Kingsman is a British film franchise, consisting of action-comedy films, that follow the missions of the Kingsman, a fictional secret service organization. Based on the comic book series of the same name created by Mark Millar and Dave Gibbons, a 2012 Marvel Comics release, the film franchise debut has garnered success both financially and critically.
Kingsman: The Secret Service, directed by Matthew Vaughn from a script he co-wrote with Jane Goldman, was released in February 2015. The film starred Colin Firth and Taron Egerton. A sequel, Kingsman: The Golden Circle, was released in September 2017. A prequel, The King's Man, was theatrically released in the United States in December 2021.[1] The first two Kingsman films were released by 20th Century Fox.
The film series is to continue with a fourth Kingsman film, titled Kingsman: The Blue Blood, and a spin-off film Statesman, which are in development. The franchise is also to expand to television with an eight-hour limited series, currently in development. Adaptations of the films have been published, and a handful of Kingsman video games have been released since 2012.
The Kingsman film franchise is based on the comic series of the same name, which began with the 2012 comic book The Secret Service. Two sequels, The Big Exit and The Red Diamond, followed in 2017 and 2018 respectively. The series was initially known as The Secret Service before being rebranded after the first Kingsman film's release.[NB 1] The series was created by Mark Millar and Dave Gibbons. It is set in Millar's shared universe, the "Millarverse". An example of this is when the celebrity kidnappings that take place in Kingsman Vol. 1 are referenced in Kick Ass: The Dave Lizewski Years Book Fou
