''Kingsman'' is a British action spy franchise created by film director Creator/MatthewVaughn and comic writer Creator/MarkMillar. The title refers to a modest tailor shop in Savile Row, London that serves as a front for a private international spy agency, dedicated to preserving peace and saving innocent lives without interference from world governments. Kingsman agents, who take their codenames from Arthurian legend, dress and act like the quintessential English gentleman, but possess fearsome skills and high-tech gadgets which they employ against megalomaniacal villains. The franchise is a good-natured play on TuxedoAndMartini SpyFiction and classic British spy characters.
