Special Look at The King’s Man
In the prequel we’ll get a look at the organization’s origins. Our first glimpse of the KIngsmen prequel came way back at New York Comic-Con in 2019. Ralph Fiennes plays the Duke of Oxford, who brings his son Conrad into the Kingsmen mix. Together they’ll battle the Raspuitins of the world as they try to stave off world destruction… Secretly, of course.
Matthew Vaughn directs The King’s Man, starring Ralph Fiennes and Gemma Arterton. Joining them are Rhys Ifans, Matthew Goode, Tom Hollander, Harris Dickinson, and Daniel Brühl (The Falcon and the Winter Soldier). Djimon Hounsou and Charles Dance round out the cast. Vaughn wrote the story as well as the screenplay, the latter of which he penned together with Karl Gajdusek. The story is based on the comic book “The Secret Service” by Mark Millar and Dave Gibbons
As of right now all signs point to the film releasing solely in theaters on December 22. Stayed tuned here to That Hashtag Show for more details on The King’s Man as we get closer, including interviews and our in-depth review!
