Universal Pictures has released the first trailer for the spy comedy action film Argylle, starring Henry Cavill.
The film’s plot centers on Ellie Conway, an insecure author of spy novels about super agent Argyll. She hardly ever leaves the house and doesn’t communicate with anyone except her mother and her beloved cat Alfie. Suddenly, Ellie finds herself in the real world of espionage when the plots of her books get too close to the activities of a sinister underground syndicate. Then a real-life spy, Aiden, appears on the horizon to supposedly save her from being kidnapped or killed (or both), and thus Ellie and her cat are plunged into a secret world where nothing and no one is what it seems.
Bryce Dallas Howard (The Village, Jurassic World, Rocketman) played Ellie, and Sam Rockwell (Seven Psychopaths, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, Jojo Rabbit) played Aiden. Henry Cavill (Man of Steel, Mission: Impossible – Fallout, The Witcher) took on the role of a spy from Argylle’s books.
The film also stars Bryan Cranston (Drive, Argo, Breaking Bad), Catherine O’Gara (Beatlejuice, Home Alone, Pain Hustlers), John Cena (Peacemaker, The Suicide Squad, F9), Samuel L. Jackson (Pulp Fiction, Django Unchained, The Avengers franchise), Ariana Debose (West Side Story, Westworld), Sofia Boutella (Kingsman: The Secret Service, Climax, Rebel Moon: A Child of Fire) and pop star Dua Lipa (Barbie).
The film is directed by Matthew Vaughn (Kingsman trilogy, Kick-Ass dilogy, X-Men: First Class, X-Men: Days of Future Past”). The script for the film was written by Jason Fuchs (Ice Age: Continental Drift, Wonder Woman), who also played one of the supporting roles in the film.
According to the press service of the B&H Film Distribution Company, the film is due to be released on February 1, 2024, and will later be available online on Apple TV+.
