With the first two Kingsman movies doing just over $400 million each, which is good for a new IP that reworked the comics they came from, it was no surprise when we learned that a third film is on track. While things move forward there at its own pace, a prequel film that’s apparently being done as a “period drama” in contrast to what the two films so far are like is closing in on us.
The film is set for a February 20th, 2020 debut where it’ll be called The King’s Man. After getting the first trailer back in July, the second has now landed and expands on its alternate-world history with how World War I came together and the formation of the Kingsmen.
The cast includes Harris Dickinson as Conrad, Daniel Brühl as Felix Yusupov, Rhys Ifans as Grigori Rasputin, Gemma Arterton as Mata Hari, Aaron Taylor-Johnson as Lee Unwin, Ralph Fiennes as the Duke of Oxford, Charles Dance as Field Marshall Haig, Matthew Goode as Tristan, Tom Hollander as George V/Wilhelm II/Nicholas II, Djimon Hounsou as Neil Kenlock, Stanley Tucci as Merlin, Alison Steadman as Guinevere, Robert Aramayo as Gavrilo Princip, Alexandra Maria Lara as Polly, and Joel Basman as Gawain.
Plot Concept: As a collection of history’s worst tyrants and criminal masterminds gather to plot a war to wipe out millions, one man must race against time to stop them. Discover the origins of the very first independent intelligence agency in The King’s Man, directed by Matthew Vaughn, coming to theaters in February 2020.
