Henry Cavill, Sam Rockwell, Bryce Dallas Howard, Bryan Cranston, Dua Lipa, Samuel L. Jackson, John Cena, Catherine O’Hara Set For New Matthew Vaughn Spy Franchise ‘Argylle’
Matthew Vaughn has set an all-star cast for his next big budget action project, which will start shooting this August in Europe.
Pop star Dua Lipa will make her acting debut on the project and will provide original music for the title track and score.
The film, based on the soon to be launched spy novel Argylle from author Ellie Conway, follows “the world’s greatest spy” ‘Argylle’ as he is caught up in a globe-trotting adventure.
The movie will be the first of at least three films in the franchise and is set in America, London and multiple locations across the world.
Conway’s debut thriller is scheduled to be published in a major launch in 2022 by Transworld Publishers Ltd, a division of Penguin Random House
Kingsman director-producer Vaughn will direct from a script by Jason Fuchs (Wonder Woman). Vaughn’s regular collaborators Adam Bohling and David Reid will also produce, as well as Fuchs. Zygi Kamasa, Carlos Peres, Claudia Vaughn and Adam Fishbach will serve as executive producers.
Matthew Vaughn commented: “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.”
Zygi Kamasa, CEO of Marv added: “We are delighted that we will be starting our fourth, and by far the biggest, feature film production since the start of the global pandemic. It demonstrates both our desire to scale up our production activity and our ambition to continue to launch new franchises beyond the Kingsman series of films.”

Universal made $1B in less than three years with a different release strategy.
NY Times: Universal Says On-Demand Film Strategy Has Increased Audience
The studio let viewers rent or buy movies earlier for a higher price. This made more than $1 billion in less than three years, with nearly no decrease in box-office sales.
In 2020, at the height of the pandemic, Universal Pictures and its art-house sibling, Focus Features, set off alarm bells in Hollywood by ending the long-held practice of giving theaters an exclusive window of about 90 days to play new movies. Instead, their movies, which have since included “Jurassic World: Dominion,” “Belfast,” “Cocaine Bear” and “M3gan,” would become available for digital rental or purchase — at a higher price — after as little as 17 days.

OMG, MV ruined HC’s looks, so Argylle doesn’t get confused with Kingsman.
I can't wait.

Looks fun.
These directors keep looking for excuses to ruin the way HC look.

Let’s hope Argylle is as successful as the two Kingsman films with Taron Egerton. I want the crossover.

Kingsman was only theater. Argylle will be theater and streaming.

Argylle hopes to be a trilogy. The HC/Jake film and Highlander hope to be a trilogy too. When will HC have time to do WH40K? I think the shooting of that will take like six moths. HC should have time to relax and have fun too. Life shouldn’t be too much work, work, work.
