In 2020, they will become kings. Watch the new teaser trailer for The King's Man now. See the film in theatres February 14, 2020.

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.

[C19fan]

Based on the first "Kingsman" the origin of the independent agency was British aristocrats who lost all their male heirs to the Great War, so there is nobody to inherit the title and land, pooling their resources to create their own spy agency. This appears to be the origin story.

Is the bad guy Rasputin?

Gemma Arterton is my platonic ideal of feminine beauty.

According to Wikipedia one actor Tom Hollander will play the three cousin monarchs: George V, Willie, and Nicholas II.

One still shot has flags of Bosnia and Herzegovina, red and yellow horizontal bicolour when it was a province of the Hapsburg Empire. The foreground shows what I would gather is the first attempt to assassinate Archduke Ferdinand with a bomb.

Looked interesting...until I saw they included a token black guy.

[sinsofsolarempirefan]

The men of the King’s Liverpool Regiment (including my G-Grandfather) might have been a bit upset that someone had usurped their title as ‘Kingsmen’. Our local Regiment (the Duke oF Lancaster’s) are still known as ‘Kingsman’ instead of ‘Private’.

marching to the tune of “Louie, Louie”..?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

We have met the enemy and they are going to kill us unless we kill them first.

Well, I’ve never seen a post from you complaining about movie makers adding in random white men as members of Zulu armies. I know ... your excuse will be that movie makers don’t do that. ;-)

The first “Kingsman” movie was outstanding.

The second one was hideously bad.

Let’s hope this third one is more like the former than the latter.

Gemma Arterton is my platonic ideal of feminine beauty.

The cinema definitely needs more Gemma Arterton.

The second one was hideously bad.

Yeah - never saw the first, only the second. My wife walked out and I stayed - I like bad car accidents too....

Really? If you allow me to go back a few years, I would pick Gene Tierney, Jeanne Crain or Grace Kelly in that category.

[Scrambler Bob]

Darn

I thought we were going to finally get the real lyrics to Louie Louie.

I'll take that over throwing in a pervert hero character. "Man in the High Castle" became unwatchable because of that.

[x]

Colin Firth isn't in it, so that's good.

But otherwise, what's the point?

Sequels to movies that weren't worth seeing to begin with.

C'mon, now. It's fun fiction. A popcorn action flick, not a historically-accurate docudrama. It's OK to have black characters in movies. We're conservatives, not the Klan.

[dinodino]

Well said.

[TigersEye]

LOL

[SauronOfMordor]

The first movie had Obama as one of the bad guys whose head explodes at the end.

They had a leftist script writer for the second movie.

I've been collecting Gemma Arterton movies for some while now.
