It was the role that kind of started my film career so I’m always going to feel, you know, a great fondness for the part. “I would like to do one more because frankly, I’d like to say goodbye to (Eggsy) in a befitting way and to finish the trilogy. All good things come to an end. It was always imagined as a trilogy and I think it’d be great to finish the story off because I’ve loved playing the character,” the actor told Comicbook.com. Kingsman: The Secret Service, which released in 2014, introduced Eggsy (Egerton), a young street-smart ruffian handpicked by agent Harry Hart (Colin Firth) to join a secret academy that would train him to become part of Kingsman, an organisation filled with super suave super spies. Its sequel, _Kingsman: The Golden Circle_ , released in 2017. Vaughn earlier said he is planning to start production on the film later this year, with an expected release date of 2021. _The King's Man_ , a spin-off prequel, is slated to hit the screens on February 14, 2020.
