There’s a real-life mystery involving John Cena‘s upcoming spy movie Argylle. The film is said to have been inspired by the book of the same name by Elly Conway. However, according to The Hollywood Reporter, “virtually no information” about the author exists online. Since several details surrounding Argylle appear to be connected to Taylor Swift, fans believe she may have actually penned the story. So, what does Cena think about the rumors? The actor reacted to the viral conspiracy theory while appearing on Today.
Did Taylor Swift Inspire John Cena’s New Movie?
Unfortunately for Swifties, Cena denied that the “Cruel Summer” singer is connected to his new film. However, he doesn’t mind the discussion. In fact, he encourages them since a real-life mystery is on brand for the movie.
I can’t think of a better way for people to get to know ‘Argylle’ — a movie where the tagline is, ‘The greater the spy, the bigger the lie’ — than with some misdirection, some spy-type deception. And I think it’s a perfect fit for this movie — the questions, the plot twists, the turns.

Swift may not have inspired the film, but fans had good reason to believe she was connected to Argylle. Besides the film being announced on Swift’s birthday on Dec. 13, 2022, Argylle has a 13-member cast. If you’re a Swiftie, you’d know 13 is Swift’s favorite number. Then, there’s the fact that the movie features a cat, and Swift is a huge cat lover. The singer was even featured on the official Instagram account for Chip the Cat, the adorable feline who appears in Argylle.
And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. According to fans, Swift has been photographed wearing a “Conway” sweatshirt, which could be a reference to Elly Conway. She has also had merchandise on her website named “Argyle.” As if that wasn’t enough, Swift has used a pseudonym before in her music that fans correctly guessed was her before she confirmed it.
So, could Cena be telling the truth about Swift, or is he just misdirecting fans? It seems the mystery surrounding Argylle continues.
