Matthew Vaughnhas big plans for his growingKingsmanuniverse, and it seems the next step won’t involve franchise starTaron Egertonas the petty criminal turned sartorial super spy Gary “Eggsy” Unwin. In an interview withYahoo UK, the actor confirmed that he will sit out the nextKingsmanfilm.
“I don’t know how hot off the press this is, and I think I’m allowed to say it, but I’m not in the nextKingsmanmovie,” Egerton said before clarifying, “That doesn’t mean I won’t be inKingsmanever again. I was with Matthew [Vaughn] as little as a few days ago, we’re still very much in business together, but his next journey in that world doesn’t involve me.”
If you’re worried about the idea of aKingsman 3without Eggsy, not to fret. The actor isn’t referring to a direct followup to last year’sThe Golden Circle, but Vaughn’s developing spinoff/prequelKingsman: The Great Game, which will explore the history of the Secret Service organization in the 1900s.In June, Vaughn told Empire his plan was to shootThe Great GameandKingsman 3back-to-back. Additionally, the filmmaker is developing aKingsmanTV series and aStatesmanfilm based on the American league of spies introduced in the sequel.
The Great Gamewill reportedly introduce a new teen hero named Conrad, who wants to fight in World War I, as well as a new dapper older gentleman, rumored to be played byRalph Fiennes. “His idea for the new one is incredibly exciting,” Egerton told Yahoo. “I’m sad that I won’t be on that journey with him but it’s not the last you’ve seen of Eggsy.”
Indeed, if you’re looking for more Eggsy (who wouldn’t even have been a twinkle in his granfather’s eye duringThe Great Game), set your sights on Kingsman 3, which Vaughn previously teased as “the conclusion of the Harry Hart-Eggsy relationship."
The nextKingsmanmovie is scheduled to arrive in theaters on Aug 07, 2025.
