"I
can't really tell you who Argylle is. Not in detail. But I can
say he's an idealised version of a spy," actor Henry Cavill
said.
"If you turn up all the tropes to 11, that's who Argylle is,"
the British actor said.
Directed by Matthew Vaughn, the movie stars Cavill as agent
Argylle, a globe-trotting super spy - and the lead character in
novelist Elly Conway's best-selling series of books. Life starts
imitating art when Conway (Bryce Dallas Howard), and her cat
Alfie, find themselves entangled in the activities of a
real-life spy organisation.
Actor Bryan Cranston described the movie as a "two-hour
excursion on a rollercoaster to hell and back, and you will
laugh all the way".
"It's a huge, sprawling, spy epic that has lots of twists and
turns and lots of great action sequences," said his co-star
Samuel L. Jackson, adding that keeping the plot under wraps came
easy to him.
"I live in the Marvel Universe. It's no different."
British singer Dua Lipa, who last year made her feature film
debut in "Barbie", also appears.
"It's my first time doing anything like this, so I'm super
grateful to Matthew for giving me this opportunity," the
28-year-old musician said, paying tribute to Vaughn for drawing
the best out of her for her role.
"What I love is just how generous he was with all his advice and
just sitting down and explaining to me the different ways on how
to get a better performance out of myself,” Lipa said.
"Argylle", which also stars Sam Rockwell, John Cena, Ariana
DeBose and Sofia Boutella, is out in cinemas globally from
January 31.
