The svelte spy types of Guy Ritchie’s The Man From U.N.C.L.E. look a lot more like they were born for this character poster business than, say, the Minions. Sure enough, their moment has arrived. Here’s five fashion-forward one-sheets to help us soak up all the pretty. Click to enlarge them. The five poster-ees are Napoleon Solo (Henry Cavill), Illya Kuryakin (Armie Hammer), Alicia Vikander’s Gaby Teller, Elizabeth Debicki as Victoria Vinciguerra and Hugh Grant’s mysterious Mr. Waverly. Between Solo and Kuryakin - and there’s bound to be the odd character curveball – bubbles the kind of tension that comes with having to cross the Iron Curtain to tackle a common enemy. As those great ideological warriors, Red Heat’s Ivan Danko and Art Ridzik, would tell them, sometimes you just gotta get on with it.
Transplanting the 1960s spy series to the big screen and boosting the budget, Ritchie’s version finds Solo forced to team up with his former KGB adversary Kuryakin in the United Network Command for Law Enforcement to take down a mysterious criminal organisation bent on destabilising the fragile balance of power through the proliferation of nuclear weapons and technology. The duo’s only lead is the daughter of a vanished German scientist, who is the key to infiltrating the criminal organisation, and they must race against time to find him and prevent a worldwide catastrophe.
The Man From U.N.C.L.E. lands in the UK on August 14.
