    Is this Disney getting nervous over what to do with Kingsman? It's been pushed back nearly a year now!

    Why would they do this? Someone doesn't like the actual movie? Bad news

    Seems like M's having more fun than Bond. Really looking forward to this one, much more than for the previous entries. Gotta love Fiennes.

    Love it. I was a huge fan of the first film when it came out, and I was disappointed by the second film (I think it took all the wrong elements from the first one), but this looks really entertaining, and anything that delves into this part of history, whether true or not, always has me intrigued.

    Nice to see Fiennes so front and center in a lot of these sequences. Looks wild, can't wait to see it.

    Looks cool, Gemma & Fiennes both looks good.

    The King's Man officially receives an R rating, for sequences of strong/bloody violence, language, and some sexual material.

    But will Ralph Fiennes drop as many F-bombs as he did in In Bruges? :-))

    Love when he calls his wife an "inanimate ****ing object." Such a gentleman!

    How cool are those? Thanks, @Creasy47, old pal. This one promises all sorts of fun.

    Anytime, @Univex, they're very cool. Digging the combination of the insanity of the Kingsman films wrapped up in a gorgeous looking WWI-set film. I hope it's a real blast because the trailers and images certainly look wild.

    Is anyone still excited for The King's Man? It will open in European countries in 3 weeks.

    Blimey, that's a last minute snatch.

    I guess their feeling (and what I got from the article) is that with Tenet opening domestically and more states in the U.S. opening up more and more theaters, they didn't want to compete against it.

    Apparently it's still coming out in the UK in September - according to Wikipedia but they may not have updated that part yet.

    Fresh news so it's possible that Wikipedia has yet to be updated.

    So all in all, if the film keeps that new date, it'll be a year long delay. Curious if the same thing will happen with NTTD - Tenet B.O. is weak and they opt to delay it several more months to March/April 2021, making it a full year delay, as well.

    The French release date has also just been delayed to February 2021. Wikipedia is just late in being updated.

    Maybe, yes. I was wondering if much is likely to have changed by Feb so that might well be the reasoning. I wonder if this is a sign of confidence in the film: they think it's good so don't want it thrown away.

    It's not being moved back just because of COVID. They're still in the process of actually editing it. It has a test screening in Las Vegas next month and possibly more scheduled.

    The reason it got pushed back the first time was because the initial cuts tested far more negatively than the studio expected. Not totally or even mostly negative, mind you, the action scenes and supporting actors all did well enough.

    However, for whatever reason, the test audiences did not take to Harris Dickinson's protagonist which is a bit of a problem since he's the movie's main character. Because of this, it went in for extensive reshoots that beefed up Ralph Fiennes and Gemma Arterton's roles.

    This was apparently not enough so now they're trying out multiple cuts which minimize and maximise Dickinson and Fiennes/Arterton's characters in different ways to see which tests better.

    If that's true, again I say that the days of boys and roles for boys are gone and studios should be made aware of that. People pushing for these youngsters to take on leading roles as leading men, aren't doing any favours to the art.

    I say let Bond be in his 40s. Let Batman be in his 40s. Let's have unapologetic roles for men again, like Indiana Jones and such. I'm sick of catering to the brittle minded y-gen pc-demented. Lets go back to the good old days of having leading MEN (and WOMEN).

    Anyone think audiences will confuse it with the Kingsmen films and think this will be the third one ? Of course, once you look at the poster, etc., it should be obvious, but folks sometimes go just by the title, and that would be enough.

    Well it kind of is the third Kingsman film, even if it's a prequel, so I wouldn't think that was a problem..?

    Anyone have any ideas who the bald villain is? I think it might be Aaron Taylor-Johnson... although we haven't seen who Stanley Tucci's playing either? Although the villain looks quite young.

    I know people think it might be Matthew Goode but here's a still of him as a different character.
