Bryce Dallas Howard Leads Apple TV’s Star-Studded Spy Film, Argylle

From Fingernails to Killers of the Flower Moon, Apple TV is on a bit of a film run as of late. Next up is Argylle, a star-studded spy thriller with one standout character: a cat. Here’s everything we know so far.

Argylle: Everything We Know So Far

Directed by Matthew Vaughn – who has previously directed the likes of Stardust (2007), Kick-Ass (2010), X-Men: First Class, and the Kingsman films (a man of many talents) – Argylle is an upcoming comedy spy thriller following a super-spy named Argylle (Henry Cavill) across the US, London and a bunch of exotic locations. The twist? He is the fictional creation of novelist Elly (Bryce Dallas Howard).

What Will Happen?

Elly Conway is an introverted novelist, best known for her Argylle spy series. But her life is turned upside down when Elly is accidentally drawn into the world of espionage following a chance encounter on a train. As the plots of her novels start hitting a little too close to home for a sinister underground spy syndicate, a real spy called Aiden (Sam Rockwell) shows up to save her from being kidnapped or killed (or both), and Elly and her beloved cat Alfie are thrown into a covert world where nothing is as it seems.
