Argyle with Henry Cavill: We need to talk about the post-credits scene of this action movie!

Warning – The article below contains spoilers as it discusses some of the major twists and turns of “Argylle,” especially its amazing post-credits scene. So please go ahead if you haven’t seen a Matthew Vaughn movie yet.

Matthew Vaughn’s new spy film Argylle has a lot of cool actors. Both action and coups. And this is until the last seconds, as far as twists and turns are concerned. Plus during the credits, that should raise a few questions… which we asked the director.

If we don’t have an exact answer, find out what it tells us. But first, let’s look at the main twists that lead to this ending.

Who is the real Agent Argyll?

more correctly “True Agent Argyle”. Because it’s – oh surprise! – From Eli Conway himself (Bryce Dallas Howard). whose real name is Rachel Kyle. or R. Kyle to pronounce it in English. Contrary to what he had previously thought, the spy novels he writes are not influenced by the intelligence community: they tell the past events that he experienced in a previous life before an accident caused him to lose his memory. .

Thus, the feature film begins as a pursuit of the green diamond before taking a 180-degree turn to become a retread of Jason Bourne. Feminine and with more humor, but the same uncertainty about the heroine’s past and the camp in which she found herself.

So Henry Cavill and his crew don’t exist?

He and no. For almost the entire feature film, Agent Argyle, played by the former Superman, is only a hero imagined by Ellie Conway/Rachel Kyle, based on his own memories buried in his subconscious. Matthew Vaughn and Bryce Dallas Howard on our mic also admit that the film talks about how it affects what we create, but that’s not the point.

• Do you know that there is another secret surrounding “Argil”?

Because the final scene settles the cards. When presenting a new book, the novelist is faced with a reader who addresses him as follows: “I have no questions for you. But I imagine you have two or three for me.” A man with the same features as his imaginary agent Argyll, the long neck replaces the crew cut.

To summarize, because it’s quite technical: Ellie Conway/Rachel Kyle wrote spy novels based on her memories of her life in the intelligence field, and whose protagonist is Argyle. Like a real secret agent he didn’t know existed, with Henry Cavill features.

And that post-credits scene then?

While the chapter raises a few questions, an additional scene adds a few more: twenty years before the events of Argyle (so in the early 2000s), a young man named Aubrey Argyle, already a long-neck lover, is shown walking away. He enrolled in a pub and began the future life of a spy, receiving a pistol and a silencer.

Where things get complicated is that the pub is called… The King’s Man. Like the prequel to Matthew Vaughn’s previous film, Kingsman. The secret organization’s logo can even be seen on the front, so there’s as little doubt as in this sequence where agents of the Statesman brand, the American equivalent of Kingsman, are sipping whiskey.

Should we conclude from this that we will soon have a film that will be both an Argylle and a Kingsman prequel? “The good news is that you ask the right question and you will have the right answers in the future”Matthew Vaughan answers when we ask him.

I hope the next chapter starts from the post-credits scene and you see winks and crossovers

“There’s a whole logic to the craziness we’re developing. The first Argyle book just came out and it’s great. I hope the next chapter starts today and you’ll see some winks and crossovers.’

Is Matthew Vaughn, the founder of the production company Marv Films in 2004, starting his own MCU? Marv’s cinematic universe, where the superheroes would be replaced by the spies from his films and where the members of Kingsman would exist in the world where Ellie Conway wrote the Argyll novels?

We hope the answers come quickly, just to know when and how this will all be organized and proceed. And how can two characters have Samuel L. Features Jackson, the first Kingsman villain, to play a supporting role here.
