“The line between Elly’s fictional world and her real one begins to blur as Elly races across the world to stay one step ahead of the killers, accompanied by Aiden, a cat-allergic spy and carrying Alfie in her backpack.”

Vaughn revealed that Argylle will subvert the spy movie genre in an interview with Den of Geek, saying, “I’m guilty of contributing to creating the tropes that we all know in spy movies.” I therefore adore the concept of reimagining some of the clichés that I myself fall victim to.
