After Lukewarm Reception of ‘Argylle’, Henry Cavill Gets Creative While Promoting His New Spy Flick

When Matthew Vaughn hinted that Argylle
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/argylle/] may be the first to come from a
connected cinematic universe, Henry Cavill
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/henry-cavill/] fans were elated at the
possibility of a franchise. However, the initial response it received dulled the
thrill around the prospect of Cavill’s first-ever spy character becoming a
recurring one. Fans expected Agent Argylle, who is both fictional and real
within the espionage film, to become his breakthrough into the espionage genre. 

That ship may have sailed, but the British actor does not seem to have given up
his efforts to urge his fans to watch the movie, regardless. 


HENRY CAVILL POSES FOR A PROMOTIONAL POST WITH A TWIST

Today, Cavill shared a click of himself reading the Argylle novel that his new
movie centers around. The 40-year-old had his feet up on a coffee table, beaming
and showing off a pair of yellow and ochre Argyle pattern socks. The accessory
aligning with the book in his hands makes one wonder if the movie’s merch will
be dropping soon! He urged audiences to watch the “slightly mad, but extremely
fun” movie over “the weekend”.

Despite the heavy marketing The Witcher
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/the-witcher/] actor engaged in to boost the
flick, it has failed to take off so far. Considering that Argylle’s rating
failed to even hit 50% approval
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/hollywood-news-matthew-vaughn-henry-cavill-starrer-argylle-debuts-on-par-with-justice-league-score/],
memorabilia donned by its star-studded cast may just be the perfect alternative
for its makers to make a profit at this point. At the same time, rumors suggest
that the superstars Cavill, Dua Lipa, and John Cena’s screen time in Argylle
were very short.

All this has not deterred the flick’s director, Matthew Vaughn, from singing
praises of his leading man.


MATTHEW VAUGHN IS SUFFICIENTLY HAPPY WITH CAVILL’S EFFORTS

According to statements made by Vaughn recently, Cavill was the perfect man for
Argylle in his mind
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/hollywood-news-i-felt-henry-could-give-me-matthew-vaughn-on-why-henry-cavill-is-the-perfect-protege-in-argylle/]
because he could “do all the things” he expected from a “classic spy” role. In
particular, he also mentioned the “wink” that Agent Argylle drops often. Not
only for espionage movies, he also relayed his wish to make a DC Superman flick
alongside the Man of Steel actor recently.

Considering the Kingsman trilogy and Kick-Ass director’s expertise in action and
espionage thrillers, one can assume he has an eye for picking the right actors.
So, the fact that Argylle is not turning into the success viewers and its crew
hoped for, is in a way an exception to the rule. However, Vaughn’s adoration for
the Enola Holmes actor hints that they may team up for another project soon.

As Argylle arrives in theatres, Henry Cavill extends his marketing streak for his new flick to his social media through a unique post.

Ibadat Kaur, a Hollywood News writer at Netflix Junkie, has writ over 500+ copies on the latest updates of celebrities like Ryan Reynolds and Henry Cavill. Kaur also delves into sling form copies around the nuances of series. One example of this is her piece on Sex Education Season 4 where she talked about how the show turned a hated character like Aimee into one loved by many. Away from work, her time spent training her dog, Raven, keeps her going.
