Dressed in a glittering gold dress and blonde wig, Lipa approaches Cavill, who plays the titular “world’s greatest spy,” and seductively tells him, “I certainly hope you can dance as well as you dress.”
“There’s only one way to find out,” teases Cavill, before taking Lipa’s hand and leading her to the middle of a dancefloor.

While the “New Rules” singer’s character in the film is yet to be confirmed,The Hollywood Reporterrevealed that she will also provide original music for the title track and score.
According to Universal Pictures, which is a co-distributor of the thriller alongside Apple Original Films, things in the author’s world turn upside down “when the plots of Elly’s fictional books — which center on secret agent Argylle and his mission to unravel a global spy syndicate — begin to mirror the covert actions of a real-life spy organization.”

When the project was first announced, Vaughn compared it to theJames Bondfranchise. “When I read this early draft manuscript I felt it was the most incredible and original spy franchise since Ian Fleming’s books of the 50s. This is going to reinvent the spy genre,” he said in astatement viaDeadline.
According to the outlet,Argyllewill be the first in at least a three-part movie franchise set across the world.
That said, the trilogy’s first entry is a fitting project for the director, whose resumé includes iconic action movies, theKingsmanfranchise,Kick-AssandX-Men: First Class. The film also fits nicely in Cavill’s wheelhouse, given the British actor’s extensive experience in the spy genre withThe Man from U.N.C.L.E.and theMission: Impossiblefranchise.
