After having brought to life the world of “Kingsman” three times, Matthew Vaughn presents his new spy film: “Argylle”. Or the story of a novelist caught in a case involving agents… and the hero of her books.
There was Kingsman, its sequel and its prequel. Three films thanks to which Matthew Vaughn showed a true love for espionage, already glimpsed in X-Men – The Beginning and which we find at the heart of his new opus. In another universe and with a twist.
If the Argylle trailer begins in a classic way, with Henry Cavill and his crew cut who begins a dance step with Dua Lipa, the latter are in reality only the characters created by a specialized novelist (Bryce Dallas Howard). in spy stories. Until experiencing one when she meets the agent played by Sam Rockwell.
Expected in our theaters on January 31, 2024, after having been only intended for AppleTV+ for a while, Argylle obviously has everything to please Matthew Vaughn fans.
The images revealed show us that the energetic and crazy style of the director of Kick-Ass will be there, serving a funny cat and an XXL cast that will make Wes Anderson green with envy.
Almighty brush
In addition to the quartet already mentioned, we will find Bryan Cranston, John Cena, Catherine O’Hara, Ariana DeBose, Samuel L. Jackson and perhaps a surprise guest. Because the end of the trailer teases a meeting between Bryce Dallas Howard and the real Argylle, a spy who only existed in his novels at the time.
Between In Pursuit of the Green Diamond (which already inspired The Secret of the Lost City last year), Knight and Day, Kingsman and a hint of US action cinema from the 80s, where many Russian villains would have had the same cut as Henry Cavill, Argylle promises us some nice fireworks to start the year.
And Matthew Vaughn serves the champagne. In addition to transforming Sam Rockwell into an unexpected action hero, as he did with Colin Firth in Kingsman.
