Apple sets a release date for 'Argylle,' starring Henry Cavill.

"It's going to reinvent the spy genre," said director Matthew Vaughn a couple of years ago about Argylle, a yet-to-be-published novel by first-time writer Ellie Conway, and a story that focused on the world-saving, or megalomaniacal plans of sinister villains by the world's top spy agents.

And so the filmmaker, already with extensive experience in the genre thanks to the Kingsman saga, left us waiting for more information. What we have at the moment is that this ambitious Apple production that has cost 200 million dollars already has a release date and in theaters, with the company allied with Universal for distribution. It will be February 2, 2024, and then, sooner or later, it will logically also be available in the Apple TV+ catalog.

As big stars we will have a Henry Cavill who, after having been the Superman of Zack Snyder's films or the tireless monster hunter Geralt of Rivia in The Witcher series, moves back to action alongside Bryce Dallas Howard, leaving behind the Jurassic World saga. The two as super spies on missions that would lead them to travel to the most exotic corners of the planet.

In fact, as for the identity of Argylle, the first information indicated that it would be the character of Dallas Howard, an American best-selling author who suffers from amnesia, not knowing her true identity. And the most recent ones, such as the one published by Variety or the same brief synopsis in the Apple file, state that the protagonist would actually be Henry Cavill. And as for the novel by author Elly Conway (instead of "Ellie" Conway, according to the Amazon tab), it won't appear in print until November.
