“The King’s Man”, Matthew Vaughn’s World War I-era prequel to the popular spy franchise, in theaters then you’re about to get your second chance. The film will debut on Hulu on Feb. 18, the streaming service announced on Tuesday.

“The King’s Man” is truly insane. That is undeniable.

Believe it or not, buried in all the talk of “Spider-Man: No Way Home” and “The Matrix Resurrections,” there is a new ‘Kingsman’ film in theaters. The prequel, “The King’s Man,” is once again directed by Matthew Vaughn, but this time transports us back a century to see the early days of the Kingsman spy organization.

Matthew Vaughn has made no effort in hiding his love of superheroes. The filmmaker has previously directed superhero films such as “Kick-Ass” and “X-Men: First Class,” and his ‘Kingsman’ franchise is basically a superhero film series minus the capes and with tuxedos instead.

“The King’s Man” is the latest installment in the “Kingsman” franchise that began in 2013 with “Kingsman: The Secret Service” and continued with 2017’s “Kingsman: The Golden Circle,” but if Vaughn has his way it won’t be the last. Tangentially based on the comic book series “The Secret Service” by Mark Millar and Dave Gibbons, the first two films established a private spy organization run out of a Savile Row tailor shop.

There are distinct pleasures to be had in watching Ralph Fiennes play the lead in an action franchise at this stage in his career.For as fun as he is as erudite bon vivants, scoundrels and snobs, you always leave wanting more M. Gustav, more Laurence Laurentz, more Harry Hawkes.

Matthew Vaughn has made no effort in hiding his love of superheroes. The filmmaker has previously directed superhero films such as “Kick-Ass” and “X-Men: First Class,” and his ‘Kingsman’ franchise is basically a superhero film series minus the capes and with tuxedos instead.

For the past seven years, filmmaker Matthew Vaughn has been scratching his spy film itch with his ‘Kingsman’ franchise. Over the course of three films (the third of which, “The King’s Man,” arriving this week, read our review here), Vaughn has shown himself to be a pretty solid director of superspy material.

Henry Cavill has been discussing those James Bond rumours again.

Believe it or not, it’s been nearly a decade since “Kick-Ass 2” hit theaters back in 2013. Unfortunately, at the time, the superhero sequel wasn’t nearly as beloved as the 2010 original, and the franchise quickly sputtered out.

Matthew Vaughn goes back in time for a Kingsman prequel with tonally confused results. Part goofball comedy, part war drama, part action film, 20th Century Studios’ The King’s Man, which Disney releases December 22, stars Ralph Fiennes as Orlando Oxford, one of the early members of the secret Kingsman intelligence agency. Like his successors, he is suitably committed to fine tailoring and the aristocratic lifestyle, along with saving the world.

20th Century Studios’“The King’s Man” peaks somewhere around the middle, during the scene in which the sunken-eyed ghoul Rasputin (portrayed by Rhys Ifans, having a ball) performs some manner of restorative metaphysical cunnilingus by pressing his lips to the unmistakably yonic leg wound that undercover hero Orlando (Ralph Fiennes) sustained back in the Boer War.

Gemma Arterton shows off her shiny dress on the red carpet at the premiere of her new movie, The King’s Man, held at Cineworld Leicester Square on Monday (December 6) in London, England.

Cavill’s currently shooting the Apple TV+ spy film “Argylle” with Matthew Vaughn directing and is already eyeing a return for the third season of the mature fantasy series “The Witcher” ahead of the second season’s premiere on Netflix.

Matthew Vaughn’s Marv is teaming with Warner Music Group (WMG) on joint venture Marv Music.

Marta Balaga Following his directorial debut “Next Door” – which saw him poke fun at his international success as a movie star Daniel, forced to deal with a stalkerish neighbor on his way to a secret audition for a superhero movie – Daniel Brühl will be next seen in Matthew Vaughn’s spectacle “The King’s Man” as Erik Jan Hanussen, a stage clairvoyant born in 1889 and rumoured to have advised Hitler despite his Jewish origins.

James McAvoy spent a good chunk of his acting career playing a young version of Patrick Stewart‘s Professor Charles Xavier in the string “X-Men” prequels starting with Matthew Vaughn‘s “X-Men: First Class.” The British actor is currently promoting the “Sandman” podcast and revealed to Collider that he’s still itching to play “Star Trek” captain, Jean-Luc Picard.

Ariana DeBose (West Side Story, Schmigadoon!) is the final addition to the cast of Argylle, an actioner from Apple Original Films and Matthew Vaughn’s Marv Studios, which is currently in production in Europe.

The trailer for The King’s Man has just debuted online!

Matthew Vaughn loved the Bond series, but when he couldn’t finagle his way into making one of those films, he decided to start his own “Kingsmen” franchise.
