The official synopsis reads:

'Elly Conway, an introverted spy novelist who seldom leaves her home, is drawn into the real world of espionage when the plots of her books get a little too close to the activities of a sinister underground syndicate. When Aiden, a spy, shows up to save her (he says) from being kidnapped or killed (or both), Elly and her beloved cat Alfie are plunged into a covert world where nothing, and no one, is what it seems'.

Prior to Argylle, Lipa had only acted in one movie - Barbie - but Cavill reckons she is a natural.

"She was marvellous to work with, good fun and game for it as well," the former Superman told Digital Spy.

"I didn't know what to expect with Dua Lipa, she's one of the biggest pop stars in the world and you don't know whether that person is going to come on with a sense of grandeur to them, but she was there on time, gave 100 per cent and was game for anything.

"She was there during rehearsals, she was there for the shooting and giving it her all. I was really, really impressed and she was wonderful to work with."
