Kingsman 3 seems to be more or less under way, with director Matthew Vaughn apparently set to return.
That's at least according to Kingsman: The Golden Circle's visual effects supervisor Angus Bickerton, who hinted that the movie is in its early stages.
"We've had the briefest of conversations with Matthew [Vaughn] about it… he's got plans," he told CBR.
Vaughn has previously hinted that he has more ideas for the franchise in his head, which may even go beyond the standard canon.
"I think there's a story in my head which will be finished by the end of the next one," the director told Cinema Blend back in September.
"And then after that then, of course, there could be Statesman movies, there could be spin-off character films. The universe could continue with new agents.
"Or, you know, Colin [Firth] could become Arthur [...] or new characters could come in. Or new kids get trained. There's so many options, but I also think it's better not to be too greedy."
Further back in May, he teased: "Weirdly while we were writing Kingsman 2, we were thinking of Kingsman 3 as well, which is odd. We've got a big idea for that. This is sort of the bridge and if we can pull this off, we'll make another one."
Kingsman: The Golden Circle was released a few months ago in cinemas, and became a box office success.
It starred Taron Egerton, Colin Firth, Julianne Moore, Mark Strong, Halle Berry, Jeff Bridges and Channing Tatum, and is available to pre-order on Blu-ray and DVD now.
