Cavill has long been rumoured as a potential future 007. <\/p>
Over the years, Henry Cavill has regularly been rumoured to be in the running for the next James Bond<\/a> \u2013 and although it now seems unlikely that will ever materialise, he does prove he\u2019s game for a spy adventure in Argylle<\/a>.<\/p>\n Matthew Vaughn\u2019s latest action comedy sees Cavill take on the role of the titular agent, who is the creation of fictional spy novelist Elly Conway (Bryce Dallas Howard) in the film.<\/p>\n It\u2019s fair to say that Agent Argylle has a few things in common with 007, and speaking exclusively to RadioTimes.com<\/a> ahead of the movie\u2019s release, Cavill revealed he had fun playing a character in that mould.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s sort of all the spy tropes, but dialled up to 11,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd that\u2019s fun.\u201d<\/p> He added: \u201cI mean, there\u2019s a lot of great franchises out there that do spies very well, and we didn\u2019t have to tread on their toes because we were having fun this entire time!\u201d<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Vaughn explained that he drew on a huge variety of spy films and franchises as influences when crafting the film \u2013 both outlandish ones and some more grounded examples.<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cAnd then I thought we take that, reinvent it, and meet a new type of spy who is more based on the Le Carr\u00e9 version of spies.<\/p>\n \u201cWith a real spy, you shouldn\u2019t notice \u2013 a real spy should come in the room, they leave [and] you don\u2019t know what\u2019s happened.<\/p>\n \u201cNot they come in the room and they\u2019re a great looking male model and you know what their favourite drink is. That\u2019s sort of ridiculous, if that\u2019s what you think a spy should be.\u201d<\/p>\n He continued: \u201cI thought, wow, this is going to be fun juxtaposing the two together. Henry Cavill on the left. Sam Rockwell on the right. And then Bryce in the middle trying to figure out how the illusion that she\u2019s created, the fantasy and the reality smashed together to create a new genre.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
