A previous report indicated that the origin story may take place during World War I. Kingsman co-star Taron Egerton also noted that he wouldn’t be returning for the franchise’s origin story.
“I was with Matthew [Vaughn] as little as a few days ago, we’re still very much in business together, but his next journey in that world doesn’t involve me,” said Egerton.
