Watch the gritty first teaser trailer for the 'Kingsman' prequel, titled 'The King's Man'

Twentieth Century Fox

• Twentieth Century Fox released the first teaser trailer for "The King's Man," a prequel for the "Kingsman" films.

• The film predates the shiny tech of the "Kingsman" movies. Instead, it shows men on battlefields, firing shots, and dodging explosions.

• The teaser and official synopsis suggest that it takes place around the same time as WWI: "As a collection of history's worst tyrants and criminal masterminds gather to plot a war to wipe out millions, one man must race against time to stop them. Discover the origins of the very first independent intelligence agency in The King's Man."

• Ralph Fiennes, Harris Dickinson, Gemma Arterton, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Daniel Brühl star in the movie. 

• "The King's Man" hits theaters on Friday, February 14, 2020. Watch the teaser trailer below.
