After James Bond, here is Henry Cavill! The actor, known for his role as Superman at DC and or Geralt of Rivia in The Witcher Netflix, will soon play a new secret agent. It will be the feature film “Argylle”, adapted from the eponymous novel by Elly Conway, by Matthew Vaughn (The King’s Man). The film will follow the story of a spy (Henry Cavill) who suffers from amnesia and believes he is a successful spy novelist.. When his memories and murderous skills return, he embarks on an adventure to exact revenge on the organization he worked for, The Division. The Witcher star will share the screen with singer Dua Lipa. The chosen cast is made up of Sam Rockwell (3 Billboards), Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad), Samuel L. Jackson (Avengers), John Cena (Fast & Furious 9) or even Bryce Dallas Howard (Jurassic World). Argylle is set to be a trilogy and the first installment is slated to hit theaters on February 2, 2024 and then on Apple TV+ at a later date.

The reasons why Henry Cavill is no longer in The Witcher

Henry Cavill quickly became the star of Netflix in the skin of Geralt de Riv, the witcher of the series The Witcher. A role that will soon be a thing of the past. Season 3 of the TV show will indeed be the last season in which the star will play, who will then be replaced by Liam Hemsworth. Henry Cavill, very attached to the character and work of Andrzej Sapkowski, was not always in agreement with the direction taken by the program. A year ago, he gave an interview to The Hollywood Reporter and affirmed the importance of respecting the original story: “As long as we can continue to tell great stories that honor the work of the author”. Another reason would be the relationship between the actor and the showrunner, Lauren Schmidt. According to recent statements, this one would have accused him, among other things, of being painful. As a reminder, the first part of season 3 of The Witcher will be released on Netflix on June 29, 2023.
