Director Matthew Vaughn’s third Kingsman movie in what has been a planned trilogy since the beginning is firming up a Kick-Ass cast.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson (re-teaming with Vaughn after Kick-Ass 2) and Gemma Arterton (The Escape, Netflix’s Watership Down) have joined the cast of Kingsman: The Great Game, EW has learned.
Official story details remain elusive, but The Great Game is the subtitle Vaughn, returning to write and direct the third film, mentioned during past interviews in reference to a prequel that would follow the organization of Kingsman agents in the ’90s.
According to reports, Taron Egerton, the star of the past two Kingsman movies as Eggsy, will apparently sit this one out. Reps for 20th Century Fox did not have a firm comment on the matter.
Taylor-Johnson and Arterton join the previously reported casting of Charles Dance (HBO’s Game of Thrones), Daniel Bruhl (TNT’s The Alienist), Harris Dickinson (FX’s Trust), and Ralph Fiennes (Holmes & Watson).
Kingsman: The Secret Service introduced Eggsy as a London rabble-rouser recruited to try out for the Kingsman spy agency under the tutelage of Colin Firth’s Agent Harry Hart. The sequel, Kingsman: The Golden Circle, took the agents to meet the organization’s American brethren, The Statesman, to take down drug kingpin Poppy (Julianne Moore).
The Great Game is currently scheduled for release on Nov. 8.
