Taron Egerton’s leaving the “Kingsman” franchise behind – at least, temporarily (especially until those numbers come in on “Robin Hood”).
20th Century Fox and director Matthew Vaughn have decided to prequelize the series, meaning there’s no room for Egerton’s ‘Eggsy’ in the new instalment.
The actor tells Yahoo! : “I don’t know how hot off the press this is, and I think I’m allowed to say it, but I’m not in the next Kingsman movie. That doesn’t mean I won’t be in Kingsman ever again. I was with Matthew [Vaughn] as little as a few days ago, we’re still very much in business together, but his next journey in that world doesn’t involve me. His idea for the new one is incredibly exciting. I’m sad that I won’t be on that journey with him, but it’s not the last you’ve seen of Eggsy.”
Fox has a lot of faith in the “Kingsman” brand – what with more sequels, the prequel and a TV series going forward – so there’s a fair chance we’ll see Eggsy again sooner rather than later.
