How The King's Man Sets Up Another Sequel
The King's Man ends with the founding of the Kingsman intelligence agency and sets up where the story could go with a potential sequel. The King's Man's box office was railroaded somewhat by the unstoppable success of Spider-Man: No Way Home, and the spy movie also received a mixed critical reception. While the long-awaited Kingsman 3 starring Taron Egerton and Colin Firth is gearing up, the future of The King's Man prequel series is still up in the air. If The King's Man can find its audience on home release, there is still hope for The King's Man 2, and the seeds have already been sown for where the prequel story could go.
The King's Man is set in the early decades of the 1900s. It tells the story of how Orlando Oxford (Ralph Fiennes) is forced to turn from pacifist to super spy as he goes up against an evil shadow organization (led by «The Shepherd») that's plotting the downfall of Europe's monarchies. Assisted by allies Shola (Djimon Hounsou), Polly (Gemma Arterton), and son Conrad (Harris Dickinson), Oxford manages to foil the plot and turn the tide of the war, but it comes at the cost of Conrad's life. The King’s Man ends with Oxford, Polly, and Shola, along with Archie Reid (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), King George V (Tom Hollander), and the United States Ambassador (Stanley Tucci) gathered around the table in the Kingsman tailor shop. Dedicating themselves to "preserving peace and protecting life," they form the agency, each assuming a codename based on the legend of King Arthur — a favorite story of Conrad's growing up.
