The King's Man: Release Date, Cast, And More

(Welcome to ...And More, our no-frills, zero B.S. guide to when and where you can watch upcoming movies and shows, and everything else you could possibly stand to know.)

It's been several years since we last saw the "Kingsman" franchise grace the big screen. Though it hasn't been for a lack of interest on the studio side of things, as "The King's Man," a new entry in the action/spy series, has been ready to go for some time. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic, it had been repeatedly delayed. But the wait is almost over, and we're here to provide you with all the need-to-know details so you can be ready when it finally makes its way to theaters later this year.

Here is everything you need to know about "The King's Man."

"The King's Man" is set to hit theaters on Wednesday, December 22, 2021. It will be exclusively in theaters, meaning it won't be available to stream on the day of its release. So those who want to see it first will need to head to a theater in order to do so.

This is the third installment in the "Kingsman" franchise, based on the comics by Mark Millar and Dave Gibbons. It follows in the footsteps of "Kingsman: The Secret Service" and "Kingsman: The Golden Circle." However, it takes place long before the events of those movies, serving as a prequel, telling the story of the earliest days of the British organization.

Matthew Vaughn, who directed both prior installments, is back in the director's chair this time around. Vaughn also serves as a producer alongside David Reid and Adam Bohling. Vaughn also penned the screenplay alongside Karl Gajdusek ("Oblivion"). Ben Davis ("Guardians of the Galaxy") is on board as cinematographer, with Dominic Lewis and Matthew Margeson returning to handle the score.

As this is a prequel, we will be meeting a new cast this time around. The ensemble includes Ralph Fiennes ("No Time to Die"), Gemma Arterton ("Quantum of Solace"), Rhys Ifans ("The Amazing Spider-Man"), Matthew Goode ("A Discovery of Witches"), Tom Hollander ("The Night Manager"), Harris Dickinson ("The Darkest Minds"), Daniel Bruhl ("The Falcon and the Winter Soldier"), Djimon Hounsou ("Shazam!"), and Charles Dance ("Godzilla: King of the Monsters").

Because "The King's Man" has been delayed several times, we have seen several trailers for it. Above, we've included the most recent red-bad trailer, which previews the violent action to come. Additionally, we've included the movie's official plot synopsis for you to check out below.
