Argylle

Argylle is an upcoming spy action comedy film directed and produced by Matthew Vaughn (Kick-Ass, Kingsman: The Secret Service), and written by Jason Fuchs.

When Aiden (Sam Rockwell), a spy, shows up to save her (he says) from being kidnapped or killed (or both), Elly and her beloved cat Alfie are plunged into a covert world where nothing, and no one, is what it seems.

Argylle is scheduled to be released in the United States on February 2, 2024, by Universal Pictures theatrically, and on Apple TV+ at an undetermined date. Watch the official trailer below.
