‘Kingsman 3’: Big Ideas For Another Spy Sequel
Kingsman: The Secret Service was a surprise hit in 2014 and with the sequel, The Kingsman: The Golden Circle, yet to be released, director, Matthew Vaughn hinted at a recent press event that Kingsman 3 may already be in the works.
In London on Friday, 20th Century Fox held a press event which included a screening of the first 30 minutes of The Golden Circle. During a Q & A session, the director revealed that during the process of writing the sequel, he and Jane Goodman were writing the screenplay with a third film in mind.
“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.”
If The Golden Circle was meant to be a “bridge” to the next film, hopefully it won’t suffer as a result of Vaughn’s decision. He had this to say regarding weighing his options before doing a sequel as well as learning from past mistakes:
“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.
Kingsman: The Golden Circle premieres in theaters this fall on September 22, 2017.
Synopsis:
