Mark Millar Explains How All The Millarworld Books Tie-In Together - Wanted, Kick Ass, Jupiter's Legacy, Superior, Nemesis, MPH, Supercrooks And More - But No News Yet On The Unfunnies (UPDATE) - Bleeding Cool News And Rumors". They share the same background, so London is an example of a spy who turned his life around after growing up in the same neighborhood. Because of this, many of the trappings of the organization—the gadgets, the codenames, “Manners Maketh Man”—are all things original to the film. In the book, big bad Arnold stays unaware that the Kingsman exist, and has London killed before he can realize he’s a spy assigned to unpack the celebrity kidnappings. Uncle Jack then helps him rent a very respectful apartment for his mother and younger brother to reside in.

In the film, Valentine does something similar, but is more pragmatic, choosing to spare the world leaders who adopt his ideology. Finding them in a hotel room together, Arnold doesn’t hesitate or wait for London to open the door before Gazelle shoots him in the head through the peephole. The film series is to continue with a third Kingsman film, titled Kingsman: The Blue Blood, [3] and a second The King's Man film, The King's Man: The Traitor King, as well as a spin-off eight-hour television limited series centred around the franchise's American spy agency, Statesman. The art from Gibbons is as great as ever and I have to say that this is a comic book worth having in your collection. I generally like Mark Millar’s Millarworld books but I couldn’t believe how derivative so much of this book was.Jackson plays Richmond Valentine, the billionaire-villain (Dr James Arnold in the comic) in the movie.

Expanding upon the cruelty of this turn of events, Eggsy’s dad’s death is used as proof that Harry is wrong about recruiting spies from different economic backgrounds. The series, following the recruitment of Gary London (later renamed Eggsy Unwin), into a secret spy organization by his uncle, Jack London, and his subsequent world-saving adventures, was initially published simply as The Secret Service before being rebranded following the release of the first film adaptation of the series.

But as a way of acknowledging this scene from the book, Professor Arnold, not Hamill, is kidnapped by Valentine, and Arnold is played by none other than Mark Hamill.

Millar and Vaughn stated that a sequel was possible if the first film performs well at the box office, and Vaughn expressed interest in directing the sequel. There's also the letter Millar wrote to Dave Gibbons when he was in school about how much he liked Watchmen along with a pitch for a Shazam book. In the days before the film's release, another mobile game based on the Kingsman franchise, simply titled Kingsman: The Secret Service, was announced to be in development also for iOS and Android, by American mobile game developer YesGnome.What Secret Service doesn’t have is a character like Roxy, who can provide a female perspective on what it’s like to participate in training. Making their way inside the base, the pair find Du Preez sitting naked on a hill of jewels and gold bars. They ambush and battle the troops, freeing the celebrities in the process, including Pierce Brosnan, Patrick Stewart and David Beckham. In Kingsman, we’re introduced to Gary’s father, who sacrifices his life to save a number of agents—one of which is Harry Hart (Colin Firth’s character, the film version of Jack London).
