Until then, Kingsman: The Blue Bloodis the next known installment.Melissa de la Cruz is the New York Times and USA Today best-selling author of many critically acclaimed and award-winning novels for teens including The Au Pairs series, the Blue Bloods series, the Ashleys series, the Angels on Sunset Boulevard series and the semi-autobiographical novel Fresh off the Boat. Future Kingsman projects won't be beholden to the story that the first film began, and the trilogy format offers a tried-and-true method for that story to come to its natural conclusion instead. Likewise, by focusing instead on compelling spinoff projects like the Statesmen and The King's Man's earlier historical timeline, the entire franchise can avoid the pitfall that big studios like Marvel seem to be slipping into - namely piling onto one central story too much. For one, it allows Colin Firth and Taron Egerton's characters to quit while they're ahead, rather than becoming pantomimes of the interesting characters they once were as the film series wears on and on. However, this is a very savvy call on Vaughn's part. Given how successful the three franchise films have been so far (despite some of the glaring mistakes in Kingsman: The Golden Circle and The King's Man), it may come as a bit of a surprise that the new Kingsman movie is intended to be the final installment of Harry and Eggsy's story.
