Blurring the lines between fiction and reality
The film’s unique premise adds an intriguing layer to the traditional spy genre. As Elly Conway’s fictional spy, Argylle, goes on a mission to uncover a global spy syndicate in her novels, the lines between fiction and reality begin to blur.

A musical feast
Adding a unique flavour to Argylle is the inclusion of global pop sensation Dua Lipa in the cast. Known for her chart-topping hits, Dua Lipa’s involvement in the film is bound to elevate the overall experience. Whether it’s through a musical score or perhaps a surprise musical performance within the film, Dua Lipa’s presence promises an auditory treat that complements the visual spectacle.
