Henry Cavill, Sam Rockwell, Bryce Dallas Howard, Bryan Cranston, Catherine O’Hara, John Cena and Samuel L. Jackson are among the cast for Matthew Vaughn’s latest foray into the spy game, Argylle.

Singer Dua Lipa will both contribute musically and make her acting debut.

The planned trilogy of films is based on the novel Argylle about a best-selling spy novelist who turns out to be a world-class spy suffering from amnesia, written by Ellie Conway, due out next year.

Matthew Vaughn explained: “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  Vaughn’s production company 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.”
