Scott Campbell: "Henry Cavill Reportedly Returning For The Man From U.N.C.L.E. 2"

- March 23, 2021

Guy Ritchie’s The Man from U.N.C.L.E. certainly deserved to find a much bigger audience than it did when the 1960s-set spy caper hit theaters in the summer of 2015, though. It was a fast-paced and frantic buddy movie laced with period trappings and anachronistic gadgets, led by the crackling double act between Cavill’s suave American agent Napoleon Solo and Armie Hammer’s gruff Russian operative Illya Kuryakin.

There was talk of sequel back in early 2017 after Hammer revealed he’d essentially pressured producer, co-writer and regular Ritchie collaborator Lionel Wigram into taking a crack at a second adventure, but there’s been virtually nothing heard from the project since. However, insider Daniel Richtman claims that The Man from U.N.C.L.E. 2 is back in early development with Cavill returning, although Hammer is reportedly and very unsurprisingly said to be out. So don’t take it as gospel quite yet that Warner Bros would plow forward with a sequel to a movie that flopped the first time around. Not to mention a brand that’s now been tainted by its prior association to the blackballed Armie Hammer.
