Claudia appeared with Chip on the Jonathan Ross Show in November and explained how her cat was cast in his debut film.

Apple announced in August 2021 that they had acquired the rights to the film for a whopping $200 million, with Vaughn giving his thoughts on the unpublished manuscript in the announcement.
“When I read this early draft manuscript, I felt like it was the most incredible and original spy franchise since Ian Fleming’s books of the 1950s,” Vaughan said.
The director added, “This is going to reinvent the spy genre,” although very little is known about the actual author.
Argylle will be released in cinemas on February 2, 2024.
