The latest entry in Matthew Vaughn\u2019s Kingsman franchise differs from the previous outings in a number of ways.<\/p>\n

Not only does The King\u2019s Man<\/a> have a historical setting \u2013 with the events unfolding during the First World War \u2013 but it also includes several real-life historical figures among the cast of characters, with exaggerated versions of Grigori Rasputin (Rhys Ifans) and King George V (Tom Hollander) among those to appear.<\/p>\n

This all culminates in a mid-credits scene that introduces a couple of other well-known faces from history \u2013 read on for everything you need to know.<\/p>\n

The King\u2019s Man end credits explained<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The end credits scene takes place after Orlando (Ralph Fiennes) and his various accomplices have got the better of villain Morton aka The Shepherd (Matthew Goode) \u2013 and have now set up the Kingsman agency, the very same organisation that Harry and Eggsy from the first two films would go on to work for.<\/p>\n

But what the scene reveals is that despite Morton\u2019s demise, his league of villains is not going anywhere soon \u2013 and Erik Jan Hanussen (Daniel Br\u00fchl) has replaced him as the chief. More chilling than that, is the fact that the scene sees Hanussen introducing his friend Vladimir Lenin (August Diehl) to another new upstart \u2013 Adolf Hitler.<\/p>\n

The new Shepherd clearly sees Hitler as a potential ally in his bid to further exploit tensions in Europe, after being impressed by his presence at the assassination of Tsar Nicholas II.<\/p>\n
