Predicting 20 Comic Book Movies Announced In 2017

11. Kingsman 3

Wolverine Movie
Fox

When The Secret Service made more than $400m off an $80m budget, it was inevitable that a sequel would follow, and while it will inevitably be more expensive, the addition of some great talent on the cast and the continued spirit of the original should mean a similarly successful performance this time around.

Given the comic book movie watching public's passion for edgier, R-Rated genre movies in the wake of Deadpool and Logan, there's a good chance The Golden Circle will actually out-perform its predecessor, and that would male a follow-up more likely.

Evidence?

If the second film does well, a sequel will probably be greenlit very quickly, and from what Taron Egerton says, it wouldn't be at all surprising if the conversation about a trilogy hadn't already happened:

"Matthew is a very much 'Don't count the chickens before they've hatched' kind of guy, but he also has a real sense of Kingsman being his baby and he won't jeopardise it with a crap idea. So it depends what occurs, and whether it feels right to him, but I don't think for a second that either he or myself, the lovely people at Fox and whoever else is interested in Kingsman, wouldn't completely love it if this is a continuing series."
