Vaughn later clarified that the novel and the movie were developed concurrently, comparing the process to when he developed the Kick-Ass and Kingsman franchises in collaboration with others; stating that he received the script, followed by Conway's manuscript, and he merged the concepts in what is intended to be a meta-oriented experience.[4] In February 2024, it was revealed that the previously stated origins of the novel were a part of marketing, with the real authors of the Argylle novel commissioned by Matthew Vaugh; co-written in a collaborative effort by Terry Hayes and Tammy Cohen.[5]
