‘Argylle’ First Look: Henry Cavill Sports A New Cut In Matthew Vaughn’s Spy Movie

I don’t know why people keep messing with Henry Cavill’s hair, whether it’s on his head or on his face. In the new espionage flick Argylle he’s rockin’ a vastly different haircut than we’ve ever seen from him, and…well, I dunno. It ain’t great. But the movie might be, considering it’s directed by Kingsman filmmaker Matthew Vaughn, and features a stellar cast ready to get into the spy game.

Cavill is joined by a host of Oscar and Emmy winners and nominees, plus all around awesome folks, including Sam Rockwell, Bryce Dallas Howard, Catherine O’Hara, Bryan Cranston, Samuel L. Jackson, John Cena, Rob Delaney, Grammy winner Dua Lipa, and West Side Story‘s Ariana DeBose.

Damn!

The story is based on the novel by first-time author Ellie Conway, adapted by Wonder Woman writer Jason Fuchs, and centers on a world class spy suffering from amnesia and believes he’s actually a spy novelist. When his memories begin to return, he seeks out revenge against his former employer, The Division.

Argylle will hit Apple TV+ later this year and is expected to be the first chapter in a trilogy.
