The prequel film to Matthew Vaughn's Kingsman: The Secret Service film series, originally meant to open this fall, has been pushed back to the winter of 2020. As such, the trilogy capper of the franchise will be delayed as well.
The writer-director revealed this during a chat with Digital Spy, saying: "This Kingsman [prequel; possibly titled The Great Game] has been pushed back to February 14th for coming out, and so, yeah, as soon as that's done, we're looking forward to [making the third one]."
He also added, "It's funny. As Taron [Egerton] was saying, he's looking forward to becoming Eggsy again, because emotionally, it's a lot less draining" — likely referring to the actor's splashy turn as Elton John in the upcoming biopic Rocketman.

Confirming that the third movie in the series would, indeed, close out the story of Eggsy Unwin (Egerton) and Harry Hart (Colin Firth), Vaughn added: "We've got to finish off the Eggsy and Harry relationship. The final chapter of their relationship needs to be told, which we've got ready to do, and I'm hoping to shoot that later this year or the beginning of next year."
