Actors Henry Cavill and Armie Hammer provided a look at the backgrounds of Napoleon Solo and Illya Kuryakin during one of their many interviews at the San Diego Comic Con.
It was already known that The Man From U.N.C.L.E. movie coming out next month gave Solo a new back story of having been an art thief before joining the CIA. Here, Cavill provides additional details.
Meanwhile, Hammer tells new details about Kuryakin’s Russian background. It’s realistic (or at least semi-realistic) given the realities of the Soviet era.
Needless to say this is a spoiler. So if you want to find out, watch the video below. You won’t have to wait long for the details.
