Warner Bros. has found their lead team for the big screen remake of the 1960's television show THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. Henry Cavill, aka Superman, and Armie Hammer, aka The Lone Ranger, will play agents Napoleon Solo and Illya Kuryakin. They were agents of United Network Command for Law Enforcement (U.N.C.L.E.), who fight the forces of Technological Hierarchy for the Removal of Undesirables and the Subjugation of Humanity (T.H.R.U.S.H.) To be directed by Guy Richie, the film will also have Alicia Vikander in the cast. 
These roles were a bit of a hot item and a huge number of stars was considered for them, from Tom Cruise, Ewan McGregor and Alexander Skarsgard, to Joseph Gordon Levitt, Christian Bale, Michael Fassbender, Chris Pine, Russell Crowe, Jon Hamm and Ryan Reynolds. Henry Cavill actually auditioned for the role of the Russian spy Kuryakin, but got the other role instead after Tom Cruise left the project. Gemma Arterton and Emilia Clarke, aka Dragon Queen Daenerys, auditioned for the female role which later on went to Swedish actress Vikander. RYAN REYNOLDS
