Attachment 27288

Matthew Vaughn's Kingsman movie prequel is officially titled The King's Man. Based on Dave Gibbons and Mark Millar's The Secret Service comic books, the Kingsman films launched with 2015's Kingsman: The Secret Service, with Vaughn directing a cast that included Taron Egerton, Colin Firth, and Samuel L. Jackson. The movie served as an origin story for Egerton's character, Gary "Eggsy" Unwin, and followed him as he transformed from an ex-Royal Marines trainee to an agent who works for Britain's top-secret spy organization, aka. The Kingsman.

The Secret Service was mostly received well-received by critics and earned enough at the box office ($414 million worldwide on a $81 million budget) to get a sequel green-lit. The second film, Kingsman: The Golden Circle, didn't go over so well with critics, but still made a bundle ($411 million on a $104 million budget), and led to Vaughn getting the go-ahead on a Kingsman prequel. However, the film will not be titled Kingsman: The Great Game, as the director himself recently confirmed.

Instead, Fox has announced the the film is simply called The King's Man. You can check out the official logo above, then read on for the film's newly-released synopsis:
