The critics have a lot of choice words for The King's Man and its over-the-top take on history, which is just fine with the filmmakers apparently. See it in theaters December 22.
The King's Man is a 2021, 20th Century Studios live-action feature film based on the comics The Secret Service by Mark Millar. It is the third film in the Kingsman film series and is a prequel to the previous movies.
Set in the early 1900s, it focuses on the Duke of Oxford (Ralph Finnes) mentor to young Conrad (Harris Dickinson) as they become the first agents in the newly-formed independent intelligence agency, The Kingsman. They'll come up against a collection of history's worst tyrants and criminal masterminds who have gathered to plot a war to wipe out millions.
The cast also includes Rhys Ifans as Grigori Rasputin, Gemma Arteton as Polly, Tom Hollander as King George V, Daniel Bruhl, Djimon Hounsou and Aaron Taylor-Johnson.
Matthew Vaughn, who directed the previous installments, returns to direct from a script he wrote with Karl Gajdusek.
