During this year's New York Comic-Con, Kick-Ass and Kingsman: The Secret Service director Matthew Vaughn revealed that he will begin working on a musical film next year. During the same panel, Vaughn revealed that new Kick-Ass and Kingsman movies are also in the making.

"I'm actually going to be doing a musical next year, can't talk about it," Vaughn said of the unnamed film. "And it's taking me so long to find a musical to do because the musical — like an action movie is only as good as the action or a comedy is only as good as the humor — a musical is only as good as the music, and Elton John's catalog is pretty hard to beat, so I'm trying to match it, at least, and I think we've nearly got there… it's batsh*t crazy, but it's fun."

Matthew Vaughn Teases More 'Kingsman' and 'Kick-Ass' Projects

During the discussion at NYCC, Vaughn revealed that a direct sequel to Kingsman: The Golden Circle is in development. "next year we're rebooting Kick-Ass and we will be making Kingsman 3." During a conversation with Collider's Maggie Lovitt, he also revealed a sequel to 2021's The King's Man titled The Traitor King.

Vaughn also revealed that instead of a direct sequel to Kick-Ass, his team plans to reboot the franchise as a whole, telling Lovitt it will be "f*cking crazy." He elaborated at the panel saying, "Kick-Ass sort of changed people's perception of what a superhero film is at that time. So we're doing it again, so it's none of the characters from the other Kick-Ass. We'd like to bring them back after the reboot, but this reboot, it's just going off on a tangent that I can't ... I really can't talk about that."

The last film directed by Vaughn as of late is The King's Man, a prequel to Kingsman and the third film in the franchise. The King's Man stars Ralph Fiennes, Gemma Arterton, Rhys Ifans, and Matthew Goode, and pulled in a worldwide total of $125 million at the box office against a budget of approximately $100 million. Vaughn's upcoming directorial effort, Argylle, will be released on February 2, 2024, by Universal Pictures and stars Henry Cavill, Dua Lipa, Bryce Dallas Howard, and more.
