KINGSMAN 3 Officially Announced With Matthew Vaughn Returning To Write & Direct; Lands 2019 Release Date
While the Disney deal may be looming, 20th Century Fox has officially set a 2019 release date for the third and final chapter in Matthew Vaughn's Kingsman trilogy, which he will return to write & direct.
Late yesterday, 20th Century Fox officially announced that Matthew Vaughn would return to write and direct the third and presumably final chapter in his Kingsman trilogy. The studio also dated the sequel for a prime November 9, 2019 release date.
Further details are unavailable at this point in time, but expect both Taron Egerton and Colin Firth to reprise their roles since Vaughn has previously described the series capper as "the conclusion of the Harry Hart/Eggsy relationship." Also, while unconfirmed, Halle Berry, Channing Tatum, and Jeff Bridges are also rumored to return in some capacity.
Despite a mixed critical reception, Kingsman: The Golden Circle was still a major box office success, grossing over $410 million worldwide ($100M domestic; $310.6M foreign) on a relatively modest $104 million production budget. The franchise overall has grossed over $825 million worldwide.
The pending Disney deal, which will be finalized by the end of next summer, is not expected to have any serious bearing on the production of this film since cameras will likely get rolling during the first quarter of 2019.
