Matthew Vaughn has been within the filmmaking sport since 1996, however he’s maybe greatest identified for 2010’s Kick-Ass and 2014’s Kingsman: The Secret Service. His upcoming film Argylle has made certain to place the latter film entrance and heart for its advertising, and it’s seemingly there are diehard followers hoping for some type of resurgence for both (or each) franchise.
Whereas selling Argylle at New York Comedian-Con on Saturday, Vaughn made it fairly clear he absolutely intends to get each Kick-Ass and Kingsman again out into the world. He revealed he plans on rebooting Kick-Ass, saying it will be would characteristic totally different characters from Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s Dave and Chloë Moretz’s Mindy that headlined the primary two films. (That mentioned, he did point out he’d be right down to carry them again sooner or later sooner or later.) “Kick-Ass 1 form of modified folks’s notion of what a superhero movie is at the moment,” he mentioned, “So we’ll be doing it once more. […] This reboot is simply going off on a tangent that I can’t actually discuss now. But it surely’s enjoyable.”
Primarily based on the Picture Comics by Mark Millar and John Romita Jr., the unique Kick-Ass starred Dave Lizewski, a comic book e book fan who decides to strive his hand at being an precise superhero and will get his ass kicked. He ultimately will get higher at it, linking up with Mindy Macready and her father Damon (who function because the crimefighting duo of Hit-Woman and Huge Daddy) to take down against the law lord. The movies ended with 2013’s Kick-Ass 2, whereas the comics continued with each a sequence centered on Hit-Woman and a new character named Endurance Lee taking over the Kick-Ass mantle.
However first, Vaughn hopes to start filming Kingsman: The Blue Blood, with sequence stars Taron Egerton and Colin Firth set to return to their respective roles as Eggsy Unwin and Harry Hart. (Offered the SAG-AFTRA wraps up someday quickly.) Not like Kick-Ass, the Kingsman franchise has managed to stay round in people’ minds extra thanks to 2 follow-ups: 2018’s Kingsman: The Golden Circle, and The King’s Man from 2021, which wound again the clock to World Battle I and the beginning of the titular spy group.
With a gradual resurgence of superheroes getting brutalized and a gift vacuum of James Bond, there’s good alternatives for Vaughn to reap the benefits of with the 2 franchises that he reduce his enamel on. So far as the spy style is worried, it looks like he’s actually dedicated to it even outdoors of Kingsman, as Argylle will hit theaters on February 2, 2024 and ultimately Apple TV+.
