The King’s Manhas finally been released following countless delays, but before it made its way into theatres, director Matthew Vaughn hinted at the upcomingKingsman 3and what fans can expect.
The King’s Man, while still a part of theKingsmanfranchise, is a prequel film because its story takes place in the early 1900s and depicts the formation of the spy agency, with stars Ralph Fiennes as Orlando Oxford, Duke of Oxford, and Harris Dickinson as Conrad. The two race against time to stop the gathering of tyrants and criminal masterminds who plot to start a war that will take out millions. Knowing thatThe King’s Manwill not move the mainstory forward after the events ofKingsman: The Golden Circle, fans began wondering what to expect fromKingsman 3.

While promotingThe King’s Man, Vaughn opened up during a group interview with Collider aboutKingsman 3and what’s next for fan-favorite characters like Eggsy (Taron Egerton) and Harry Hart (Colin Firth). “Eggsy and Harry [will be in it], obviously. But it’s the gang coming back together and it’s one of those moments that…when we wrote the screenplay, it was very much about, okay, I saw how people loved the relationship of Eggsy and Harry," Vaughn shared. “So we just came up with this thing, what could be the ultimate reason for them to either fall in love or to hate each other forever? So that’s what this movie is all about is will they or won’t they, let’s just say.”
Whilethe first twoKingsmaninstallmentswere praised for their over-the-top, bonkers action sequences and eye-popping visuals that revamped the spy genre in a unique way, the real heart of those films stemmed from the dynamic between its two leads. With Vaughn now claiming that the third film will offer a greater exploration between Eggsy and Hart, there’s no doubt thatKingsman 3could become one of the most emotional and impactful films in the entire franchise.
Vaughn, who has helmed all of theKingsmanfilms so far, originally planned to shootThe King’s Manback-to-back with the third mainline film, but the pandemic put a halt to things. Now, the director is currently filming his other spy thriller, titledArgylle.ThoughKingsman 3is still early in development, as it is set to begin filming sometime in 2022,The King’s Man,along with Vaughn’s other projects, should keep the anticipation level high for fans of the spy genre andKingsmanfranchise.
Although it has been receiving mixed reviews,The King’s Mancontains some of the most unique and thrilling fight scenes in theKingsmanfilm series. The cast also includes Rhys Ifans as Grigori Rasputin, Gemma Arterton as Polly, Djimon Hounsou as Shola, Matthew Goode as Captain Morton/The Shepherd, Daniel Brühl as Erik Jan Hanussen, andAaron Taylor-Johnsonas Lee Unwin.
