Kingsman 3: Long-Awaited Filming Start Date Announced by Matthew Vaughn, Fans Rejoice!

Summary

Kingsman 3, subtitled The Blue Blood, will finally begin filming in 2024 after years of delays and focus on the poorly received prequel, The King's Man.

There is still much anticipation for Kingsman 3, despite the mixed reactions to the sequel released in 2017. While it may be challenging to reach the same level of success as the first two movies, the time gap between productions and Taron Egerton's accomplishments outside of the franchise could make his reprisal as Eggsy well-received by fans.

Additionally, there are plans for a reboot of Kick-Ass, a film that previously revolutionized people's views on superhero movies. The reboot will take a fresh approach, although specific details about it are currently undisclosed.

After keeping fans on edge for the conclusion of Eggsy's journey, Matthew Vaughn has officially announced the start date for filming Kingsman 3. Inspired by Mark Millar and Dave Gibbons' graphic novels, the successful spy franchise follows the story of British troublemaker Gary "Eggsy" Unwin, who is recruited by the secretive intelligence agency known as the Kingsman to protect the world from various dangerous threats. Starring Taron Egerton and Colin Firth, and directed by Matthew Vaughn, the films have received mixed-to-positive reviews from critics and have consistently performed well at the box office.

During a special panel at New York Comic Con, where our website was present, Vaughn provided an exciting update on the highly anticipated Kingsman 3. The accomplished writer/director confirmed that the third installment, titled The Blue Blood, will finally commence production in 2024, following several years of delays and a focus on the less favorably received prequel, The King's Man. Check out Vaughn's revelation below:

Next year, we have exciting plans in store for our audiences! We will be rebooting Kick-Ass and creating the highly anticipated Kingsman 3. The original Kick-Ass film revolutionized the way people perceive superhero movies, and we aim to do the same once again. However, this reboot will introduce entirely new characters and take a unique direction that I'm not at liberty to discuss just yet. Rest assured, it will be a thrilling and enjoyable experience for fans!

Can Kingsman 3 Recapture The Original Movies' Success?

Despite mixed reviews for The Golden Circle, audiences have eagerly awaited the release of Kingsman 3, especially since it was revealed to be Egerton's final film as Eggsy. The Golden Globe winner himself expressed his desire for the third installment to provide a satisfying conclusion for his character, who played a significant role in his rise to fame. While he has committed to returning for the next movie, he is waiting for the right story before diving in.

Vaughn has remained resolute in his dedication to moving forward with the next installment of the movie. However, there is a lingering question as to whether it can replicate the success of its predecessors. The release of the prequel, The King's Man, in 2021 somewhat dampened the reputation of the franchise. It not only received the lowest reviews out of the three movies, but also performed disappointingly at the box office. This was primarily due to the challenging circumstances faced by theaters in attracting audiences back, resulting in a modest earning of $126 million against its reported $100 million production budget.

The longer gap between productions for Kingsman: The Blue Blood may actually increase its chances of success, unlike some other sequels. Fans of the franchise have been eager for a return to the Eggsy-fronted stories, especially after the prequel's failure. Egerton's success outside of the franchise with films like Rocketman, Black Bird, and Tetris could further solidify his role as a star and be welcomed by fans. Additionally, Vaughn's plan to reboot Kick-Ass in 2024 adds to the filmmaker's projects, making it intriguing to see which one will be his priority.
