Kingsman is a British-American media franchise focused on the fictional organisation "Kingsman", which originally appeared in a spy action-comedy comic book series written by Mark Millar and Dave Gibbons, colored by Angus McKie, and published by Icon Comics, an imprint of Marvel Comics. Volume 1 of this series, released in 2012, deals with a super-spy recruiting his young nephew to the secret service, channeling the classic James Bond films, and other spy thrillers. The first volume of the series was originally known simply as The Secret Service and was rebranded to tie-in with the 2014 film of the same name.
The comic series is set in Mark Millar's shared universe, the "Millarverse"; with the celebrity kidnappings taking place in Kingsman Vol. 1 being referenced in Kick-Ass 3 #8. A stand-alone sequel set in both the continuity of the original comic and that of the film series, subtitled The Big Exit, was released in the September/October 2017 issue of Playboy Magazine, by Rob Williams with art from Ozgur Yildirim. The second volume of Kingsman, subtitled The Red Diamond, was released through Image Comics in September 2017. A feature film loosely based on The Secret Service, directed by Matthew Vaughn and co-written by Jane Goldman, was released in February 2015. The film stars Colin Firth, Taron Egerton, Michael Caine, Samuel L. Jackson, Mark Strong, Sophie Cookson, Sofia Boutella, Jack Davenport, and Mark Hamill. A sequel to this film, subtitled The Golden Circle, was released in September 2017.

Kingsman Vol. 1 - The Secret Service
An unknown group of terrorists capture Mark Hamill, a famous Hollywood actor, who is held against his will at a cabin in the mountains in Switzerland. A man shows up and identifies himself as a British secret service agent, and rescues Hamill. They are unsuccessfully pursued by terrorists on snowmobiles. As Hamill and the agent reach the edge of a cliff, they jump off with a parachute, but it turns out to be a misfortune as the parachute opens up too late and both of them crash to their deaths.
Sir Giles, the head of Kingsman, discusses the matter with one of his agents, Jack London, as there have been several kidnappings of famous celebrities which are believed to be linked to each other. Suddenly, Jack receives a call from his sister-in-law, who tells him that her son, Eggsy, was arrested by the police for smashing up a stolen car and that Jack needs to bail him out. Jack, at first, opposes the idea, but reluctantly uses his national security card to get the boy out of prison.
Meanwhile, in Hawaii, a massive murder takes place during a wedding ceremony when brides and grooms slaughter each other. This is later revealed to be controlled by Dr. James Arnold, a very wealthy cellphone entrepreneur, as a test for his upcoming evil schemes. Jack is briefed about the assignment hours later, which he declines temporarily in favor of a "family reunion."
Uncle Jack, seeing the potential in Eggsy, takes him under his wing and reveals his true occupation, rather than the Fraud Squad officer story he has told his family. He offers Eggsy a chance to do something useful instead of wasting his life in the back-alleys and hanging out with thugs. Eggsy accepts and Uncle Jack takes him to a secret training facility, where he is introduced to his training officer, Rupert Greaves. Eggsy resides in the facility for three years while training as a secret agent.
Greaves reports to Sir Giles about the progress of trainee agents at the facility, and the fact that the results coming from Eggsy's records are excellent. However, Greaves states that he is yet to pull an assassination job off in cold blood. Sometime later, Eggsy has been assigned to go undercover with a colleague to kill an unknown number of street thugs, which he performs very successfully, saving his colleague's life in the process.
The team of trainees is sent to a nightclub to prove their abilities being persuasive, by seducing women. All of the men appear in fancy suits, except for Eggsy, who dresses in very casual clothing. They are given transmitting pens to contact each other with. All of them succeed, with the exception of Eggsy, who listens via the pen as his colleagues talk about his background and inability to become fit for service with his plebeian behavior. He disappears in a rage.
Eggsy steals his uncle's gadget-laden car and runs off to his former neighborhood to collect his former mates. He is pursued by the police for violating traffic laws. After his arrest, Jack bails him out and decides to find out the truth behind the matter. Knowing all about the disgrace his nephew has been through, Jack tells Eggsy that things are done to keep the world safe, and not to earn fame and conduct. He offers Eggsy a chance to return to the training, and he agrees, only to be tranquilized by Jack.
Eggsy wakes up in Colombia, wearing nothing but an earpiece, through which Jack demands that he use his instincts to get out of that country and return to British soil within twenty-four hours, or he will be dropped from the program. Jack gives Eggsy the coordinates of his passport and flight ticket. Eggsy subdues a policeman, stealing his clothes and car to get to the coordinates, which appears to be a mansion of a Colombian drug lord. Taking the policeman's machine-guns, he kills all the guards and apprehends the drug lord.
Twelve hours later, the Kingsman team are expecting Eggsy to arrive, who does so in a private jet that belonged to the drug lord. Eggsy has brought the drug lord with him so that he can be arrested. Jack takes Eggsy under his wing again and takes him to his tailor, where Eggsy finally becomes the man his uncle was hoping for him to be, a gentleman secret agent of Kingsman.
When Eggsy pays his mother a visit at her boyfriend's flat, he finds her beaten up for setting up a welcoming party for her son. Outraged, Eggsy storms to the pub where his mother's boyfriend is hanging out with his gang. Eggsy beats them all to near death. Uncle Jack then helps him rent a very respectful apartment for his mother and younger brother to reside in.
Both uncle and nephew team up in Cannes, where they have tracked down Dr. Arnold, who was seemingly planning to abduct film director Ridley Scott. While there, Jack seduces Arnold's girlfriend to get information, learning that Arnold plans to save only a few people that he admires, mostly celebrities, and will use a satellite signal to make the rest of humanity slaughter each other. Eggsy witnesses all this through a shared video device worn as sunglasses. Suddenly, Jack is shot in the eye by Arnold's henchman, Gazelle, and dies.
Horrified by his uncle's death, Eggsy goes back to the training facility to talk to his training officer, Greaves, who tells him that the killer's intention wasn't to murder a spy, but rather kill the man cheating with his girlfriend. Greaves abruptly reveals that he is working for Dr. Arnold himself. He has recruited numerous rogue agents, offering Eggsy a place on Dr. Arnold's team. When Eggsy rejects the offer, Greaves attempts to poison him, but Eggsy has switched their drinks, classifying it as "a second nature" just before Greaves dies.
Knowing that Greaves was going to head to Dr. Arnold's lair, and unaware of which higher-level members of Kingsman were in association with Greaves, Eggsy recruits the trainees to an assault mission. Following the coordinates programmed in Greaves' plane, they land at Olympus, the lair hidden inside a mountain in Switzerland. They ambush and battle the troops, freeing the celebrities in the process, including Pierce Brosnan, Patrick Stewart and David Beckham. Eggsy also engages in a fist fight with Gazelle, who reveals he was formerly a Kingsman agent. He eventually defeats Gazelle and heads to the main control section where Dr. Arnold is.
Dr. Arnold activates the satellite signal and waits for the people to slaughter each other, but one of Eggsy's colleagues, a computer expert, has changed the frequencies. The new signal causes everyone to be overcome with love instead of hate. The mission is a success and in revenge for his Uncle Jack's death, Eggsy shoots Dr. Arnold in the head, who indicates that he does not know either Jack nor Eggsy.
In the epilogue, Eggsy reads his uncle's will; in the will Jack reveals that two-thirds of his estate will go to the Royal National Lifeboat Institution and the British Heart Foundation, with the final third going to Eggsy's mother. His last words in the post-script tell Eggsy to take good care of his gadget-laden car, or he will "come back and bloody haunt him." As Eggsy reports to Kingsman Headquarters, Sir Giles briefs him about a mission that concerns "trouble in Moscow".
Characters
- Jack London: Also known as Uncle Jack, works for the British government under the Kingsman (originally MI6) affiliation. He is ranked as the top agent for thirty years, operating overseas.

- Rupert Greaves: The MI6 training facility officer, is a veteran agent himself, and a lifelong operative educating and evaluating newcomers.
- Gazelle: Dr. Arnold's personal henchman, who is a dark-skinned muscleman with bionic legs. He is later revealed to be an ex-Kingsman agent.
- Sir Giles: The head of Kingsman, is often seen contacting Jack through a network device or meeting him in person.
- Ambrosia Chase: Dr. Arnold's girlfriend, who only chose to be with him for his money. She later regrets the relationship as Dr. Arnold's plan unfolds and cheats on him, for which she is killed by one of Arnold's henchmen without remorse.
Kingsman: The Big Exit
A sequel set in the continuity of the original comic and the film series titled Kingsman: The Big Exit was published on Playboy Magazine. The comic is marketed as being set in the Millarverse but follows Gary "Eggsy" Unwin, the film series' protagonist, rather than Gary "Eggsy" London, the comic series' protagonist.
Kingsman Vol. 2 - The Red Diamond
While on a date, Sir Giles intercepts Eggsy at a cashpoint and explains that Prince Philip has been taken hostage by a group of Greek terrorists and needs to be rescued at the London Docklands. The group demand that Greece's debt is to be wiped by the International Monetary Fund, or they'll behead the prince on live television -- unknown to them is that the prince is Greek himself.
Eggsy hands over his cash to a homeless man and tells him to treat his date to a dinner while he's away. When he reaches the Docklands, the group flees with the prince in tow. Their chase leads them to the Docklands cable-car. After killing the remaining terrorists, Eggsy and the prince wait until the cable-car lands safely south of the Thames. Eggsy comments he grew not far from there -- to which the Prince says, "...then you grew up in a shit-hole..." and demands to be taken back to Buckingham Palace. Furious, Eggsy punches the prince. It's an outburst which almost costs Eggsy his job, but Sir Giles only forces him into a week-long leave of absence.
Afterwards, Eggsy goes to visit his mother, Sharon, at her new flat in Peckham. They get into an argument as to why she's moved back into a council estate when he and Jack had set her up in a nice flat uptown. She explains it was because she couldn't stand the way the rich people living there would look and talk down at her.
Determined to make her feel better, Eggsy takes his mum and little brother, Ryan, to a local pub. While there, he finds his old crush from secondary school, Sam, working the bar. Eggsy asks her out to a jazz bar in Kensington, but she instead suggests a nearby house-party. Eggsy makes an off-comment about the DJ attending, and Sam takes offence, remarking that it "didn't take long" for Eggsy to think he was better than the people he'd grown up with. Later, Sharon catches up with an old friend and leaves Eggsy to take care of his little brother while they go out on a date.
Meanwhile, at the bottom of the Mariana Trench, the Treeman twins -- known as the best computer hackers in the world -- are taken to the head of the Red Diamond by his hunchbacked henchman, Ingot. One of the twins has sent out an encrypted message to the outside world of the Red Diamond's plans. To teach them a lesson, and by means of applying pressure, he orders Ingot to throw one of the twins out the airlock, forcing the other to watch his brother's body implode at the bottom of the ocean.
Back in London, Eggsy rushes his little brother, sick with the norovirus, to the Kingsman headquarters to find LeFay -- the head of weaponry - - who gives him a special pill. While there, an alert comes in from the South African Secret Service (SASS) that the Treeman's encrypted message was sent to a hacker named Alias. The agency intercepted a call between Ingot and the head of the Red Diamond, and they learn that Alias is at Times Square in Manhattan. Since all the other Kingsman agents are out on the field, LeFay has no other choice but to send Eggsy out on a rocket to find Alias first.
In Manhattan's Financial District, Alias has locked himself in the Goldman Sachs Building. Ingot finds him and threatens to kill him. However, Eggsy arrives just in time to attempt an escape with Alias. On their way out, they meet Kwaito -- a SASS agent. A fight ensues between Kwaito and Ingot. Amongst the commotion, Alias tries to escape, but Eggsy stops him. Alias then explains that he was trying to shut down the servers in the financial district to protect them from the Red Diamond's virus. Ingot snaps Alias' neck and makes his escape, trapping Eggsy and Kwaito. Once he leaves, the virus is released onto computers worldwide, causing a global blackout.
The Prime Minister of Britain receives a betamax tape from the head of the Red Diamond, who explains his plans. He believes money has made people corrupt and slaves to politicians and the big banks. Later, Kwaito finds a way out and Eggsy returns home to London.
In the Kingsman briefing room, the agents find out more about the head of the Red Diamond. His real name is Jakobis Du Preez -- a self-made South African mining magnate. After a mine collapsed on him, Jakobis lost an arm and most of his teeth. As a signal of his wealth and love for jewels, he had stones implanted onto his teeth -- among them, the incredibly rare red diamond. He thinks the world has lost its substance, and by replacing physical money with gold and jewels, he will make it a better place.
The following day, Kingsman intercepts another tape from Jakobis, inviting the "Kings and Queens of the new material world," to a remote location in the Hunan Province, the People's Republic of China. It is a gathering of the world's most successful and richest mining magnates. Because of this, Eggsy goes undercover as an Australian mining magnate named Mark 'Titchy' Bowers. Eggsy must fight through a small group of guards before he is able to attend. When successful, Jakobis welcomes him over the radio as Eggsy is flown to the Hundred Dragons Lift -- the largest deep-mine in the world, built on the side of a cliff.
A group of magnates enter an elevator at the bottom of the lift. When inside, Eggsy spots Ingot, as well as Kwaito, who is also undercover. The group are led to a mine within the cliff. Inside, they find a television playing another tape from Jakobis, who explains that those magnates will soon become his competitors. After his speech, Jakobis bombs the mine. Eggsy and Kwaito try to evacuate the remaining magnates by leaving the shaft and entering the lift -- however, another television is already there. Jakobis apologises. The lift locks and begins to free-fall.
Kwaito tries to shoot the glass, but it only cracks. Eggsy kicks it until it shatters. They fall out, leaving the remaining magnates plummeting to the ground. Kwaito and Eggsy activate their wingsuits and intercept Ingot's helicopter. Eggsy steals a map from one of the men inside. Kwaito tries to kill Ingot, but he knocks her unconscious. Eggsy flies over to catch her. They both land in the middle of the forest.
Later, Kwaito wakes up furious at Eggsy for letting Ingot get away. He explains that he managed to the map to the Red Diamond's secret base. He offers it to her in exchange for a kiss. Because of this, Kwaito punches him.
The two fight until Kwaito begins to kiss him. This leads to them having sex on the forest floor. Afterwards, the two of them admire the stars together. During which, Eggsy explains his history and his upbringing to her. Kwaito then admits her feelings for him.
Eggsy and Kwaito later find civilisation and a phone to use. Eggsy immediately calls his mother to see how she is. She explains that her new boyfriend, Johnny, has stolen groceries and is now trying to sell them. However, during the call, a group of men break in and attack them all. Eggsy is left on the phone to hear it. He gets LeFay and her team to rescue her. Later, while on the phone to LeFay, Eggsy learns that his mother will live and that LeFay will take care of Ryan until Eggsy finishes his mission. He tells her that they have a map to the Red Diamond base and will go there next. However, Kwaito leaves Eggsy and takes the map with her.
Now on his own, Eggsy goes to the nearest airport and lands in Guam. He questions the dock workers to see if they recognise Ingot. They direct him to the area in the sea they saw him last. Eggsy swims out and dives down to try and find the base. Because of the pressure, Eggsy has to use a submarine to go deeper. Soon, he is surrounded by guards in their own submarines. One submarine fires a rocket into another. It turns out to be Kwaito. A fight ensues, and eventually, Eggsy and Kwaito make their way inside the base. They find their way to Jakobis' main chamber, and see him sitting naked on a hill of jewels and gold bars, with the surviving Treeman brother on all fours on the ground, his clothes off and a collar around his neck.
Jakobis explains that they can't kill him because of a fail-safe he attached to his heart -- if it stops, then the airlocks will open and everyone inside will die. Ingot arrives and attacks Kwaito and Eggsy. The Treeman brother goes to attack Ingot, freeing himself. Another fight ensues between the four of them. Eggsy rifles through his bag and pulls out an explosive that he shoves into Ingot's mouth. It explodes, killing him, but the explosion has destabilised the base.
Eggsy shoots Jakobis with a poisonous spy-dart which will slowly kill him. During this, Red Diamond guards make it through and question Eggsy for what he did, demanding that he give Jakobis an antidote. Eggsy complies, digging through his bag again, and stalls for time. Eventually, he throws a handful of explosives their way and yells for Kwaito and the Treeman brother to run. The main chamber floods, and everyone inside implodes. However, the three of them manage to seal themselves in another room before they could be harmed. While there, the Treeman brother gains access to a computer and uploads an override to delete the Red Diamond virus.
In the epilogue, a ceremony is held in Eggsy's honour. Several esteemed guests are invited -- including Prince Philip, who wanted to apologise and shake Eggsy's hand. However, Eggsy instead takes his family and Kwaito to his favourite pub.

Film series
Kingsman: The Secret Service
The concept of a The Secret Service adaptation originated when Mark Millar and Vaughn were at a bar discussing spy movies, lamenting that the genre had become too serious over the years and deciding to do "a fun one." To have the time to make the film, Vaughn had to opt out of directing X-Men: Days of Future Past, which he called "a really tough decision". He reasoned that if he did not do it, "somebody else ... [would] wake up and do a fun spy movie. Then I would have written a bloody screenplay that no one would want to make." Colin Firth joined the cast to lead the film on 29 April 2013. It was initially reported in 2013 that Leonardo DiCaprio was in talks to play a villain, although Vaughn himself later denied that he was ever considered stating that he came as close to playing the role "as I am to becoming the Pope." Instead the role of the villain went to Samuel L. Jackson, Jackson took the role, in part because of a career long dream to be in a James Bond movie. As he felt that this was unlikely to come true he took on the role stating "I felt like this was an opportunity to play a really great Bond villain." Jackson's character has a notable lisp, a choice he decided to make based partially on the stutter he had as a kid. In September 2013, Vaughn cast Sophie Cookson for the female lead, preferring a newcomer over more obvious candidates like Emma Watson and Bella Heathcote. Mark Hamill was cast as Professor James Arnold, a reference to his character in the source comic book being himself.
Principal photography began 6 October 2013 in Deepcut, Surrey, on a budget reported to be one-third of the $200 million budget of Skyfall. The Alexandra Road Estate in Camden was used for Eggsy's home area, and some scenes were filmed at Imperial College London. The Black Prince Pub in Kennington, South London, was used for various fight scenes and the car chase. Savile Row in Mayfair was also employed as a location and the exterior of tailors Huntsman, which provided the clothes and James Lock & Co. in St James's which provided the hats. Elton John was rumoured to have a role in the film, although this would prove untrue, John would appear in the film's sequel, Kingsman: The Golden Circle. Kingsman: The Secret Service was released in the United Kingdom on January 29, 2015.
Kingsman: The Golden Circle
Near the release of Kingsman: The Secret Service, Mark Millar and Matthew Vaughn stated that a sequel would be possible if the first film was to perform well at the box office, and Vaughn expressed interest in directing the sequel. Vaughn also noted that he had hoped to have Firth back in the sequel, though it was later reported that Firth would not be returning.
On 29 April 2015, Fox announced that a sequel was in production, but that it was unclear if Vaughn would return to direct due to his interest in directing a Flash Gordon film. On 11 June 2015, Vaughn told Yahoo that he had begun writing the script for the sequel and that he could be returning to direct. In September 2015, Millar reiterated that the sequel was in development and that Vaughn was looking for ways to bring Firth back without sacrificing the integrity of the story. Later that month, The Hollywood Reporter confirmed that Egerton had also signed on for the Robin Hood: Origins franchise, which would begin shooting in February 2016; Egerton's schedule was accordingly in conflict with the Kingsman sequel. However, in mid-October, it was confirmed that the scheduling issues had been settled between both studios. Lionsgate plans to begin Robin Hood's production right after Egerton wraps filming on Kingsman: The Golden Circle, which was expected to begin production in April 2016.
On 17 February 2016, it was revealed that Julianne Moore was in negotiations to play the villain role in the film. On 10 March 2016, Halle Berry was cast to play the role of the head of the CIA. Her role later turned out as that of Statesman's tech support. In late March, Vaughn confirmed Berry's and Moore's casting, as well as the title, Kingsman: The Golden Circle. On 8 April 2016, Pedro Pascal was cast in the film as Jack Daniels. On the same day, a promotional poster was released for the film featuring Firth's character's glasses confirming Firth's return for the film; Firth's return was later officially confirmed on 11 July 2016. Channing Tatum confirmed his casting through his Twitter account, while Variety confirmed that Elton John was in talks for a role. In late April, Vaughn talked about writing the sequel, he stated "writing this was the hardest thing I've ever done." Jeff Bridges was added to the cast on 28 May 2016. Vinnie Jones announced on Twitter that he had been cast in a role.
Principal photography on the film began on 15 May 2016 in Birmingham. Filming also took place in Warner Bros. Studios, Leavesden. On 13 September 2016, Kingsman: The Golden Circle completed initial filming. However, additional footage was filmed on location in London in December 2016.
Kingsman: The Golden Circle was originally scheduled for a summer release on June 16, 2017 by 20th Century Fox, but was pushed back from its original release date of June 16, 2017 to October 6, 2017. The film was pushed up from October 6, 2017 to September 22, 2017. The film was given an IMAX release. It eventually opened two days prior in the UK on September 20, 2017.
Future
Kingsman 3
Vaughn revealed that he and Goldman have a third Kingsman film planned. In the September 2017 edition of Total Film, Vaughn revealed that his personal choice for the role of the villain in Kingsman 3 is Dwayne Johnson.
Statesman
In an interview with Cinema Blend, Vaughn revealed that a spin-off film of Kingsman: The Golden Circle revolving around the American secret agent organization called Statesman, tentatively titled Statesman, is in early stages of development.
Animation
#TBT to That Time Archer Met Kingsman
On July 20, 2017, FOX released an animated crossover short film between Kingsman and Archer entitled #TBT to That Time Archer Met Kingsman, featuring Eggsy and Sterling Archer. The short was unveiled at the 2017 Comic-Con's Kingsman: The Golden Circle panel in Hall H, following Eggsy as he discovers Archer to have stumbled into the Kingsman's secret arsenal hidden in the bespoke suit shop, helping himself to guns and alcohol. Fighting to reclaim the goods, Eggsy challenges Archer to "the most gentlemanly of competitions": a drinking contest, while planning to kill him with a drugged glass; Archer instead drinks the bottle and passes out. Eggsy, insulted by Archer's behaviour, vows to go to America and "teach them a lesson". Taron Egerton and H. Jon Benjamin respectively reprise their roles as Eggsy Unwin and Sterling Archer.
Video game
In August 2017, it was confirmed that Kingsman: The Golden Circle would have a tie-in game to accompany its release, and that it would be a turn-based match-3 role-playing combat game, released on iOS and Android by the Korean mobile game company NHN PixelCube. The game also includes characters from Kingsman: The Secret Service, and was released globally on 14 September 2017, about a week before the film's release. Unlike the films, the game does not have graphic violence or explicit language, but it is classified a "12+" rating for "mild realistic violence". 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. The game is a hybrid action adventure-construction simulator, where players construct impregnable secret bases, similar to Fallout Shelter, while infiltrating enemy bases in run-and-gun missions based on the plot of at least the first film. The Android version is currently in early access. Both games are free-to-play, offer in-app purchases, and support online player-versus-player multiplayer, with the former game requiring an Internet connection to play.
Several months later after the launch of the tie-in mobile game for Kingsman: The Golden Circle, on April 24, 2018, it was announced that the game's servers will be shut down on May 23, 2018, after "careful consideration" and the game's poor player base. As of that date, YesGnome's Kingsman: The Secret Service is still in development, with the Android version remaining in early access.
Novelizations
Kingsman: The Golden Circle: The Official Movie Novelization, the novelization of the 2017 film Kingsman: The Golden Circle, written by Tim Waggoner, was released on September 22, 2017.
Marketing
Luxury retailer Mr Porter has been a marketing partner of the franchise since the first film, when it worked with costume designer Arianne Phillips to design the bespoke suiting, while everything from the ties and shirts to eyewear, umbrellas, shoes and watches were designed by heritage brands such as Cutler and Gross, George Cleverley, Mackintosh, Bremont, and Adidas Originals. The collaboration is the first of its kind, making Kingsman: The Secret Service the first film from which customers can buy all of the outfits they see. On 8 September 2017, Mr Porter opened its first Kingsman shop between Berry Bros. & Rudd and Lock & Co. Hatters on St James's Street in Central London. Both the Kingsman shop and Berry Bros. & Rudd were integral locations for Kingsman: The Golden Circle, while Lock & Co. was featured on the first film.
In May 2017, TAG Heuer partnered with Fox to make the TAG Heuer Connected the official watch of the Kingsman agents. In August 2017, Fox partnered with Old Forester to release a Statesman edition of their 95 proof Bourbon whiskey for the U.S. market. In addition, GlenDronach released a Kingsman Edition 1991 of their Scotch whisky. Director Vaughn cited GlenDronach as his favourite scotch whisky brand, and the distillery used casks from 1991, as it is the fictional year of Eggsy's birth. Only 240 bottles have been allocated to the U.S. market, all of which are signed by Vaughn. In addition, Berry Bros. & Rudd released a Kingsman edition of their No. 3 London Dry Gin. In September 2017, Hard Rock Cafe introduced the "Poppy Burger" in their menu to promote The Golden Circle.
Funko released Pop! Vinyl figures of Harry, Eggsy, Valentine, and Gazelle in 2017.
