Henry Cavill Talks Filming The Fight Scenes With Argylle Co-star Sam Rockwell
After Mission Impossible- Fallout and The Man From U.N.C.L.E. Henry Cavill has worn the spy hat again. The British actor would be playing the character of Agent Argylle in the Matthew Vaughn-directed project Argylle. During the promotion of Argylle, Henry Cavill appeared for an interview with the famous media outlet Entertainment Weekly.
While talking about filming a fight sequence with Sam Rockwell, Cavill said-
“Sam and I were watching each other and just trying to make sure that we had a similarity of movements. Certain movements worked better for him, so I would mimic those, and then different movements in other places worked better for me, so he would copy those. Fight scenes are tricky and complex, especially in a cramped space like that with lots of hard edges.”
He further shared-
“It’s quite nice doing these things when you have someone doing the exact same work as you. So I do my bit, or Sam does his thing, and the other one gets to rest. The camera moves on, and we get to have a nice break. It was definitely a new way of doing things, but I enjoyed it. It was a good challenge.”
Agent Argylle is a fictional character created by author Elly Conway played by actor Bryce Dallas Howard. Conway, a reputed spy series author, lands into a mess when actual spies start targeting her for the hidden information in her books. While she imagines Agent Argylle is protecting her, in reality, it is Agent Aiden played by actor Sam Rockwell.
Argylle is currently running in the theatres.
