Universal Pictures has released a first look at Argylle, an upcoming spy thriller that blurs the lines between fantasy and fact.

Directed by Matthew Vaughn of Kingsman fame, the movie stars Bryce Dallas Howard as Elly Conway, an introverted spy novelist who always has her cat, Alfie, by her side. But the plots of her novels mysteriously begin to seep into real-life, plunging Elly's otherwise solitude-filled existence into chaos. She is soon joined by Aiden (Sam Rockwell), a spy who accompanies her as things start to get complicated.

A first look sees the aforementioned Alfie as the star of the show (who happens to be played by the cat belonging to Vaughn's wife, supermodel Claudia Schiffer). But the film's whole cast is star-studded, featuring Henry Cavill, John Cena, Ariana DeBose, Bryan Cranston, Catherine O’Hara, Sofia Boutella, Dua Lipa, and Samuel L. Jackson.

Argylle is in theaters on Feb. 2.
