It hasn't even opened here yet, but Matthew Vaughn thinks he has the seeds of Kingsman 2 planted.
NewsKingsman: The Secret Service is still a week away from its release here in North America but since it's already taken in $7 million in the UK and the buzz on the film is tremendous (and well-earned, because it's a blast), the potential for a sequel is certainly there. And director/co-screenwriter Matthew Vaughn tells us that he's got an idea for a second installment already:
"If, God forbid, this film's a hit, a lot of Kingsman 2 will be set in America where we sort of celebrate Americana, 'cause there are so many fun types of Americans and American folklore and American icons which I'd love to bring back, sort of like we did with the British stuff. So my idea for the sequel will have Eggsy (Taron Egerton) sort of ending up with the American (version of) Kingsman."
That sounds like a winning combination to us -- it would be a lot of fun to see the British "gentleman spy" type play off his usually rougher-edged American counterparts. Let's hope the box office makes a sequel possible, and check here next week for more of our interview with Vaughn.
Kingsman: The Secret Service is out in theaters Friday, February 13.
