Even more new images from 20th Century Studios’The King’s Manhave arrived and they featureRalph Fienneswearing the hell out of a leather jacket. So, basically, these new images have my seal of approval. Fiennes’The King’s Manco-starsDjimon HounsouandGemma Artertonalso make an appearance in the new pics, which tease more of the early 20th century, super-secret spy vibes of the upcoming movie.
The new photos, as well as a very interesting tease fromThe King’s MandirectorMatthew Vaughn, were revealed as part of anEmpire Magazineexclusive earlier this week. This Vaughn interview in particular features some interesting commentary on the connections betweenThe King’s Manand the plannedKingsmanthreequel. According to Vaughn: “We’ve put seeds for what’s going to happen inKingsman 3all the way back into this, and it’s going to be very different.”
Vaughn then went on to before going on to entertain the idea of possibly directing Kingsman 3, telling Empire: “I actually don’t know what I want to do. There is an opportunity for a director to really change it up, but I’m considering it.”
Welp, it looks like no great state secrets were spilled by Vaughn aboutThe King’s Man. But — but! — the director’s mention of specific events in thisKingsmanprequel connecting to the third movie will surely keep franchise fans on their toes when they watch the movie in September. That, plusThe King’s Man’s dive into the history of the Kingsman spy agency and the early World War I events these agents — played by Fiennes, Hounsou, Arterton, andHarris Dickinson— get roped into will no doubt make for a very fun viewing experience.
The King’s Manis currently scheduled for release on July 05, 2025. Check out the new pictures below. For more, check out our2020 upcoming movie release calendar.
