Henry Cavill is all set to bid adieu to The Witcher with the upcoming season. With this, he is all set to give a farewell to the fantasy realm. Fans are eager to see him as Geralt one last time before Liam Hemsworth takes his place. While fans are disheartened with him leaving, so is director Lauren Hissrich who even mentioned considering ending the show post his exit. Not only her, but the rest of the crew would also miss his presence on the sets. 

Though Cavill’s partnership with Netflix is about to end, he has already joined hands with Apple for an exhilarating spy drama, poised to capture the collective imagination in a blaze of cinematic glory. This spy drama will be first gracing the silver screen in a mesmerizing symphony of action, intrigue, and audacious charisma before it streams on the OTT. But what exactly is the project about?

Henry Cavill is starring in an upcoming spy-thriller Argylle opposite Dua Lipa and directed by Matthew Vaughn. Fans were patiently waiting for the movie to get a release date to see the Man of Steel on the silver screen. And now, Apple has fulfilled this wish by pairing with Universal. As reported by The Hollywood Reporter, the movie will get a global theoretical release on February 2, 2024, before streaming on OTT. This is not the first time that Apple has partnered to give theatrical releases to movies before they stream on it. The OTT has also teamed up with Paramount to give Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon a global release. 

Argylle is based on a yet-unpublished novel by first-time writer Elly Conway. Apart from Cavill and Lipa, the movie will also star Bryan Cranston, John Cena, and Samuel L. Jackson. The release of the movie will clash with Robert De Niro’s Wise Guys and Lionsgate’s Imaginary.

The upcoming season will see Geralt making some tough choices and ultimately have a stance in the war, that is not political. While it is sure to have some exhilarating action-packed sequences, many new characters will be introduced to the show as well, like Jaskier’s rival, Valdo Marx.
