Anything can happen: Mark Strong on his possible return in ‘Kingsman 3’

Actor Mark Strong is not ruling out the possibility of him returning for the third instalment in the Kingsman franchise despite his character’s death. The movie was theoretically scheduled to release this year but has been delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 

During the promotions of his latest release ‘Cruella’, Mark told celebrity interviewer JoBlo that “anything can happen” in the universe inspired by Mark Millar and Dave Gibbons’ comic book series.

“I think there is a third in conversation and, you know, in that universe anything can happen, as you well know. You know, I mean Colin was shot in the eye, he comes back and he’s fine, so you know, it’s fantasy. So I don’t rule it out,” the 57-year-old actor said when asked about his possible return as Merlin.

The production of ‘Kingsman 3’ was supposed to start last year. However, right now it is in an interim in which the makers have not even announced a director.
