This prequel delves into the origins of the very first independent intelligence agency, setting the stage for the events that unfold in the later films.
The plot centers around a collection of history’s worst tyrants and criminal masterminds who gather to plot a war to wipe out millions. One man must race against time to stop them, uncovering the roots of the Kingsman agency in the process. The film promises a blend of historical intrigue and high-octane action, characteristic of the Kingsman series.
