Overview
About the Film
The King's Man is a 2021 American action spy film directed by Matthew Vaughn, a prequel exploring the origins of the Kingsman intelligence agency during World War I. Ralph Fiennes stars as Orlando Oxford, the Duke of Oxford, a pacifist aristocrat who must abandon his principles and found the Kingsman organization when a shadowy cabal led by a Scottish shepherd played by Matthew Goode manipulates the Russian, German, and British empires into war. The film weaved real historical figures — Rasputin, Archduke Franz Ferdinand, Mata Hari, and others — into an alternate history thriller.
Rhys Ifans's performance as Rasputin, depicted as a flamboyant, sexually predatory mystic who engages in an elaborate dance-fight, was the film's most wildly entertaining sequence. The King's Man earned $127 million worldwide on a $100 million budget, a disappointing return partly attributed to multiple pandemic-related release delays.
