Dua Lipa is going from Mermaid Barbie to femme fatale in the upcoming spy movie Argylle.
Lipa will star in Matthew Vaughn’s follow-up to the Kingsman film series alongside Henry Cavill as the titular Agent Argylle, a character in the spy book series by author Elly Conway (Bryce Dallas Howard). After Conway’s latest book accidentally predicts the happenings of real-life spies, she must team up with a secret agent (played by Sam Rockwell) to escape dangerous villains.
“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,” Vaughn said in a July 2021 statement about the film. “This is going to reinvent the spy genre.”
Vaughn’s production company, Marv Studios, released the first glimpse of the film in March 2022, which featured previews of Cavill, Lipa and costar Ariana DeBose. An official trailer was released one year later.
