While Henry Cavill was promoting his recent spy thriller, Matthew Vaughn’sArgylle, he was asked byColliderwhich film he would introduce himself to someone who has never watched his films. He said,
“I’m gonna try and keep it somewhat in the family. It’s an old colleague of Matthew’s — The Man from U.N.C.L.E. would be good.”
The film had earned a meager $110 million against a $75 million budget, making it a box office failure for the studio. However, Cavill and Ritchie did not seem to care as they will soon be reuniting on the upcoming action comedyThe Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare.

“To everyone else’s point, I think you can get nervous and scared before most scenes, really…But before I knew that, it was The Count of Monte Cristo, which was my first-ever professional job.

That was a pretty terrifying experience.”
