It's a few months now since the first trailer and images for Guy Ritchie's The Man From U.N.C.L.E. first arrived. So with mere weeks left until its release, here's a new trailer to remind us it's on the way.
And that's not all! There's a fresh poster to boot. Napoleon Solo (Henry Cavill) and Illya Kuryakin (Armie Hammer) are, as you'd expect, prominent, against the backdrop of Rome's Colosseum. Alicia Vikander’s Gaby Teller is given equal background status with a car, and Elizabeth Debicki as Victoria Vinciguerra rather perculiarly looms over everything from the sky. The last poster was very yellow. This one's opted for turquoise and red.
Transplanting the 1960s spy series to the big screen and boosting the budget, Ritchie’s version finds Solo forced to team up with former KGB enemy 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.

Channelling the location-hopping style and slightly tongue-in-cheek feel of the show, this promises to see Cavill shrugging off Man Of Steel's cape to have a little fun, and plenty of origin story drama between him and Hammer. With Vikander, Debicki, Jared Harris and Hugh Grant along for the ride, The Man From U.N.C.L.E. is out on August 14.
