Filmmaker
Matthew
Vaughn
asked
star
Henry
Cavill
to
sport
a
Nehru
Jacket
for
the
upcoming
film
'Argylle'
and
said
that
it
is
quite
challenging
to
pull
off
that
look
but
the
actor
managed
to
do
it.
Vaughn
said:
"I
felt
Henry
could
give
me
all
the
classic
spy
stuff.
He
can
give
me
a
wink;
he
can
do
all
the
things
I
want
from
a
spy.
Agent
Argylle's
appearance
is
a
bold,
instantly
iconic
throwback
to
the
'80s."
Matthew
Vaughn's
Obsession
with
80's
Styles
"I
have
had
an
enduring
obsession
with
the
styles
of
that
era,
including
the
likes
of
Dolph
Lundgren
as
Ivan
Drago
in
Rocky
IV,
and
the
era's
signature
flattops.
That's
why
we
decided
to
give
Argylle
one," he
said.
Vaughn
said
that
Cavill's
portrayal
is
great.
"I
needed
someone
who
could
exude
the
essence
of
a
James
Bond-type
character,
but
with
a
twist.
Whoever
could
play
James
Bond,
I
thought,
'I'm
going
to
give
him
a
flattop
and
a
Nehru
jacket.'
It
is
quite
challenging
to
pull
off
that
look
but
Henry
managed
to
do
it
seamlessly.
Henry
could
make
a
fabulous
Bond
as
well,
and
that's
why
we
cast
him."
Trust
and
Collaboration
Between
Vaughn
and
Cavill
Cavill
recalled:
"Matthew
said,
'Look,
you're
going
to
have
a
flattop.
I
know
it
sounds
crazy,
and
maybe
it
is,
but
I
promise
you
it'll
work.
Or
maybe
it
won't.
But
have
fun
with
it
anyway
and
trust
me.So,
I
did.
Matthew
is
a
great
storyteller.
He
knows
what
he
wants
and
his
eye
for
detail
is
extraordinary.
"He
and
I
have
a
great
shorthand;
we've
known
each
other
for
years
and
he
always
brings
a
sense
of
unique
fun
to
anything
he's
working
on.
He's
a
good,
straightforward
communicator,
and
as
an
actor,
that's
what
I
need.
At
the
end
of
the
day,
it's
about
trusting
your
director
and
leader,
and
Matthew
is
someone
you
can
trust."
'Argylle'
Offers
a
Unique
and
Bold
Story
Once
Cavill
read
the
film's
script,
he
realised
that
the
story
was
different
from
anything
he'd
read
before.
He
said:
"It
was
unique
in
its
own
space.
It
was
refreshing
to
see
something
new,
bold
and
willing
to
take
risks.
There
is
a
tendency
these
days
for
a
good
product
to
come
out
and
then,
for
the
next
ten
years,
everything
is
just
like
that
product,
but
not
quite.
Matthew's
projects
are
never
like
that.
Argylle
is
about
as
far
from
generic
as
you
can
get."
'Argylle'
is
distributed
by
Universal
Pictures
(Warner
Bros
Discovery)
and
will
be
released
in
India
on
Feb
2
in
English
and
Hindi.
With
Henry
Cavill

flattop,

Vaughn's

80's
styles,

upcoming
film
'Argylle'
is
set
to
be
a
unique
and
bold
addition
to
the
spy
genre.
The
trust
and
collaboration
between
Vaughn
and
Cavill
have
resulted
in
a
film
that
promises
to
be
far
from
generic
and

a
refreshing
take
on
storytelling.
