Sold on this film yet? If you're eager to get a sneak peek into what Argylle has in store, you're in luck. The first trailer for this spy thriller dropped on September 28, 2023, hinting at a mind-bending plot, fast-paced action, and a hype-inducing cast.

Whoever was in charge of the casting for Argylle did an excellent job, judging by how crazy the internet is going over its first trailer. Obviously, the ensemble cast of Argylle includes numerous hard-hitting names that will make this espionage adventure a must-watch for many people. Let's take a look at some of the key characters and the talented actors bringing them to life:

Henry Cavill As Argylle

The trailer for the film is like a dream come true for Henry Cavill fans: We got to see him as a superpy named Argylle. Argylle is as stereotypically Bond-inspired as it gets, which is a good thing. He is charismatic, sharply dressed, brutally efficient, and exudes an aura of mystery. Even if Henry Cavill will never get to play the actual 007, this might just be the next best thing. 

Elly Conway, the film's protagonist, writes espionage books about Argylle, whom she first thought was merely a fictional character of her own creation. She receives the shock of her life, however, when she finds that Argylle is, in fact, a real human being.

Bryce Dallas Howard As Elly Conway

Bryce Dallas Howard plays Elly Conway, the reclusive author of espionage novels about Argylle. Conway has a lot of fans, but the only living creature she's connected to is her cute pet cat, Alfie. However, her quiet life is turned upside down when the plots of her books start mirroring real-life espionage, blurring the lines between fiction and reality.

Sam Rockwell As Aiden

Academy Award winner Sam Rockwell steps into the shoes of Aiden, a cat-allergic superspy. When a crime syndicate discovers Elly's novels are exposing their organization's secrets, they send assassins to kill or abduct the writer. Thus, Aiden is sent to protect Elly, and he is willing to resort to the most extreme methods to complete his mission.

Dua Lipa As Unknown Female Figure

In her second acting role, pop star Dua Lipa is set to make her mark in Argylle. While her character's name is yet to be revealed, her involvement in both acting and the soundtrack has already generated massive public interest in this film.

Bryan Cranston As the Villain

Emmy winner Bryan Cranston plays the film's mysterious antagonist. While his character’s identity remains unknown, fans can expect a ruthless and cunning villain from Bryan that will make the good guys “tread lightly”. After all, he is “the one who knocks”.

Catherine O'Hara As Elly's Mother

Emmy winner Catherine O'Hara takes on the role of Elly's mother, bringing her unique charm to the film.

Samuel L. Jackson As A Mysterious Ally

Academy Award nominee Samuel L. Jackson joins the cast as a valuable ally to Elly and Aiden. People can pretty much expect Samuel Jackson to appear in every single blockbuster movie now.

John Cena And Ariana DeBose As Literary Allies

John Cena and Academy Award winner Ariana DeBose play literary allies to Henry Cavill's superspy character. It is unknown exactly what role John Cena will play in Argylle, but seeing him in action alongside Henry Cavill is a guaranteed good time. Too bad we can’t see him.

Sofia Boutella And Rob Delaney

While their roles are undisclosed, Sofia Boutella and Rob Delaney round out the talented ensemble.

Adorable Cat As Alfie

Last but not least, Bryce Dallas Howard's feline co-star, Alfie, adds a touch of charm to the film. He is Elly Conway’s cat, and he’s cute.
