The Man From U.N.C.L.E. Trailer Breakdown: 25 Things You Need To See

23. Armie Hammer As Illya Kuryakin

Armie Hammer, meanwhile, is still reeling from the absolute failure of The Lone Ranger. Having wowed audiences in the dual role of The Winklevoss Twins (thanks to some fancy CGI trickery) in Facebook movie The Social Network, the titular role in that other big-screen remake of a classic TV show wasn't quite the big break the actor needed. Thankfully he looks to be on sturdier ground here, because he's arguably as captivating - if not more so - a screen presence as Cavill. Hammer stars as Illua Kuryakin, played by Scottish actor David McCallum in the TV series, who began as a supporting character before slowly becoming a co-lead.
