Taron Confirms He Is Not a Part of ‘Kingsman 3’
Written by Tiffany on November 08 2018
Comicbook.com – The first two Kingsman movies from Matthew Vaughn and Fox have focused on the adventures of outcast-turned-super spy Eggsy, played by Taron Egerton. However, the upcoming third film in the franchise won’t be following suit, and Egerton will not be involved.
During an interview with Yahoo! Movies UK ahead of his new film, Robin Hood, Egerton was asked about the third Kingsman movie, which was already reported to be a prequel to the first two. The actor quickly confirmed that Eggsy would be sitting this installment out.
While this may be disappointing to the fans of the franchise, Egerton goes on to explain that he isn’t done with the franchise for good. He and Vaughn still continue to talk about the future of Kingsman, and he plans on portraying the character of Eggsy again, it’s just that this new movie tells a different story in the Kingsman universe.
âThat doesnât mean I wonât be in Kingsman ever again,” Egerton confirmed. “I was with Matthew [Vaughn] as little as a few days ago, weâre still very much in business together, but his next journey in that world doesnât involve me.â
Egerton finished by saying that Vaughn had told him the plan for the third movie, and that it was a very exciting premise, despite the lack of Eggsy.
âHis idea for the new one is incredibly exciting,â Egerton added. âIâm sad that I wonât be on that journey with him but itâs not the last youâve seen of Eggsy.â
Early reports regarding the new Kingsman film say that it will take place during World War I and that Ralph Fiennes will take on the lead role. This will likely help explain more about the Kingsman organization itself.
Still, as great as all this sounds, it won’t quite feel the same without Eggsy around. Egerton has exploded onto the scene since the first Kingsman film was released, and he’s nabbed a few major roles as of late. After his turn as Robin Hood later this month, the actor will portray music icon Elton John in the 2019 biopic Rocketman.

Kingsman: The Golden Circle stars Colin Firth and Taron Egerton explain their bromance
Written by on August 23 2017
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY – Among other virtues, 2015âs Kingsman: The Secret Service clicked with audiences thanks to the rapport of delinquent-turned-debonair spy Eggsy (Taron Egerton) and his mentor Harry (Colin Firth).
Despite Harryâs apparent violent death, the duo reunites in next monthâs even more berserk sequel, Kingsman: The Golden Circle. Egerton, 27, and Firth, 56, spoke to EW about their return.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Did you both know that Harry was going to come back for a sequel?
TARON EGERTON: No, I donât think anybody did.
COLIN FIRTH: [Director Matthew Vaughn] was very clear on the first Kingsman. He said, âYour character dies. And brutally.â There was no bailout clause. But then there began gradual conversations about how we could resurrect him.
What possibilities were discussed?
FIRTH: Iâll say that something which was never discussed was the idea of an evil twin. Thatâs a clichĂ©. Plus, the purpose wasnât to get âColin Firthâ back. It was about finding a way back to that relationship between the characters.
EGERTON: Exactly. Eggsy and his Obi-Wan Kenobi-type dad figure. We almost didnât get enough of that in the first film.
How did your lives change after the first film?
EGERTON: Iâd never been in a movie before. My life, from a work perspective, is unrecognizable. The change has been particularly profound.
FIRTH: I remember your first days on the set of Kingsman, telling me how everything was so new, and I said, âThis is pretty new to me as well.â Thereâs something quite strange about me being an action star. Iâm only beginning to realize at my age that you shouldnât ever think youâve reached cruising altitude. I did not expect to be over 50 and doing a film that was so physically challenging.
EGERTON: Iâve not really spoken about this because it wasnât something I was very keen to reveal, but itâs in the trailer now. There are moments of us fighting side by side. On the first movie, prior to us actually shooting, there would be one of us walking out of a sweaty gym room, agonized, exhausted, while the other was walking in. One of us going, âBloody hell, that was rough!â and the other one going, âWell here I go.â I guess the thing that was fun this time was that we walked into the stunt department together. And that was really fun.
