After his stint as Superman in Man of Steel, Henry Cavill is set to headline another potential franchise for Warner Bros. This fall, Cavill will co-star alongside Armie Hammer in The Man From U.N.C.L.E., based on the popular television series from the 1960s. The first trailer for the film was released today, and we’ve got it right here.
Warner Bros. released the first Man From UNCLE trailer via their YouTube channel. Check it out below.
This looks like a lot of fun, and knowing that Guy Ritchie is behind the camera makes me even more excited to check this out. I loved both of Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes films, and if this is cut from a similar cloth – which it certainly seems to be, based on the footage – then count me in.
Also starring Hugh Grant, Alicia Vikander and Jared Harris, The Man From U.N.C.L.E. hits theaters on August 14.
Henry Cavill (“Man of Steel”) stars as Napoleon Solo opposite Armie Hammer (“The Social Network”) as Illya Kuryakin in director Guy Ritchie’s “The Man from U.N.C.L.E.,” a fresh take on the hugely popular 1960s television series.
Set against the backdrop of the early 1960s, at the height of the Cold War, “The Man from U.N.C.L.E.” centers on CIA agent Solo and KGB agent Kuryakin. Forced to put aside longstanding hostilities, the two team up on a joint mission to stop a mysterious international criminal organization, which is bent on destabilizing the fragile balance of power through the proliferation of nuclear weapons and technology. The duo’s only lead is the daughter of a vanished German scientist, who is the key to infiltrating the criminal organization, and they must race against time to find him and prevent a worldwide catastrophe.
