The King's Man (2021)
Start with the origin story: The King's Man. This film takes you back to early 20th-century Europe, where the Kingsman agency was born. Orlando Oxford (Ralph Fiennes) is the head spy, and he's got his son Conrad (Harris Dickinson), his housekeeper Polly (Gemma Arterton), and his fighter Shola (Djimon Hounsou) with him. They team up to lay the groundwork for Kingsman HQ. What makes this film stand out is its mix of historical figures (Tom Hollander plays three royals!) with the wild action we've come to expect from Marv Films and 20th Century Studios. It's the perfect way to kick off your marathon.
Kingsman: The Secret Service (2014)
Next, check out the film that got the ball rolling for audiences: Kingsman: The Secret Service. Hey, so let me introduce you to Eggsy (Taron Egerton), Harry Hart (Colin Firth), Merlin (Mark Strong), and the iconic tailor shop HQ. This film has all the best bits of British espionage action, with a funny twist. We've got umbrella weapons and an awesome church fight scene that'll stick with you. Set after The King's Man, it shows how the Kingsman agency has done well in modern times. With Samuel L. Jackson as the bad guy, Richmond Valentine, and Sofia Boutella as his sidekick, Gazelle, the stakes are high. If this film doesn't make you a fan of the franchise, nothing will.
Kingsman: The Golden Circle (2017)
Think Kingsman can't get any crazier? Enter Kingsman: The Golden Circle. This follow-up takes the action to America, where the Kingsman meet their counterparts: the Statesman agency, which is based in a whiskey distillery. Hey, let me introduce you to Tequila (Channing Tatum), Whiskey (Pedro Pascal), Ginger Ale (Halle Berry), and Champagne (Jeff Bridges). So, after a pretty rough attack on the British HQ, Eggsy and Merlin team up with their American allies to take on a global threat. Julianne Moore really shines as Poppy Adams, with her 50s-villain lair and robotic dogs. Bigger, louder, and more insane, this film is a must-watch in your marathon.
Argylle (2024)
Finally, there's Argylle. At first, this spy film seems like a standalone, but if you look closer, you'll see its connection to the broader Vaughn universe. Henry Cavill stars as the mysterious Agent Argylle in a plot that blurs reality and fiction. Bryce Dallas Howard plays Elly Conway, the writer of the Argylle books, or is she more? With a star-studded cast including Sam Rockwell, John Cena, Dua Lipa, Ariana DeBose, and a cat named Alfie, Argylle is a meta-spy adventure that expands the Kingsman world. Universal Pictures and Marv Films are clearly building towards something bigger. Keep an eye out for Easter eggs and nods to the Kingsman and Statesman agencies.
Why This Order Works
By following this timeline: The King's Man, The Secret Service, The Golden Circle, and Argylle, you can see how the Kingsman universe has changed over time. Check out how the agency got started during WWI, how it transformed into a modern secret service, and how it expanded into a larger espionage network.
For fans of British espionage action with a twist, this order is perfect. You start with the backstory, then get the modern adventures of Eggsy and Harry Hart, and finish with a big expansion of the universe. It's got everything: the Kingsman-style umbrella weapon, the explosive Statesman drama, and the spy meta-fiction of Argylle.
Binge Tips for Your Kingsman Marathon
Plan ahead: these films are fast-paced and intense. Hey, just a heads-up: start early, plan breaks (for cocktails or a Statesman whiskey, of course), and mix action with fan theory discussions. Also, if you're watching with friends, Create teams: Team Kingsman is going up against Team Statesman and Team Alfie the Cat. Or maybe you'd like to vote on the best agent? Eggsy, Galahad, Whiskey, or Argylle? Keep an eye out for recurring symbols (like glasses, umbrellas, and watches) and hidden connections.
Snacks? For the first two films, go with British-style snacks like scones, tea, and shortbread. Then, for The Golden Circle, switch to American diner food like burgers and milkshakes. For Argylle, anything goes, as long as we make sure Alfie gets a snack too. Is This the End of the Vaughn Cinematic Universe? Definitely not. Director Matthew Vaughn has hinted at a Kingsman 3, and with Argylle, it seems a connected universe is forming where Kingsman, Statesman, and Argylle coexist in the same espionage ecosystem. With support from Marv Films, 20th Century Studios, and Universal Pictures, this is evolving from a trilogy into a full-fledged modern spy franchise with endless possibilities. There are new agents, gadgets, and twists to explore. Keep your watchlist at the ready, because this is just the beginning.
Ready to binge? Make some popcorn, turn down the lights, and get ready to start with The King's Man. The Kingsman agency is waiting for you.
