Matthew Vaughn Says A KINGSMAN Sequel Would Introduce American Kingsmen

I'll have my review of Kingsman: The Secret Service for you later today, but in the meantime, director Matthew Vaughn recently gave an interview to Moviefone in which he talks about plans for what he and Mark Millar (who wrote the comic) would do if the film earns a sequel at the box office. A sequel hasn't been given the green light yet, but the first film is so much fun that I'd absolutely love to see one if the same creative team came back on board. When asked if he'd do another Kingsman movie, here's what he said:

I'd love to do another one. This movie really is the origin story of Eggsy. And Eggsy is really the real, true modern gentleman spy. It really isn't Harry Hart. Harry Hart is the old cliché of what you think a gentleman spy is. Eggsy will be taking on a whole new way. But it's up to the audience. If they go see it and want another one, I would absolutely love to do it. We had so much fun making this movie. And you wouldn't believe what we've got in store. Poor Mark Strong will be going on a journey that he never imagined. And we've got this idea to introduce the world to the American branch of the Kingsman.

Kingsman is facing off against Fifty Shades of Grey at the box office this weekend, so unless there's good word of mouth for Vaughn's film or it does tremendously well overseas or on home video, I'm not sure that we'll ever actually get a chance to see this sequel. But I don't doubt that he and Millar have come up with some truly insane stuff, and I'm really hoping we get a chance to check it out one day.
