What does the cast say about The King’s Man?
Ralph Fiennes as Orlando Oxford said, “It’s a ripping yarn. The film is very funny and has got some extraordinary set pieces.” Gemma Arterton as Polly said, “This film is like nothing I’ve ever done before. It’s an action-adventure movie with a bit of comedy thrown in – something for everyone.” Rhys Ifans as Grigori Rasputin said, “I play the most notorious man in Russian history who was brought down by his own hubris. He was a fascinating character to research and play.”
Matthew Goode as Morton said, “The challenge for me was to play somebody who is quite Machiavellian and slippery but also someone who you understand why he does what he does.” Director Matthew Vaughn said, “I’m really proud of this movie. It’s my love letter to James Bond, The Avengers, and Kingsman all mixed into one.”
Why is The King’s Man movie worth watching?
The movie rather than depending too vigorously on crude humour and knockabout comedy, The King’s Man dominates at dry British mind; the Duke of Oxford (Ralph Fiennes) has numerous shrewd lines suggestive of British joke artist Stephen Fry. The movie also has clarity of cinematography in the fight scenes which is otherwise poor in other instalments. The King’s Man is a prequel to the movie Kingsman: The Secret Service. If you’re a fan of that movie, then you’ll definitely want to check out this one as well. The trailers make it look pretty good and I’m excited to see it!

Is something coming new?
Yes, there is. Talking to Collider, Vaughn teased the next film in the franchise, The Blue Blood. He said, “Eggsy and Harry [will be in it], obviously. But it’s the gang coming back together and it’s one of those moments that…when we wrote the screenplay, it was very much about, okay, I saw how people loved the relationship of Eggsy and Harry. So we just came up with this thing, what could be the ultimate reason for them to either fall in love or to hate each other forever? So that’s what this movie is all about is will they or won’t they, let’s just say.”
