Argylle is a 2024 action-comedy film that serves as a standalone spin-off from the Kingsman franchise. The movie was directed by Matthew Vaughn and features a screenplay written by Jason Fuchs. Its ensemble cast includes Henry Cavill, Bryce Dallas Howard, Sam Rockwell, Bryan Cranston, Catherine O'Hara, Dua Lipa, Ariana DeBose, John Cena, and Samuel L. Jackson. The story follows reclusive author Elly Conway (Howard), who finds herself drawn into a world of espionage when her novel unintentionally reflects the operations of an underground crime syndicate.

The film's announcement occurred in June 2021, with Vaughn committed to both directing and producing. During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, Vaughn worked extensively on developing the project. One month after the initial announcement, details about the cast and Fuchs' participation were revealed. By August, it was reported that Apple TV+ had acquired worldwide streaming distribution rights for Argylle. Principal photography commenced in the same month and wrapped up in December, with locations spanning London, Greece, and the United States.

Argylle made its premiere at Odeon Luxe Leicester Square in London on 24 January 2024, followed by a theatrical release in the United Kingdom on 1 February 2024 and in the United States the next day, distributed by Universal Pictures. The film became available on AppleTV+ on 12 April. Critics responded negatively to Argylle, citing issues with its storyline and length. It earned a modest box office return. In 2024, Vaughn announced plans for a prequel as well as a crossover film involving Argylle and Kingsman.
