With DC rebooting its entire universe, fall of Netflix’ The Witcher, and Eon Pictures not providing any update on the new Bond actor, it is obvious that die hard Henry Cavill fans will be missing the British actor. Well, not to worry, Cavill is now returning to the big screen with his new collaboration with veteran director Matthew Vaughn. Argylle is the official adaptation of a novel written by Elly Conway of the same name. The film has generated decent buzz to its name, considering it is an early year release. As it happens, we have received the full plot summary for the film thanks to its red carpet premiere.

So, in case you are dicey about watching it and want to know what happens in the film, read on but beware that MASSIVE SPOILERS follow below!
Elly Conway, an introverted spy novelist, has just finished her fifth book about Aubrey Argylle, the title character of the eponymous Argylle series. On a train journey, Elly is saved from an ambush by an actual spy, Aidan, who explains to her that a devious organization, known as the Division, has targeted her because the novels seemingly predict their future. Aidan travels with Elly to England, hoping that her next chapter will reveal how to stop the Division.
In London, the duo searches for a “Masterkey” that would help expose the Division that Elly had also referenced in her novels. Suspecting Aidan wants to kill her too, Elly calls her parents for help. As they arrive, Aidan reveals that they are operatives working for the Division sent to capture her, forcing him and Elly to fend them off before fleeing. Escaping to France, Aidan and former CIA deputy director Alfred Solomon reveal that Argylle is not entirely fictional: Elly is in fact Rachel Kelly (an acronym for Argylle), who was captured and brainwashed by the Division five years ago; they put her suppressed memories into the novels. With the latest Argylle novel, Elly was about to uncover the whereabouts of the Masterkey before her cover was blown.
Aidan and Rachel travel to Arabia, where they retrieve the Masterkey but are soon cornered by the Division. Ritter, the Division‘s director, reveals that Rachel was one of their most loyal assets, after which she offers to interrogate Aidan, subsequently shooting him. She also locates Alfred for them, but reveals that she in fact sent him the Masterkey, betraying the Division. Ritter stops the transmission and she and a surviving Aidan fight their way through the ship, eventually killing him. Ruth, who pretended to be Rachel’s mother earlier, uses a mental trigger code to turn her on Aidan, until she is killed, after which Alfred finally receives the message.
Resuming her novelist persona, Rachel publishes her final novel, where at a reading, the real Argylle reveals himself, to her shock and confusion. In a post-credit scene, a young Argylle is revealed to be a Kingsman agent, with the first novel being based on his life.
Argylle will release in theatres near you February 2nd, 2024.
