5 Shocking Updates On The Kingsman Movies: The Blue Blood Filming Date, Cast, And Future Spin-offs
The Kingsman franchise, known for its sharp suits and even sharper action, is finally moving forward with its long-awaited fourth installment, *Kingsman: The Blue Blood*. After years of delays, the film is now firmly on the production schedule, promising a definitive conclusion to the story arc of the iconic duo, Eggsy Unwin and Harry Hart. As of December 21, 2025, new details have emerged regarding the start of production and the confirmed returning cast members.
Franchise mastermind Matthew Vaughn has been candid about the reasons for the extended wait, primarily pointing to the busy schedule of his lead actor, Taron Egerton. However, the latest updates confirm that the next chapter is set to begin filming in 2025, which means fans can now look forward to a potential release date in 2026. This article breaks down the freshest information on the main sequel, the status of the wider cinematic universe, and the impressive legacy of the spy series.
Kingsman: The Blue Blood—Plot, Cast, and 2025 Production Update
The next main film in the series, officially titled *Kingsman: The Blue Blood*, is confirmed to be the third film in the mainline trilogy, following *The Golden Circle*, rather than a follow-up to the prequel *The King's Man*.
The movie is intended to serve as the definitive conclusion to the saga of Gary "Eggsy" Unwin and his mentor, Harry Hart.
Director Matthew Vaughn has teased that the plot will revolve around Harry Hart and Eggsy Unwin needing each other one final time to complete their journey.
The story will return to the present day and is expected to further explore the deep, paternal bond that has developed between the two agents since their first meeting in *The Secret Service*.
The Confirmed Returning Cast
The core cast is set to return for this final chapter of the Eggsy/Harry story:
- Colin Firth as Harry Hart/Galahad: The impeccably dressed mentor who continues to defy death.
- Taron Egerton as Gary 'Eggsy' Unwin/Galahad: The street urchin turned world-class spy, whose busy schedule was the primary cause of the film's delays.
- Hanna Alström as Princess Tilde: Eggsy's love interest and the Crown Princess of Sweden.
Filming Schedule and Release Window
The production timeline has been a moving target for years, having been delayed from 2019 and 2022.
The latest, most optimistic update from Matthew Vaughn himself suggests that filming for *Kingsman: The Blue Blood* will begin in 2025.
Assuming a 2025 filming start, the earliest fans can realistically expect the film to hit theaters is sometime in 2026.
The Wider Kingsman Cinematic Universe: Statesman and The King's Man Sequels
While *The Blue Blood* is the immediate priority, the *Kingsman* franchise is envisioned as a much larger universe, with multiple spin-offs and sequels still in development or planned by Vaughn and his production company, Marv Studios.
The Statesman Spin-Off
First introduced in *Kingsman: The Golden Circle*, the American counterpart to the British Kingsman agency, Statesman, has long been slated for its own spin-off film.
The Statesman film would focus on the American agents, who are themed around a whiskey distillery, and could feature characters like Tequila (Channing Tatum) and Ginger Ale (Halle Berry).
Matthew Vaughn has expressed a strong desire to make this spin-off, and it remains a key part of his future plans for the franchise, potentially moving into production after *The Blue Blood*.
The King's Man Prequel Follow-up
The 2021 prequel, *The King's Man*, which starred Ralph Fiennes and detailed the organization's origins during World War I, also has a sequel planned.
The follow-up to *The King's Man* is reportedly titled *The King's Man: The Traitor King*.
Early reports suggest this prequel sequel will move into the 1930s and 1940s, featuring the rise of Adolf Hitler and involving British high society, continuing the historical espionage theme.
However, the development of this prequel sequel is less certain than *The Blue Blood*, with some industry analysts suggesting that the sequels to *The King's Man* seem less likely with each passing year, despite Vaughn's original vision.
The Kingsman Franchise's Impressive Financial Legacy and Topical Authority
The *Kingsman* series, based on the comic book *The Secret Service* by Mark Millar and Dave Gibbons, has established itself as a major force in the spy-action genre, blending sophisticated British tailoring with ultra-violent, stylized action sequences.
The franchise has been a significant commercial success, with the first two mainline films proving to be global box office hits.
Box Office Performance (Worldwide Gross)
- Kingsman: The Secret Service (2015): Grossed over $414.3 million worldwide, establishing the franchise's global appeal.
- Kingsman: The Golden Circle (2017): Grossed over $410.9 million worldwide, maintaining the success of the first film.
- The King's Man (2021): Released during a difficult period for cinemas, it still managed to gross over $125.9 million worldwide.
Collectively, the three films have grossed over $951 million worldwide, solidifying the franchise's financial topical authority and justifying the continued investment in *The Blue Blood* and the planned spin-offs.
The success of the films is largely attributed to the creative vision of director Matthew Vaughn and his long-time writing partner, Jane Goldman, who crafted the original scripts for the first two films, establishing the unique tone and world of the agency.
As fans eagerly await the start of filming in 2025, the anticipation for *Kingsman: The Blue Blood* is at an all-time high, promising a stylish, action-packed, and emotionally resonant conclusion to the core story that started it all.
