The Kingsman Franchise: A Look at the Cast and Crew
Origins and The Golden Circle
2017's The Golden Circle
The Kingsman franchise, based on the Millarworld comic book series "The Secret Service," has captivated audiences with its thrilling action sequences and witty humor. The first installment, "Kingsman: The Secret Service," introduced us to a secretive independent British intelligence agency known as Kingsman. Led by Harry Hart (Colin Firth), the agency recruits Eggsy Unwin (Taron Egerton), a rough-around-the-edges street kid who proves to be a surprisingly skilled spy. The 2017 sequel, "Kingsman: The Golden Circle," brings back Egerton as Eggsy, along with Mark Strong (Merlin) and Edward Holcroft (Eggsy's tech-savvy sidekick Roxy). This time, they face off against the evil Golden Circle, led by Poppy Adams (Julianne Moore). The film also introduces new characters played by Channing Tatum, Halle Berry, and Jeff Bridges.
The Kingsman Prequel: The King's Man
2021's The King's Man
In 2021, the franchise returned with a prequel, "The King's Man." Set in the early 1900s, the film tells the origin story of the Kingsman agency. Ralph Fiennes stars as Duke Orlando Oxford, a pacifist who becomes entangled in a conspiracy to assassinate key figures during World War I. The film features an impressive cast that includes Gemma Arterton, Rhys Ifans, and Matthew Goode.
The Future of the Franchise
With two successful films under its belt and a prequel that further expands the franchise's mythology, the future looks bright for Kingsman. Director Matthew Vaughn has hinted at plans for a third installment, and with the popularity of the franchise, it's likely that we haven't seen the last of these stylish and thrilling secret agents.
