Henry Cavill and Armie Hammer played the roles of Solo and Ilya in The Man From U.N.C.L.E. in 2015. But after four years, fans are still expecting to see their return in The Man From U.N.C.L.E. 2.

The Man From U.N.C.L.E. had initially been an MGM television series that ran for four seasons on NBC before it was adapted into a movie under Guy Richie's directing skills. The show started the spy procedural craze of the 1960s before it became an underperforming spy film under Warner Bros. Although it didn't perform well in the box office, it was well-received by critics. It was said to be stylish, carrying a star-driven breeze.

If MGM once again collaborates with WarnerMedia to make The Man From U.N.C.L.E. 2, these studios can go on different directions. They can follow its original procedural format and aim for syndication. Hence, they can stick in on one of WarnerMedia's Turner networks - like TNT and TBS, per Observer.

Although Warner Bros. has yet to officially commission Man from U.N.C.L.E. 2, there are hopes that the franchise will continue. With the movie's $109.8 million worldwide gross against its reported budget of $75 million and Wigram's willingness to do a sequel, it is not far that fans will once again see Cavill and Hammer on the big screen together.
