$952 million: Will the funniest spy saga of the 2010s get a 4th movie?

Warning – The article below contains spoilers. And in particular “The King’s Man” or “Argil”, Matthew Vaughn’s latest feature film, which is currently on myCANAL. Please be careful, even if it means moving when you come to certain crossings.

After turning down an X-Men sequel and slamming anyone who would listen that they weren’t interested in training, Matthew Vaughn has rethought Kingsman. twice Perhaps because he co-created the comic with Mark Millar and Dave Gibbons, which he adapted into this action and spy film that starred Taron Egerton in 2015.

Nevertheless, he has given a sequel and prequel to this feature film, which TMC will re-air on Monday, September 30. In this more pop James Bond, with furious and virtuosic fights that have become one of his trademarks, Matthew Vaughn introduces us to the Kinsgmans, an elite British intelligence whose agents are distinguished by impeccable suits. And that’s when danger looms around the world as Eggs, a young man from the suburbs of London, becomes their new recruit. and future star of the agency.

If the first two opus earned about 410 million dollars worldwide, the prequel called “The King’s Man” earned only 125.9 million in 2021. This was helped a bit by writing problems during production and the subsequent impact of COVID on theaters. What sounds like the death knell of a franchise? No.

Although Argylle, another mix of action and espionage, has just been released in our cinemas, and he will star in a musical comedy written by Damien Chazelle, Matthew Vaughn clearly has no plans to abandon the secret agents of Kingsman. But what form will the next film take?

Kingsman 3?

This is currently the most likely option. And Matthew Vaughan took advantage of Argyle’s promotion to prove it. in the given interview Collider It is worth noting: “We have to go in advance Colin Too old and so is Taron, if I dare say so.”– answers the screenwriter and director.

“Kingsman 3 There will definitely be a conclusion to the relationship. The first act is currently being written. the third too. The second one needs a little work. So we know how it ends and how it begins. “

Last year, Matthew Vaughn hoped to be able to shoot the film in 2024. What is more and more incredible today, even the script was already finished.

King’s Man: Second Mission?

If Kingsman didn’t announce a sequel, The King’s Man did. In the post-credits scene that introduced us to a future big bad like Marvel, with Thanos at the end of Avengers. Except it was about Adolf Hitler (played by David Cross) and the scene was discussed as being in bad taste at the time of release. But here again, Matthew Vaughn is not going to back down.

“The next episode tells the story of the rise of Hitler, how he came to power with the support of the English aristocracy”He already said ColliderIn October 2015, about this film, which will be named “Treacherous King” (“treacherous king”) and has already been written.

However, the project will be a lower priority than Kingsman 3 and, above all, we don’t yet know what form it will take. As The King’s Man has almost become a TV series, will its sequel see the light of day on the small screen after mixed results in Prime Mission cinemas?

A surprise crossover?

A year ago, we would not have considered this hypothesis. Today is completely different. Because of the end of Argyle and the moment when author Eli Conway (Bryce Dallas Howard) realizes that the spy he portrays in his novels really exists. And that he has the features he imagined (Henry Cavill in short), with a long neck.

As far as we’re concerned, the most important thing is less than the post-credits scene. Set twenty years earlier (so early 2000s), it shows a young Aubrey Argyll arriving at a pub called… The King’s Man. logo, so that there is as little doubt as in this sequence where whiskey is served under the Statesman brand, the American equivalent of Kingsman.

Can we expect a film that will be a prequel to Argylle and Kingsman? “The good news is that you’re asking the right question and you’ll have the right answers in the future.”Matthew Vaughan answers when we ask him.

“There’s a whole logic to the craziness we’re developing. The first Argyle book just came out and it’s great. I hope the next chapter starts today and you’ll see some winks and crossovers.’

The good news is that you are asking the right question. And that you will have the right answers in the future

Is Matthew Vaughn, the founder of the production company Marv Films in 2004, starting his own MCU? Marv’s cinematic universe, where the superheroes would be replaced by the spies of his movies? Hopefully, answers will come quickly, just to know when and how the Kingsman saga will continue.
