Matthew Vaughnin ohjaama esiosa The King's Man saadaan Suomessa ensi-iltaan 7. tammikuuta, ja itse asiassa innoitusta on haettu Sean Conneryn elokuvasta Seikkailujen sankarit (The Man Who Would Be King) vuodelta 1975. Asiasta kertoi Slashfilm.
"It all started when I re-watched 'The Man Who Would Be King.' It reminded me when I fell in love with... I don't know if you've seen it, but it's an older film which, if you haven't seen it, for anyone who's reading this go watch it. It was a movie that had everything in it... epic adventure, unbelievable acting. I think one of Sean Connery's finest performances. [It had] Michael Caine, the original Kingsman. It had pathos — important messaging, comedy, fantasy. Had everything. And I was like, 'Wow, why don't we...' and I jokingly said, 'We should make 'The Man Who Would Be Kingsman.' "
The King's Man sijoittuu 1900-luvun alkuun.
