Believe it or not, the third movie in the Kingsman film franchise still hasn’t come out. That finally changes this week, when The King’s Man opens in theaters nationwide.

Originally scheduled to open on November 19, 2019, the third movie in this once-popular spy franchise is over two years late. That’s largely thanks to COVID-19, of course. But now the moment is finally here: The kingsmen are back!

Well, some of the kingsmen are back. The King’s Man is a prequel to both 2014’s Kingsman: The Secret Service and 2017’s Kingsman: The Golden Circle. That means, barring any surprise cameo, everyone’s favorite spy, Gary “Eggsy” Unwin’s (Taron Egerton), won’t be in this movie, because he was recruited from regular life in the first film.

There’s still plenty of talent to entertain, however. The King’s Man focuses on Ralph Fiennes’s character, Orlando Oxford, and also stars Gemma Arterton, Rhys Ifans, Matthew Goode, Tom Hollander, Harris Dickinson, Daniel Brühl, Djimon Hounsou, and Charles Dance. If you’ve been waiting for two years to see this one, here’s what you need to know about where to watch The King’s Man and when to expect The King’s Man on streaming.

WHERE TO WATCH THE KING’S MAN:

For now, the only place to watch The King’s Man is in a movie theater. The movie opens in theaters in the U.S. on Wednesday, December 22. You can find a showing at a theater near you here.

IS THE KING’S MAN ON STREAMING?

No. The King’s Man is opening in theaters only. After the movie’s theatrical run, you will be able to rent the film on digital platforms like Amazon Prime, iTunes, YouTube, Google Play, and more.

WHEN WILL THE KING’S MAN BE STREAMING?

A digital release date for The King’s Man has not yet been officially announced. However, we expect the film to be available on digital platforms 45 days after it opens in theaters, which be around early February 2022.

You may also be able to watch The King’s Man on HBO Max and Disney+ around the same time it releases on VOD. Read on for more details.

IS THE KING’S MAN ON HBO MAX OR DISNEY PLUS?

The King’s Man will not be on HBO Max at the same time the film is playing in theaters. The King’s Man is a 20th Century Studios movie, and only Warner Bros. films like Dune are being released simultaneously on HBO Max and in theaters.

However, The King’s Man will go to HBO Max during the film’s “Pay 1 window,” which is the time period in which premium cable channels have exclusive rights to play the film. This is because even though Disney now owns 20th Century Studios, and Disney is bound to a 10-year deal between 20th Century Fox and HBO that was signed in 2012. That deal runs through 2022, though HBO/HBO Max recently agreed to share co-exclusive rights with Disney+.

What does this mean? That means it’s possible that The King’s Man will release on both HBO Max and Disney+ simultaneously, much like the recent 20th Century Fox movie, Ron’s Gone Wrong. Stay tuned for more details, but it’s possible you will be able to watch The King’s on both HBO Max and Disney+ in February 2022.
