In the recently released spy comedy film, "Argylle," director Matthew Vaughn keeps viewers on the edge of their seats with a multitude of unexpected twists and turns. With its enigmatic storyline and nods to Vaughn's other spy-centric franchise, Kingsman, audiences have been left questioning the intricate connections between the two film universes.

The film's trailer piqued curiosity, introducing protagonist Elly Conway (Bryce Dallas Howard), a spy novelist who unwittingly gets embroiled in a real-world espionage plot resembling the ones she weaves in her books. Intriguingly, the trailer hinted at the existence of a "real" Agent Argylle, dashing fans into a speculative frenzy. Some internet theorists even proposed outlandish ideas, suggesting that Argylle could be Conway's pet cat, while others entertained notions of Taylor Swift's involvement as the fictional spy.

However, as the film unfolds, it reveals that Elly Conway herself is the real Agent Argylle, unaware of her own secret identity until the final moments. The revelation initially seemed straightforward, but a mid-credits scene throws a wrench into the conclusion. Set "20 years earlier," the scene features a young man named Aubrey Argylle (played by Louis Partridge) walking into a pub called the King's Man, further linking the narrative to Vaughn's Kingsman series.

This unexpected connection between Argylle and Kingsman has fans buzzing with excitement. Observant viewers have noted that Aubrey Argylle's name shares alliterative initials with key characters in the Kingsman films, such as Harry Hart (Colin Firth) and Orlando Oxford (Ralph Fiennes). While it remains unclear if the pub is a known front for the Kingsman spy agency, the possibility of exploring the Kingsman universe in a different era has enthralled fans.

Furthermore, an Easter egg in the film adds fuel to the fire of interconnectedness. Elly is seen drinking a Statesman bourbon drink from a can, which harkens back to the American equivalent of Kingsman seen in "Kingsman: The Golden Circle."

As audiences try to decipher the intricate web of relationships, it raises numerous questions. Who is the mysterious character played by Cavill that bears a striking resemblance to the fictional Agent Argylle? Does Elly have repressed memories of a real-life Argylle from her spy days, or is it all part of an undercover ruse? Could these hints point to the possibility of an Agent Argylle prequel film?

While the mid-credits scene has left viewers with a mixture of excitement and confusion, the box-office response to "Argylle" has been lukewarm, dampening prospects for a new trilogy. However, the planned sequels in the Kingsman franchise, including "The King's Man: The Traitor King" and "Kingsman: The Blue Blood," continue to generate anticipation among fans.

As the mysteries surrounding the interconnectedness of Argylle and Kingsman deepen, only time will tell if Vaughn chooses to weave these narratives together further. Until then, audiences eagerly await more thrilling spy adventures, wondering just how far this intricate web of connections will extend.
