Now there’s word from The Daily Mail that Ralph Fiennes has been tapped to play the man who spearheads Kingsman’s creation in this prequel, which apparently isn’t called The Great Game anymore.
Back in June, director Matthew Vaughn, who wrote and directed the first two Kingsman movies, said that in addition to Kingsman 3, i.e. a direct sequel to The Golden Circle, there were other projects in development to flesh out this universe, including a prequel called Kingsman: The Great Game that would will follow the spy organization in the early 1900s.
Fiennes will reportedly be joined by Harris Dickinson, who starred in the FX series Trust and will soon be seen in Maleficent II.
No specific plot details were revealed, but apparently the Kingsman prequel will involve some fictional storylines involving the Duke of Lancaster’s Regiment, which really exists and uses the Kingsman rank, the equivalent of a private.
