In July 2021, it was announced that Argylle was intended to serve as a trilogy of films. In March 2022, it was confirmed that the first film will be followed by two sequels to complete a film trilogy. In October 2023, Vaughn confirmed plans to create additional movies, while stating that the second film would be a prequel, as "the first Argylle novel", exploring the origins of Argylle becoming a spy; while the third movie would follow additional installments. On the film's release, its mid-credits scene, after displaying a younger Argylle (portrayed by Louis Partridge) being recruited by Kingsman,
displays a note onscreen stating that "'Argylle: Book One' will be coming soon".
In October 2023, Matthew Vaughn announced his plans to create a larger spy-themed universe through his Marv Studios, with that universe being interconnected and comprising the Kingsman franchise, the Argylle films, and an unnamed third franchise. His intention was to have the new upcoming films in each series culminate in a crossover in the future.
