Matthew Vaughn may be busy right now with promoting his latest action movieArgylle, but it seems like he’s already got a slate of films ready to film. TheKingsmandirector gave us an update on his upcoming movies, which include another installation of the spy franchise, a musical, and the Kick-Ass reboot.
Speaking to theInside Total Film podcastand GamesRadar+, we asked the director if his planned Kick-Ass reboot is the next movie on his list. “[That’s] being worked on as we speak,” Vaughn tells us. “I’m in a weird business, logistical moment in my life where I’ve got to figure out who my partners are going to be because we’ve got quite a few, as you know, we have a lot of things ready.”
He continues: “So we have to make Kingsman 3 before Taryn [Egerton] and Colin [Firth] are just too old. There is the reboot of Kick-Ass, which the idea is so of its time that we have to get on with it as well. We would like to make the next Argylle and then I have a musical which I’m prepping at the moment as well. So we’re going to be busy but we’ve been polishing our weapons we’re now ready to start firing but I just need to know what aircraft carrier I’m firing them from, which I don’t have. I need an aircraft carrier.”
Vaughn’s latest film is Argylle, which stars Bryce Dallas Howard as reclusive author Elly Conway, who is behind a hugely popular spy saga starring suave Agent Argylle (played by Henry Cavill). However, when her fiction starts to get too close to the truth, Elly finds herself sucked into real-life international spy warfare.
For our full interview with Vaughn, listen to this week’s edition of theInside Total Film podcast, which is out now. We also spoke to him aboutthe film’s R-rating,why Henry Cavill was the perfect casting choice,Sam Rockwell’s dancing improv, and thepotential for a Henry Cavill-led sequel to Argylle.
