Henry Cavill: 5 Most Iconic & 5 Most Forgettable Roles BY GABRIELA SILVA JAN 30, 2020 7 Iconic: The Man From U.N.C.L.E. The Man From U.N.C.L.E. can be considered one of Cavill's memorable films because of its appropriate timing and his growing acting repertoire. The film premiered in 2015, two years after his debut as Superman in Man of Steel. The Man From U.N.C.L.E. allowed Henry to shine even more as a leading role alongside Armie Hammer and Alicia Vikander. The film did well at the box office with Rotten Tomatoes scoring it at 63% and audiences giving the film a 73% rating. Cavill played American spy Napolean Solo who must team up with KGB agent Ilya Kuryakin (Hammer) to stop a shadowy organization of former Nazis. To read the complete story click here.

Cinema Blend: "The Gentlemen Has A Fun Nod To Guy Ritchie's The Man From U.N.C.L.E."

The Gentlemen Has A Fun Nod To Guy Ritchie's The Man From U.N.C.L.E. BY JESSICA RAWDEN JAN. 28. 2020 12:07 PM When we talk about Guy Ritchie classics, Snatch and Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels are frequently brought up. But there’s one more recent movie Guy Ritchie fans really enjoy and that is The Man From U.N.C.L.E, the 2015 spy movie starring Armie Hammer, Henry Cavill and Alicia Vikander. If you are one of the low-key fans of the movie like me, Ritchie’s new movie The Gentlemen has a little treat for you. In fact, in a scene late in the movie, a major character is in a studio office sporting a poster to The Man From U.N.C.L.E. It’s a quick homage, but it was one I really appreciated as in general U.N.C.L.E. doesn’t get enough love. In fact, at one point Guy Ritchie didn’t even realize the movie had a fanbase rallying around it. The Gentlemen even featuring Hugh Grant is also a nice tie-in with Man From U.N.C.L.E, which features Grant in a small role...

The Wrap: "All 11 Guy Ritchie Films, Ranked Worst to Best"

All 11 Guy Ritchie Films, Ranked Worst to Best Where does “The Gentlemen” rank among the British genre director’s filmography? William Bibbiani | January 24, 2020 @ 7:18 AM #1. "The Man From U.N.C.L.E." (2015) Nestled perfectly in the middle of Ritchie’s fascination with male ego, macho bonding and eye-catching slickness, “The Man From U.N.C.L.E.” is far more than an adaptation of a 50-year-old TV spy show. The plot is exactly what you’d expect, with an suave American espionage agent (Henry Cavill) teaming up with and sniping at his sophisticated Russian counterpart (Armie Hammer) at the height of the Cold War, but all the details are predicated on luxurious explorations of 1960s style. These heroes don’t dress sexily as a byproduct of their coolness; they dress sexily because they care about fashion and know it inside and out. “The Man from U.N.C.L.E.” subverts the spy genre by working backwards, asking what kind of people would actually engage in the lifesty...

The Gentlemen Has An Awesome Man From UNCLE Easter Egg Guy Ritchie's latest movie, The Gentlemen, has an awesome Easter egg for his 2015 film The Man From UNCLE, which has a loyal fan following. BY MOLLY FREEMAN JAN 24, 2020 Guy Ritchie's latest movie, The Gentlemen , has an awesome Easter egg for his 2015 film The Man From UNCLE , which has earned a dedicated fan following in the years since its release. Ritchie directed and co-wrote The Man From UNCLE , starring Henry Cavill and Armie Hammer as American and Russian spies, respectively, who were forced to team up in order to help protect an asset played by Alicia Vikander. Though The Man From UNCLE reviews were middling-to-positive, the film had a weak box office run, only earning $107 million. However, the film has since had a resurgence in popularity through streaming and cable, and these fans have been calling for a Man From Uncle sequel for years. In 2017, Hammer revealed a script for The Man From...

While the film is by no means 'Oscar-worthy', it is a vastly entertaining movie that benefits greatly from the stellar chemistry of both Henry Cavill and Armie Hammer. The film follows Cavill (and American spy) and Hammer (a Soviet spy), as they must work together in order to unravel an evil plot that threatens to end the world.

(2015) - 7.34 Cavill has had his name thrown around as a potential replacement as James Bond once Daniel Craig steps down.

The first movie was supposed to launch a franchise but is The Man From U.N.C.L.E. 2 still on the cards? Here's what we know about the sequel. BY PADRAIG COTTER JAN 03, 2020 Armie Hammer Fans certainly want one but what are the odds of The Man From U.N.C.L.E. 2 coming together? Guy Ritchie's filmmaking career has been a wild ride since his debut  Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels  arrived in 1998. He's suffered through poorly-reviewed bombs like  Swept Away  or  King Arthur: Legend Of The Sword  and bathed in the success of the Robert Downey, Jr Sherlock Holmes duology and 2019's  Aladdin . Somewhere in the middle is 2015's  The Man From U.N.C.L.E. , his stylish spy romp starring Henry Cavill and Armie Hammer. The Man From U.N.C.L.E. 2 Is (Apparently) Being Written Star Armie Hammer has been a big cheerleader for a potential The Man From U.N.C.L.E. 2 and is aware of the fan demand for more 1960s spy shenanigans.
