Talking about current adaptations of the comic to the big screen that have embraced the franchised model invites us to do it directly in the two giants of the industry: Marvel and DC. Nevertheless, There is life beyond The House of Ideas and the Distinguished Competitionand as an example we only have to project our gaze on the prolific and profitable ‘Kingsman’ saga.
The fantastic first feature directed by Matthew Vaughn in 2014 not only provided a spectacle to match Mark Millar’s original work, but also paved the way for a tremendously strong trilogy that held its own in ‘The Golden Circle’ and the remarkable prequel. ‘The first mission’. But, If after this triple dose of quality action you have been left wanting more, it seems that you are in luck.
There are no three without four
According to what Taron Egerton, the protagonist of the first two films, told during a conversation with Collider, Matthew Vaughn intends to shelve his journey with ‘Kingsman’ with a fourth film. Egerton has his own idea of it, while Vaughn already has something in mind, so it seems like a matter of where the scale ends up tipping.
“Yeah, I mean…I don’t know what I should say. Yeah, I have an idea for Kingsman. I’ve got my own idea that I’d like to pitch to Matthew, and I think it’ll happen soon, but he’s got a great idea of his own going. So that, who knows. Who knows what it will turn out to be. But he has every intention of doing it, and I have every intention of playing Eggsy one more time. I always thought I was committed to doing it. It’s the role that made me famous, so that I guess, in a way, I just want it to be perfect if we do it again, and I want the story to do justice to the role that changed my life. I want it to be a proper ending.”
“Obviously, I hope Colin [Firth] come back at least for part, and who knows? It will be seen, but we are planning to talk about it the next time we meet. Stay tuned, but, you know, he’s not going to give up the idea. [de hacer una última Kingsman]”.
In addition to this, Egerton commented on an amusing anecdote about the 50th birthday present he gave to Vaughna person who, according to him, is “tremendously rich”.
“Well, I try not to do badly in the movies that he puts me in, that’s the main goal. The thing about Matthew, too, I don’t know if you know, is that he’s a tremendously rich name. [ríe]. So she’s one of those people who can’t buy presents, but she turned 50 last year and I didn’t know what to get her, so I gave her a framed photograph of a scene we shot nine years ago. It was the scene from the first Kingsman where I’m tied to the tracks in one of the tests, and he’s on top of me in a parka directing me, but in a rather emphatic way. So it seemed like he was dominating me like a villain while I was tied to the train tracks. I think when you’re trying to buy a gift for someone who has everything, it’s best to try to connect with some kind of feeling.”
It is clear that the relationship between Matthew Vaughn and Taron Egerton is good enough to feed our hope of seeing a ‘Kingsman 4’ that does justice to the saga with an end of party at the height of the circumstances. Everything seems to be a matter of waiting and arming yourself with patience.
