The King's Man Video Teases The Kingsman Franchise's Origin Story

A new video teasing The King's Man takes viewers back through the history of the spy organization at the center of the franchise. Between 2015's Kingsman: The Secret Service and 2017's Kingsman: The Golden Circle, the big screen franchise based on Mark Millar's comic book series has become a success in its own right. Though The Golden Circle saw some diminishing returns, the series is pressing on with the prequel The King's Man. Once again directed by Matthew Vaughn, the WWI-set film will revisit the origins of the Kingsman organization, back when it was comprised of a handful of members determined to save millions.

The King's Man has endured a lengthy road to the big screen, having once been scheduled for release in late 2019. The film was later delayed twice, and then the coronavirus pandemic led to even more delays for the period piece. As of right now, The King's Man will arrive in theaters on December 22 of this year, making it one of the many potential tentpoles scheduled for the final quarter of 2021. Whether this date will finally hold remains to be seen, but it looks like the movie's promotional efforts are starting up again.

On Tuesday, 20th Century Studios unveiled a special look at The King's Man. The behind the scenes peek takes a look at the early beginnings of the Kingsman organization and offers peeks at new characters played by Ralph Fiennes, Djimon Hounsou, and Gemma Arterton. Plus, there are plenty of playful references to the first two movies. Check it out below.

The King's Man also stars Harris Dickinson, Daniel Brühl, Rhys Ifans, Matthew Goode, Tom Hollander, and Charles Dance. The decision to head back to the past instead of going straight to Kingsman 3 came as a surprise to some, but it's clear from the video above that there is a deep history to mine. The WWI setting should only add to the excitement, and hopefully the new Kingsman mythology will enhance what the first two movies already established about this group of gentleman spies.

Prequels sometimes struggle to resonate with audiences because they either lack sufficient connections to their future stories, or because they just feel superfluous. So far, The King's Man looks to fit within the Kingsman mold very well, and that could be because Vaughn remains attached as director. Period spy adventures aren't too common, so it should be a lot of fun watching this one play out. The King's Man is ready for its time in the spotlight, and hopefully it won't endure any further delays.
