The King’s Man shifted to 2021

The King’s Man has been facing release date issue for quite a long time now. The movie was initially set to release on November 15, 2019, but was later pushed to February 14, 2020. Then the film was scheduled to hit the theatres on September 18, 2020. Now Disney has provided a fresh date for its 20th Century Studios’ spy action project. The King’s Man is currently eyeing to premiere in cinemas on February 26, 2021.

The King’s Man original fell under 20th Century Fox Studios but has made its way to Disney after the latter bought the film's rights in late 2019. Disney is going ahead with the release of Marvel Comics characters’ movie, The New Mutants, which also was a part of Fox. However, the delay of The King’s Man did not come as a surprise to many because there was no promotion of the movie taking place, since its trailer was released in July 2020. It seems like the studio is opting for a late but theatrical release for the project as it is a part of a franchise which has garnered many praises from the audiences.
