Ready to see Ralph Fiennes in another role? We’ve been huge fans since he appeared in the Harry Potter series (well, we loved his acting, not Voldemort himself, jeez), his very impressive and saddening role in The Reader alongside Kate Winslet, and his other roles in The Grand Budapest Hotel, Maid In Manhattan and Great Expectations.
The King’s Man is an upcoming period spy action comedy film that is loosely based on the comic book series Kingsman. The comic books inspired a very successful Kingsman franchise that has released two films before the current one which is supposed to be a prequel.
Matthew Vaughan directed the film while also acting as a producer with David Reid and Adam Bohling, and writing the screenplay along with Karl Gajdusek. Matthew Margeson and Dominic Lewis worked with the music, while Den Davis was the cinematographer and Jason Ballantine and Robert Hall edited the film.
What is the film all about? When is it going to come out? Is it worth watching? Well, you gotta keep on reading more in order to find out!
