The big-budget espionage prequel in the Kingsman series is set to finally arrive in theaters on September 18 (in the US) after delays and reshoots.

The King’s Man digs deeper into the genesis myth of the espionage collective known as Kingsman. Set during World War II, this film follows a collection of the worst tyrants and criminal masterminds in history, all of whom gather to plot a war to wipe out millions of people, as one man races against time to put a stop to them. In this installation of the franchise, Ralph Fiennes and Harris Dickinson (last seen as Prince Phillip in Maleficent: Mistress of Evil) step into the shoes previously occupied by Colin Firth and Taron Egerton, taking over as the elder Kingsman and his latest recruit.

This film is the third in Matthew Vaughn’s series, following 2014’s Kingsman: The Secret Service and 2017’s Kingsman: The Golden Circle. The rest of the cast in The King’s Man includes Rhys Ifans, Gemma Arterton, Matthew Goode, Tom Hollander, Daniel Brühl, Djimon Hounsou, and Charles Dance. The screenplay was co-written by Vaughn and Karl Gajdusek.

It is uncertain when the film will reach our shores but here's hoping we don't have to wait too long. The last known release date for The King's Man in Singapore is September 17, with no word yet on any date shifts due to the closure of cinemas by the Coronavirus pandemic.
