Due for release in 2015 is Guy Ritchie’s The Man from U.N.C.L.E. remake, which is based on the hugely popular 1960s television series of the same name. Henry Cavill (Man of Steel) stars as Napoleon Solo opposite Armie Hammer (The Social Network) as Illya Kuryakin. The upcoming film also stars Alicia Vikander, Elizabeth Debicki, and Jared Harris.

Set against the backdrop of the early 1960s, at the height of the Cold War, The Man from U.N.C.L.E. centers on CIA agent Solo and KGB agent Kuryakin. Forced to put aside longstanding hostilities, the two team up on a joint mission to stop a mysterious international criminal organization, which is bent on destabilizing 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 organization, and they must race against time to find him and prevent a worldwide catastrophe.

Updates: According to Cinema Blend, The Lone Ranger’s Armie Hammer is attached to star alongside Tom Cruise. | Deadline reports that Tom Cruise has exited as the lead in The Man From U.N.C.L.E., but he has stepped out to focus on producing and starring in Mission: Impossible 5. | Collider reports that Man of Steel’s Henry Cavill may be Cruise’s replacement. | Deadline reports that Hugh Grant is joining the cast. | First image from Guy Ritchie’s The Man from U.N.C.L.E. remake, featuring Henry Cavill and Armie Hammer.
