Will an action film called "racist"? if film's main protagonists are white, while main villain is black? (example: Kingsman: The Secret Service)

Not unless the villian is a stereotypical caricature.

And was Kingsman seen as being racist? That should answer your question.
Like anything, it depends on the context.

If anything you yourself are racist for recognising these supposed "stereotypes" and acknowledging their power.

Most people don't see it as being racist, but I'm sure there are some people out there who do.
