Super Spy Argylle (original title: Argylle) is the only Hollywood action movie to hit theaters on Lunar New Year 2024. Gathering A-list stars including Henry Cavill (Superman, The Witcher), Oscar owner Sam Rockwell, Bryce Dallas Howard (series Jurassic World), the film was directed by Matthew Vaughn (series Kingsman). Recently at a press conference in Korea, the stars of Argylle Super Spy had the opportunity to share about the movie and were given unique gifts by Vietnamese fans of hand-painted conical hats with images of the actors.
Super Spy Argylle is the only Hollywood work released on the first day of the New Year, revolving around the investigation and reluctant adventure journey of introverted female writer Elly Conway (played by Bryce Dallas Howard). Actress of the series Jurassic World and The Help plays Elly Conway – a writer who lives in seclusion with a best-selling fantasy novel called “Argylle”. One day, Elly discovered that what she wrote was so similar to reality that she was stunned, even by the Argylle spy. This pushes her to the attention of dangerous organizations.
Accompanying her on the adventure is “unseen” spy Aidan, played by Sam Rockwell. Aidan is Argylle’s version of “a twin from a different father”, a testament to Elly Conway’s “truth is not a dream”. However, a casual appearance is the perfect cover for a good spy and Aidan knows it. Actor Sam Rockwell is known for the success of his work Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouribringing Rockwell an Oscar in the Best Supporting Actor category.
Henry Cavill plays Argylle – a textbook perfect spy. Elegance, talent and style are what can describe this character. Filled with beautiful action scenes, impressive fashion and a series of “bends” that require wearing a helmet, Argylle Super Spy is the top choice for holiday movie fans. The cast shares funny moments in front and behind the camera, including a music video that brings together the actors and actor Chip the cat – the star of the work.
Both Sam Rockwell and John Cena – who plays Argylle’s best friend Wyatt – expressed being impressed with Henry Cavill’s physicality in action scenes. If Rockwell had to “try to keep up” with Cavill, former wrestler and action star John Cena admitted that his co-star was “above” him in terms of physical strength and endurance in the gym.
Bryce Dallas Howard said she was personally contacted by director Matthew Vaughn to play the role of Elly Conway: “None of the agents had a script or anything, and he just said, “I would love for you to read this and tell me what you feel.” It’s Jason’s script, Jason Fuchs, the writer and producer of this movie, wrote something perfect and every three pages there’s a real “wow” feeling. That’s how you feel when you watch the movie, like an emotional journey”.
Star of the series Breaking Bad Bryan Cranston will be the villain in Super Spy Argylle. The veteran star also shared his surprise when he first read the script: “There were a few pages I had to re-read because I was like oh my gosh, would he really do that, it’s true that some people dare to write and some people dare to direct. Just reading it makes me feel fascinated. When he assembles a cast like this, I’m happy to be a part of it.”.
ARGYLLE SUPER SPY (original title: ARGYLLE) is expected to premiere on February 10, 2024 (the first day of Lunar New Year 2024).
