Why the Kingsman Saga is Getting a New Season – And What It Means for 2023
When you hear a film boss refer to the next installment as “the next year” and say, “I don’t know, we’ll let the grown‑ups decide,” you know you’re in for a roller coaster of plot twists. That’s exactly what happened with Taron Egerton, the 32‑year‑old star who’s been taken deep into the espionage training grounds as Gary ’Eggsy’ Unwin for good measure.
What Taron Told the Worldwide Folks
- Egerton’s on the Jess Cagle Podcast with Julia Cunningham.
- He casually drops that the third Kingsman film is slated for 2023.
- And then adds, “You know, don’t listen to me.” – because the real decisions are still in the hands of the adults.
His style? Low‑key, almost like he’s breaking a secret treaty “just so you know,” but you’re left wondering when the actual green light will hit.
Director Matthew Vaughn’s Big‑Plot Shuffle
Vaughn, who’s been at the helm since the first film, originally planned to set the Blue Blood right after the prequel The King’s Man. However, around 2020‑2021, he admitted that those plans took a detour: “That was the plan, I was ready to go, but the world flipped upside down.”
So the timeline is still a bit fuzzy, but the universe is in the right direction.
Let’s Talk Franchise Expansion (and Comic Book Mayhem)
Going beyond the movie, Joshua Zusky, the brain behind Marv Films, hinted at a suite of spy movies—“something like seven more”—ready in the pipeline.
Current plans include:
- A TV series set to unpack the rise of Hitler and dive into World War II.
- Potential spin‑offs that could explore Cold War espionage.
- Three separate series that would evolve organically from the Kingsman universe.
In short, the Kingsman franchise is not just a film series; it’s a full-blown brand aimed at matching the James Bond camp.
