Matthew Vaughn May Return To Direct KINGSMAN: THE SECRET SERVICE Sequel

Matthew Vaughn's Kingsman: The Secret Service is one of my favorite movies of the year so far, a delightful send-up of James Bond movies that, to me, is actually more purely entertaining than any single Bond film made thus far.

We've written a little about a possible Kingsman sequel, with Vaughn saying it would introduce American Kingsmen into the mix and Colin Firth might return, but at this point, there are still a lot of mysteries surrounding the sequel. Well now the mystery of who might direct the movie seems to be solved. Speaking with Yahoo, Vaughn had this to say:

“Well, the good news is that I’m writing [the sequel] next door at the moment. If I think I can get the script good enough, then we are making it...We are doing our damndest to make that happen.”

“I’m in love with these characters and I want to work with them again so I’ll probably be breaking the rule of [me] tending not to make sequels.”

That's great news for people who loved his slick, stylish take on the spy genre, and I'm excited that he's excited enough about this project to want to come back and direct it himself. Vaughn is working on a number of different things, but this shows that he's really into this particular story, which will hopefully translate into another great, energetic film.
