The new entry in the series is the first not to be set in the modern-day \u2013 with the action instead unfolding more than a century ago, primarily against the backdrop of the First World War. The central characters are Orlando and Conrad Oxford, an aristocratic father and son who have rather differing attitudes towards war, but who both find themselves fighting against an evil alliance of baddies that includes the likes of notorious Russian monk Rasputin.<\/p>\n
The villains, who are headed up by a ruthless leader whose true identity is deliberately withheld from the audience, are hatching a plan to manipulate rising tensions in Europe to their own ends \u2013 with the goal of bringing about a global war and ultimately the destruction of England. In the process of preventing them, we watch as the Kingsman organisation is born.<\/p>\n
Where to watch? <\/strong>The King\u2019s Man is released in UK cinemas from Saturday 26th December 2021.<\/p>\n
Future Kingsman films<\/h3>\n
It looks like The King\u2019s Man won\u2019t be the last film in the franchise \u2013 with Vaughn keen to extend the series with future outings.<\/p>\n
One film which is already confirmed is a third entry in the main series \u2013 reportedly subtitled The Blue Blood \u2013 which will follow on from The Golden Circle and serve as the conclusion of Eggsy and Harry\u2019s storyline.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, a potential spin-off focusing on American agency Statesman is also in development, although it\u2019s not clear exactly when it might arrive in cinemas, with nothing confirmed regarding possible production dates.<\/p>\n
And Tom Hollander reckons there\u2019s lots of potential for further films in the vein of The King\u2019s Man as well, focusing on various different time periods.<\/p>\n
\u201c[Vaughn] has definitely got a whole load of stories in him,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd he can reinvent Kingsman anywhere, probably. The idea of these Arthurian knights dropped into different historical contexts \u2013 there\u2019s no end of possibilities.\u201d<\/p>\n
How to watch the Kingsman films in chronological order<\/strong><\/h2>\n
If you\u2019d rather watch the films in chronological order from when they\u2019re set, the correct order is as follows:<\/p>\n
The King\u2019s Man (2021)<\/h3>\n
The action here unfolds between 1902 (in a brief section at the opening) and 1918 making it by far the earliest film in terms of chronology. There are a few nods to the later films in the series \u2013 notably the significance of the tailor shop on Savile Row that will go on to become the organisation\u2019s headquarters.<\/p>\n
Kingsman: The Secret Service (2014)<\/h3>\n
The first film is set pretty much a century after the prequel, with the events taking place over two years in 2014 and 2015.<\/p>\n
Kingsman: The Golden Circle (2017)<\/h3>\n
The second film is set one year on from the first, in 2016, and takes place over the course of one week. Chronologically, this is the last we have seen of the Kingsman agency so far \u2013 but the upcoming third film will expand this timeline further.<\/p>\n
