t make it.
With filming on the nextKingsmanmovie set to begin in January, I’m sure we’ll hear more news soon. Until then…
