The first set images from director Guy Richie’s reboot of cult series THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. have surfaced as shooting on the 1960s period-set action-adventure is now underway. The film stars MAN OF STEEL’s Superman Henry Cavill in the lead role of Napoleon Solo (previously played by Hollywood legend Robert Vaughn), alongside THE LONE RANGER’s Armie Hammer as his Russian sidekick Illya Kuryakin (originally taken by David McCallum).
Warner Bros. are hoping to begin a MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE-style franchise set in the international organisation of the United Network Command for Law and Enforcement as they aim to put a stop to shady operatives of T.H.R.U.S.H. (Technological Hierarchy for the Removal of Undesirables and the Subjugation of Humanity).
Check out the first look at Cavill’s heroic character.
THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. co-stars Alicia Vikander, Elizabeth Debicki, Jared Harris, Luca Calvani and Hugh Grant. It’s expected in cinemas next year.
