Taron Egerton says production on Kingsman 3 could start soon. Egerton starred in the first two films of the irreverent action/spy franchise, Kingsman: The Secret Service and Kingsman: The Golden Circle as Gary «Eggsy» Unwin. Not to be confused with the recent prequel The King's Man, which Eggsy didn't appear in. The King's Manfollowed the formation of The Kingsmen agency by Ralph Fiennes' Duke Orlando Oxford amidst the turmoil of WWI, decades before the events of the other films which are set in the present day.
The upcoming sequel is called Kingsman: Blue Blood and will see Matthew Vaughn continue to serve as the series director and co-writer as he has on all previous films. Blue Blood was supposed to be shot back-to-back with the prequel, but as with many productions in the past few years, that plan was upended by the COVID pandemic. There's little known about the storyat the moment, although it will continue to follow the tempestuous relationship of the blue-collared Eggsy and his more proper mentor Harry Hart a.k.a. Merlin (Colin Firth). While neither The Golden Circle nor The King's Man were particularly successful in the eyes of critics, that hasn't slowed the franchise from making money, and might not even hamper Vaughn's plans to make at least 7 other films or television shows in the Kingsman universe.
