Matthew Vaughn explains why his prequel The King's Man was made before Kingsman 3, revealing he once had very different plans for the movie.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Kingsman director Matthew Vaughn has explained why the prequel movie The King’s Man was made before the long-awaited Kingsman 3. Serving as the prequel to both 2014’s Kingsman: The Secret Service and 2017’s Kingsman: The Golden Circle, 2021’s The King’s Man charted the formation of the Kingsman private secret intelligence organization during the events of World War I.
While hosting a panel at this year’s New York Comic Con with a Screen Rant correspondent in attendance, Vaughn revealed that his original intention was for The King’s Man to be a television series released for the anniversary of World War I. He also revealed that the impetus for the prequel was born from the speech in the first movie about wealthy aristocrats losing their children and founding the Kingsman agency as a means of preventing future wars.
The King’s Man was meant to be a TV series, and the anniversary of World War I, and what happened, and what was going on in the world, and I always love the speech from the movie about the founding of the Kingsman about aristocratic rich people losing their children and then founding the Kingsman and giving the money to an agency to make sure a war would never break out again.
Would The King’s Man Have Been More Successful As A TV Series? With the first two Kingsman movies each grossing over $400 million worldwide, hopes for Vaughn’s prequel were high when the project was first announced. However, when the movie finally made its theatrical debut after a string of continuous delays, reviews were mixed, and the movie struggled to attract a fraction of the box office takings of its predecessors.
While several factors could be blamed for The King’s Man’s less-than-stellar performance, not least of which was the timing of its eventual release and a brief theatrical window before its streaming availability, the prequel ultimately failed to live up to the considerable success enjoyed by the other movies in the franchise.
