The Kingsman universe may be expanding its’ reach. Matt Vaughn has been planning multiple spin-offs to his Kingsman franchise and Brad Pitt and Rachel Weisz could be involved.
According to a report from The Hashtag Show, Pitt (World War Z0 & Weisz (Disobedience) are both linked to a prequel for Kingsman titled ‘Kingsman: The Great Game’. This is a part of an overall goal to create an entire Kingsman universe with multiple spin-offs.
From the Hashtag Show:
The film will feature another prominent member of the Oxford household: Conrad’s nanny, Polly. Described as a ruthless force of nature, Polly is instrumental in raising Conrad and is not afraid to go toe-to-toe with his father. Academy Award-winning actress Rachel Weisz is currently circling the role of Polly, though no agreements have been reached at this time.
Another of the film’s leads will be one of the most enigmatic and influential figures of WWI: Grigori Rasputin (played by Brad Pitt). The film will certainly focus on Rasputin’s “unscrupulous and Machiavellian” ways in the final days of the Russian Imperialism. Casting is still in process for the role with Brad Pitt atop the list of actors Fox hopes to land, though they have not begun negotiating with the actor.
While this film is set to proceed after the final installation of the Kingsman franchise with Eggy & Harry), they also reported that Pitt & Weisz would both be involved in order to transition the universe into its next segment.
Kingsman 3 is expected in 2019 while there is no release date planned for Kingsman: The Great Game.
Along with the movie universe, Matt Vaughn has been in talks with studios to produce a Kingsman TV series which would be a total of 8 episodes.
