Matthew Vaughn has revealed that Kingsman 3 will wrap up Harry Hart and Eggsy's story.

The first two instalments in the spy franchise feature Taron Egerton's youthful scallywag Eggsy joining a secretive and prestigious organisation, where he's tutored by Colin Firth's gadget-laden agent Harry.

Here, the two come across some colourful international baddies and brush shoulders with their American counterparts (named The Statesman).

But following 2014's The Secret Service and 2017's The Golden Circle, what can fans expect from this planned trilogy-closer?

Director Vaughn recently sat down with Digital Spy to talk about all things Rocketman – which he produces and Egerton stars in – and also found time to discuss the next planned Kingsman movie (not to be confused with next year's prequel The Great Game).

"We've got to finish off the Eggsy and Harry relationship," he said. "The final chapter of their relationship needs to be told, which we've got ready to do, and I'm hoping to shoot that later this year or the beginning of next year.

"But this Kingsman (prequel) has been pushed back to February 14th for coming out, and so, yeah, as soon as that's done, we're looking forward to… It's funny. As Taron was saying, he's looking forward to becoming Eggsy again, because emotionally it's a lot less draining."

From playing a hyper-stylised version of Elton John in his breakout years to a character he's played twice already, it's hard to disagree there.
