Talking at ACE Comic Con Midwest, Comicbook reports that Egerton said “I'm really not allowed to say anything, but there is a script”."It's a really neat idea. That plan, at the moment, is that we'd like to do another one, one more time," he added.Director Matthew Vaughn will release a third film in the series, The King’s Man, next February. However, The King’s Man is a prequel to Egerton’s films, and so is not the third film in the contemporary Kingsman timeline. That section of the series - made up so far of The Secret Service and The Golden Circle films - was envisioned as a trilogy, and Egerton hopes to see it through to the end.“"It was the role that kind of started my film career so I'm always going to feel, you know, a great fondness for the part," said Egerton. "I would like to do one more because frankly, I'd like to say goodbye to [Eggsy] in a befitting way and to finish the trilogy. All good things come to an end. It was always imagined as a trilogy and I think it'd be great to finish the story off because I've loved playing the character."Late last year there were reports that Kingsman 3, starring Egerton and Colin Firth, was in development . This latest news suggests that that was at least partly true; a script is certainly the starting point for a whole movie.Elsewhere in that universe, we recently learned that The King’s Man originally wasn’t a Kingsman movie , and that the film will feature Rasputin as a villain
