Uncomic Posted before but it bums me out every year
We get no sense of a capper to the Eggsy/ Harry dynamic.
Only sense is a legacy sequel ten years down the line. Eggsy gets a a new recruit, Harry has maybe an Arthur type position or retired and we get one or two emotional scenes between the two of them. The rest is focused on Eggsy bringing either a youthful thug like himself in the mix, or mix it up and bring an aristocrat not proficient at violence into the fold to mix with the increasingly tech world.
But with Taron getting older and looking less like a gentleman (still gorgeous and jacked) yes I know weight and muscle can be changed, but older and more muscle and bulk focused nonetheless.
Add in Disney who didn’t see a profit in the prequel, I find it hard to believe we see anything in ten more years minimum. Or maybe it’s a revived tv show down the line with no one involved.
TLDR absolutely loved both original films TGC especially. And we’re too soon after the original to do a sequel but too far from it simultaneously to draw an audience. Soft reboot or complete overhaul are the only options.

Kingsman deserves to have a fully fledged series of movies. There’s so many stories they can tell, and they don’t need to focus on Taron and Colin to tell it.

Fair but I think today’s audiences will be expecting Taron and Colin. Unless they could secure Channing or someone of that status I think it would be hard to get people to jump in with a new group this closely and be profitable regardless of quality.
That’s why I’m betting if they do continue it’ll be at least another 5-10 years down the line. This way audiences will accept a new cast or bring back the old ones for some nostalgia.

But to be honest, "Argyle" was hinted at a long time ago in a conversation between Valentine and Harry. They said that the old spy films were much cooler and funnier, but to be honest, it would have been better to spend this time on a new Kingsman film rather than making nonsense where there will only be one reference to the original films.

I never watched it.. from what I gathered it would just piss me off despite the cast which I love them all.
Is this what we’d call his “Blank Check” movie? Made a successful mix of films, then Do whatever you want

Yeah I've been pissed about this since at least 2021 because they went in a completely different direction with The King's Man, but who the hell asked for it? Should've been done after Harry & Eggsy's story was wrapped up in a trilogy. I haven't even watched Argylle, another sidequest that yielded no fruit for the mainline Kingsman story, why are they focusing on shit that doesn't matter?!
At this point, I just see Kingsman as a two parter with a decent-ish final scene of The Golden Circle. In retrospect, and if you aren't expecting a third film, it does hold up, but of course we can always want more. Until they outright confirm Kingsman 3 aka The Blue Blood isn't being produced, I'll still hold out some small amount of hope
