Argylle: How the New Matthew Vaughn Film Connects to the Kingsman Movies
This article contains major spoilers for ArgylleMatthew Vaughn has spent the last decade building out the world of the Kingsman films. After Kingsman: The Secret Service was a solid success when it was released in early 2014, Vaughn immediately got to work on expanding the scale of the universe that Kingsman exists within. At first, this consisted solely of its direct sequel, 2017’s Kingsman: The Golden Circle, and the following prequel, 2021’s The King’s Man. That said, with the release of Argylle, it seemed like Vaughn was branching out into a new story for the first time since the debut of Kingsman ten years ago. However, in a film full of twists, turns and reveals, the biggest is saved for last: Argylle is yet another entry in the broader Kingsman franchise.
