With The King\u2019s Man<\/a> debuting in UK cinemas on Boxing Day, Matthew Vaughn\u2019s action spy franchise continues to grow \u2013 and a follow-up to the original two movies is already in the works.<\/p>\n Whereas the recent instalment in the series served as a prequel with a brand new cast of characters, the next outing will see Taron Egerton and Colin Firth return for another adventure set in the modern-day timeline.<\/p>\n And Vaughn has recently teased that the film will mark the conclusion for the Harry and Eggsy storyline, before the franchise moves in other new directions, with unconfirmed plans already in place for a spin-off focusing on American agency Statesman.<\/p>\n Read on for everything we know so far about Kingsman 3 \u2013 including a look at who might feature in the cast, and what could happen.<\/p> It\u2019s not yet clear when Kingsman 3 will be released, but production on the film isn\u2019t slated to begin until September 2022 \u2013 so we\u2019re likely still a couple of years out from a release date at this point. Late 2023<\/strong> seems like the best guess at this point, but we\u2019ll keep you updated should we hear any more concrete details.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, it has been reported that the new film will be titled Kingsman: The Blue Blood \u2013 although we\u2019re still awaiting official confirmation on this.<\/span><\/p>\n All we know for sure at this stage is that Taron Egerton and Colin Firth will return as Eggsy and Harry in this film \u2013 which is reportedly set to serve as a conclusion to their respective stories.<\/p>\n It\u2019s unclear whether other stars from the first two films such as Sophie Cookson and Hanna Alstr\u00f6m will reprise their roles, although it seems safe to say that a return for Mark Strong as Merlin is unlikely given his heroic sacrifice in the previous film \u2013 although this franchise has brought characters back from the dead before\u2026<\/p>\n As for new characters, nothing has been revealed just yet \u2013 but Egerton has revealed who would be his top pick for a villain: Dwayne \u2018The Rock\u2019 Johnson.<\/p>\n While no official plot synopsis has come to light at this stage, Matthew Vaughn has teased a fair amount about what fans can expect to see in the next film.<\/p>\n Speaking to GamesRadar+<\/a>, he explained that it would be \u201cthe conclusion of the Eggsy\/Harry story\u201d and revealed that he has had some pretty wild ideas as to what might happen.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re going down a road [where] if anyone was surprised by going World War One, they\u2019re going to think I\u2019ve totally lost my mind for what Kingsman 3 is,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cI was a little bit shackled on [The Golden Circle]. This time I thought, f**k it, I\u2019m going to throw the kitchen sink at it, piss people off and make other people excited.\u201d<\/p>\n In a separate interview with Collider<\/a>, he discussed a few more details, saying that the crux of the film will be a \u201cwill they or won\u2019t they\u201d with Harry and Eggsy.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s the gang coming back together and it\u2019s one of those moments that\u2026 when we wrote the screenplay, it was very much about, okay, I saw how people loved the relationship of Eggsy and Harry,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cSo 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\u2019s what this movie is all about is will they or won\u2019t they, let\u2019s just say.\u201d<\/p>\n While the next Kingsman film will return us to the modern timeline, there\u2019s been no news just yet about whether Vaughn will return to a historical setting again following The King\u2019s Man.<\/p>\n But star Tom Hollander thinks there\u2019s a lot of potential to explore various other time periods through the lens of the Kingsman agency.<\/p>\n \u201cWell, we\u2019ll see. I mean, Matthew is the man to ask obviously, and I\u2019m sure it will be partly dependent on how this film does, but he\u2019s definitely got a whole load of stories in him,\u201d he told RadioTimes.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd he can reinvent Kingsman, anywhere, probably. The idea of these Arthurian knights dropped into different historical contexts \u2013\u00a0 there\u2019s no end of possibilities.\u201d<\/p>\n With production not yet to start for a number of months, we\u2019re still a while away from a trailer dropping yet \u2013 but keep checking back here for all the latest updates.<\/p>\n Check out more of our Film<\/a> coverage or take a look at our TV Guide<\/a> to find something to watch tonight.<\/strong><\/p>\nKingsman 3 release date<\/strong><\/h2>\n
