Movies Kingsman prequel first trailer released By James Hibberd James Hibberd James Hibberd is the former editor at large at Entertainment Weekly. He left EW in 2021. EW's editorial guidelines Published on July 15, 2019 09:24AM EDT The first trailer for The Kingsman prequel — titled The King’s Man — is here. The film explores the origins of the mysterious British intelligence agency and is revealed in the trailer to be set during World War I and its aftermath. The film stars Ralph Fiennes along with Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Gemma Arterton. The King’s Man is once again directed and co-written by Matthew Vaughn, but interestingly seems to have a bit more of a serious tone than the first two films — at least, judging by the trailer. Official description: “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.” Vaughn has also previously said he intends to wrap up the first two Kingsman films with a present-day sequel that concludes the relationship between Harry Hart (Colin Firth) and Eggsy (Taron Egerton) relationship. The film is slated for a Feb. 14, 2020 release. 20th Century Fox Related content: The Kingsman prequel is now known as The King’s Man Kingsman: The Great Game forms a Kick-Ass cast with Aaron Taylor-Johnson Kingsman 3 set for 2019 with Matthew Vaughn returning to write, direct
