We know that the next Kingsman movie will be set during the first World War but many fans assumed that we'd still get to spend some time in the present day with both the original Kingsman team and the newly introduced Statesmen. However, it seems as if writer and director Matthew Vaughn is going all in on the prequel because Taron Egerton's Eggsy will not be making an appearance!
"I don’t know how hot off the press this is," Egerton revealed while promoting Robin Hood, "and I think I’m allowed to say it, but I’m not in the next Kingsman movie."
That doesn't necessarily mean we won't get to see him again, of course, but the Welsh actor was quick to reiterate that there are no plans in place for him to show up in the third instalment of the popular franchise based on Mark Millar's comic book series. "We're still very much in business together, but his next journey in that world doesn't involve me."
Kingsman 3 has been pencilled in for a November 9th, 2019 release, and the cast is coming together with names like Brad Pitt and Ralph Fiennes rumoured to star.
Are you excited to see the series head down a slightly different path next year? Let us know your thoughts below.
