Taron Egerton says new Kingsman movie will begin filming in 2023
Taron Egerton has suggested that the latest 'Kingsman' movie is due to head into production in 2023.
Taron Egerton has confirmed that the latest 'Kingsman' movie is set to start filming next year.
The 32-year-old actor is set to reprise his role as Gary 'Eggsy' Unwin in 'Kingsman: The Blue Blood' and suggested that it could head into production in 2023 before adding that the decision would be made by "grown-ups".
Speaking on the Jess Cagle Podcast with Julia Cunningham, Taron said: "My understanding is that we are to be shooting the third installment in my saga I believe next year.
"But you know, don't listen to what I say because I really don't know. You know, they're grown-up decisions."
The new film had been due to be shot following the prequel 'The King's Man' but director Matthew Vaughn revealed that plans had been changed.
He explained: "That was sort of the plan, and I was ready to go, but let's just say the world got turned upside down."
It was previously suggested by Zygi Kamasa – the CEO of Vaughn's Marv Films production company – that the director had "something like seven more" of the spy films in the pipeline.
Kamasa said: "We want to grow the business and the output. We have a 'Kingsman' TV series in the works and there are two-three other franchises that are being developed alongside the 'Kingsman' world."
Vaughn expressed a desire to turn the 'Kingsman' series into a franchise to rival James Bond by exploring conflicts such as World War II.
He said: "If we go down the TV route we can explore the rise of Hitler, then go into World War II.
"For me, it would be amazing to finally get to the Cold War."
