An Archer-Kingsman crossover was something that never really crossed my mind, but it makes perfect sense, especially after seeing it in action. The opening clip began with Eggsy running on rooftops and leaping from building to building, only it was in animated form. Very similar to the style of Archer. Eggsy finally arrives at Kingsman, but when he enters, he finds Archer in the dressing room, surrounded by weapons he “found” behind the hooks. After some Archer-esque banter, Eggsy suggests they deal with this escalating situation by determining who can drink the most alcohol. Before Eggsy can have an opportunity to pour, Archer has been to consume the bourbon straight from the bottle, and within a matter of seconds, it’s all gone, sending Archer to the floor.

Comic-Con 2017 is just right around the corner, and they’ve begun to send out the schedule of events. The big event is going to be the 20th Century Fox panel. Hopefully we see some of Deadpool 2, The Predator, and Kingsman: The Golden Circle. I’m also pretty excited for the Netflix panel as well; Bright has been a project that has been kept secret, so it’d be great to see some new footage from that. Ayer is one of the most insane filmmakers working today, and after Suicide Squad being torn apart, he deserves to have a film that sticks to his original vision. What are you most excited for?
