Henry Cavill in Argylle

Argylle premiered at Odeon Luxe Leicester Square in London on January 24, 2024, and is scheduled to be released in the United States on February 2, 2024. Apart from Cavill, the film also features heavy hitters like Bryce Dallas Howard, Sam Rockwell, Bryan Cranston, Catherine O’Hara, Dua Lipa, Ariana DeBose, John Cena, and Samuel L. Jackson.

Argylle is different from Matthew Vaughn’s existing movies

During his recent appearance on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, director Matthew Vaughn admitted that his upcoming movie Argylle, featuring Henry Cavill, is very different from all the films he has directed so far. The director said,

“Most of my movies are always – I call them a love letter to the movies I loved as a kid or which I felt could be reinvented – We just came up with this, it is a very meta movie so it’s got lots of tropes that I’ve been guilty of making with spy movies which we’re sort of trying to reinvent.”

There have been some debates over Henry Cavill’s look in the movie but the style was intentionally chosen to pay homage to the ’80s. Vaughn believes that they’ve tried to “reinvent” the idea in this movie and that makes it different from his popular hits like Layer Cake (2004), Stardust (2007), and Kick-Ass (2010).

Henry Cavill is expected to appear in another spy film this year

Over the years, there have been many rumors about Henry Cavill portraying the English spy James Bond in the popular James Bond movies. Unfortunately, that idea never took but this year, fans will get not only one but two spy movies featuring Cavill.

Reports suggest that Cavill will also appear alongside Elza González and Reacher star Alan Ritchson in Guy Ritchie’s upcoming action/comedy spy film The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare. The film is all set to hit theatres on April 19, 2024, two months after the release of Argylle.

Matthew Vaughn has confirmed that he is planning to create two sequels for Argylle, however, Cavill believes that he will only continue his time in the franchise only if the “story is good, and the character has a place to go, and it fits in with everything else.”

Argylle is all set to release in theaters worldwide on 2nd February 2024.
