The plot follows the world’s number one spy and his international adventures in America, London and other global destinations.
As well as acting in the film, Dua Lipa will also provide the score for the blockbuster, which is set to start filming in Europe in August, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
Kingsman director Matthew said of the Argylle story: ‘When I read this early draft manuscript I felt it was the most incredible and original spy franchise since Ian Fleming’s books of the 50s. This is going to reinvent the spy genre.’
