New set pics have emerged giving us the first look a number of the cast members featuring director Guy Richie’s forthcoming remake of cult sixties series THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. We’ve previously brought you a dapper-looking Henry Cavill, who takes the lead role of CIA operative Napoleon Solo, but now we have our first look at Armie Hammer as his skilled KGB sidekick Illya Kuryakin and Hugh Grant’s chief of the United Network Command for Law and Enforcement agency.
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.
THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. co-stars Alicia Vikander, Elizabeth Debicki, Jared Harris and Luca Calvani. It’s expected in cinemas next year.
