For years, James Bond fans have wanted Henry Cavill to take over the role of the legendary secret agent after Daniel Craig. However, we now know that the former Superman and The Witcher star never receives double zero status. Instead, he will soon be starring in the action comedy Argylle.
Argylle is a meta-film that tells the story of author Elly Conway, who writes bestselling espionage books about the agent Argylle, played by Cavill. She has had great success with this. But then suddenly they become more and more blurred Boundaries between fiction and reality and her own life becomes a secret mission.
