Despite this, fans claim the franchise lost momentum when the third movie, The King's Man, strayed from the formula, introducing new characters and shifting tones.
One person shared an unpopular opinion: "Unpopular opinion but I would have watched a Fast and Furious amount of movies about WWI Ralph Fiennes beating up bad guys throughout history.".
A viral post to X reads: "I fundamentally believe if they just did Kingsman 3 and not WW1 Ralph Fiennes fighting Rasputin they would've had a franchise on their hands.".
Another suggested: "They jumped the gun too early, Kingsman 3 would have been sick then do The King's Man as a spinoff after you're done with the main set.".
Meanwhile, other supporters are dissecting what exactly derailed the Ralph Fiennes-led prequel, despite Fiennes' familiarity with spy roles from the James Bond saga.
