What is Argylle all about?
While Henry Cavill may bid adieu to the Superman franchise and Geralt in The Witcher series, fans can anticipate his charismatic presence as the Bond-like lead in the upcoming spy film, Argylle. Directed by Matthew Vaughn, this action-comedy is poised to kick off a three-picture franchise, promising thrilling narratives in diverse locations. With a star-studded cast featuring the likes of pop sensation Dua Lipa, excitement is already building among spy genre enthusiasts.
In the film, Henry Cavill plays the role of Argylle, an international spy, while Dua Lipa makes her acting debut and she’s also working on the title track. Dua Lipa shared her experience in a Spotify podcast saying, “It’s been really great. There are just parts about, you know, wanting to do small things, for me at the moment, that I feel comfortable that I can deliver in. I think the fear of people’s opinions and not being good at something like that still scares me, whether it’s a small role, especially when it’s something that I’ve never really done before.”
Scheduled for release on February 2, 2024, through a partnership between Apple and Universal, Argylle holds the promise of delivering a fresh and captivating addition to the cinematic landscape.
