There will be a Kingsman 3 …but not before we go back in time, possibly to where it all began, with Kingsman: The Great Game, a prequel set in the early 20th century.
Harris Dickinson (Trust) will play a “cocky yet charming” young bloke who wants to fight in World War I, and finds a mentor in Ralph Fiennes (In Bruges, The English Patient) in this new Kingsman outing, which will apparently be more of a drama than an action movie.
Collider has revealed that Daniel Brühl (Captain America: Civil War, The Alienist) has now joined the cast of the prequel, along with Charles Dance (Game Of Thrones).
Rhys Ifans (Notting Hill, The Amazing Spider-Man) is also in talks for the role of a “dangerous and manipulative Russian mystic”, while Matthew Goode (A Discovery Of Witches) is also said to be in the running for a part. Only Ifans’ character has been allotted any details at the moment, though.
Matthew Vaughn’s prequel will begin filming over here in the UK in January, and it’s currently eyeing a 8th November, 2019 release date, so he’s going to have to put the pedal to the metal on this one if he wants to get everything done and dusted in ten months! – realistically, we may see this one pushed back to 2020.
More as we get it.
