14
15	Napoleon Solo is a CIA agent, as well as a former soldier and thief.
16	----
17	* TheAce: Deconstructed with his status as the CIA's top agent. Solo's a BoxedCrook who really doesn't want to work for the CIA and would rather go back to living life as a carefree GentlemanThief. He also is shown to be a bit of a narcissist, having trouble adapting for other cultures and styles (like when dressing Gaby), and getting petty with others. Then reconstructed as because he hates his CIA bosses blackmailing him into working for him, he worked hard to be TheAce as a way to spite them.
18	* AdaptationalVillainy: He's an (almost) amoral BoxedCrook, con artist, liar and thief who can be ''very'' self-absorbed and more than a bit of a {{Jerkass}}. In the original show, Solo was much more heroic and morally upstanding from the start.
19	* BadassInANiceSuit: Napoleon is rarely seen outside a three piece suit.
20	* BigBrotherInstinct: Despite Solo being TheCasanova and Gaby being played by Creator/AliciaVikander, Solo never shows any romantic interest in Gaby, and his feelings towards her only ever come across as this.
21	* BoxedCrook: The reason he works for the CIA is that he was caught and convicted for stealing art. He works for the CIA in exchange for not spending his sentence in prison.
22	%%* TheCasanova: Which he uses to his advantage with Victoria to get on her good graces.
23	* TheCharmer: He seduces their hotel concierge, for fun.
24	* DarkerAndEdgier: He's much more callous and amoral than his series counterpart.
25	%%* DeadpanSnarker: He and Illya both get their shots in.
26	* GentlemanThief: Napoleon's backstory in the film is that he was a prolific art thief before he was finally caught. Also his cover in Italy. And, by all implications, the life he'd like to lead after his forced employment at the CIA is over. Actually, Napoleon never ''stopped'' being a thief; Sanders makes it very clear he's aware of the fact that Napoleon has continued his criminal career while working for the CIA.
27	-->'''Sanders:''' I know you've been taking care of yourself on the side, wetting your beak so to speak. We don't pay you enough to be able to put truffles in your risotto, Solo. But don't ever make the calamitous error of mistaking my deliberate short-sightedness for blindness.
28	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's smarmy, he can come off as quite the InsufferableGenius, and has enough snark to cover whole city blocks--but when the chips are down, he shows his real colors. [[spoiler:Exemplified at the end when he shows that for all his talk, he recognized what Illya's watch meant to him--when he happens to gun down the mook who has it, he takes it and returns it to Illya, instead of picking up his gun, despite having it readied.]]
29	* LastNameBasis: Only his mother calls him Napoleon.
30	%%* MrFanservice: Without even having to go shirtless at any point no less!
31	%%* OddCouple: With Illya.
32	* {{Pride}}: His defining motivation. After being forced to become a CIA agent, he decides to be the best agent, simply to prove he's better than his new bosses.
33	* RealMenCook: Right after he and Gaby escape East Berlin, he cooks a truffle risotto.
34	* RealMenWearPink: Shows his fashion sense when he and Illya are picking out clothes for Gaby.
35	* RedOniBlueOni: The cool, calm blue to Illya's hotheaded red.
36	* SharpDressedMan: ''All the time.'' Illya isn't exactly hobo-ish in his choices and knows how to clean up; but Napoleon is ''never'' seen looking anything less than dapper.
37	* ShipperOnDeck: Once he notices that Illya and Gaby seem to be getting close, he tends to leave them alone with each other; not without getting in a good natured jab at it all whenever the opportunity arises.
38	* SmugSnake: He's got moments of smugness, once others (like Illya) get past his charmer exterior.
39	* WaistcoatOfStyle: If he's not in full dress - he'll almost always have a waistcoast at least.
40	* WhatYouAreInTheDark: Finds and retrieves [[spoiler:Kuryakin's watch]] and in the end [[spoiler:when given the option to kill him, decides to disobey orders in favor of returning the watch and burning the disk which cements their friendship instead.]] He also goes back to rescue Kuryakin when he's at risk of drowning.

44	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/the_man_from_uncle_03.jpg]]

48
49	Illya Kuryakin is the KGB's best agent. He is reluctantly partnered with Napoleon Solo to help save the world.
50	----
51	* TheAce: The youngest man to join the KGB, and their best after three years.
52	* AdaptationalBadass: Though the original Kuryakin was far from a wimp, he was a small man (5 foot 7) of slight build, and was no stranger to occasionally being bested in a fight, particularly if he was up against multiple opponents. This Kuryakin is 6 foot 5, built like a wrestler, and can take out several armed police officers without breaking a sweat. He is also capable of running down a ''car'' and [[spoiler:throwing motorcycles.]]
53	* AmazonChaser: Says the man himself;
54	-->'''Illya:''' I like my women ''strong.''
55	* AmbiguousDisorder: Solo mentions that Kuryakin began having psychotic episodes around the time his father was arrested. [[spoiler:We get to witness one near the end of the film, after he is ordered to kill Solo]]. In reality what Illya experiences is not psychosis, seeing as psychosis [[InsaneEqualsViolent don't work that way]], though this could be a case of DeliberateValuesDissonance. The movie is set firmly in the 1960s, and diagnosis and understanding of psychological disorders was shaky at best. The ambiguity, and the 'psychotic' label, likely comes from a reluctance of the KGB to label their star agent as a problem case, as well of a lack of understanding about IED and PTSD.
56	* BadassBiker: Uses a bike to chase down Alexander's all terrain vehicle in the final car chase.
57	%%* BadassDriver: In the first scene chasing Napoleon and Gaby, he is capable of tailing them extremely closely, executing the same sharp turns and high speed moves as Gaby.
58	* BecomingTheMask: He pretends to be engaged to Gaby as part of their cover. But eventually, he starts to take his role as her fiance a bit too seriously.
59	* BerserkButton: Several, but in particular insults against either of his parents, and questioning his abilities.
60	* BruiserWithASoftCenter: He's big, he's strong, and he's built like a superhero and isn't exactly the nicest guy on first impressions; get past that and he can be incredibly sweet and dorky. His clear sincerity separates him from Napoleon's cool charm.
61	* CharacterTic: His hands start trembling and twitching once his buttons have been set off, he also starts sporting an incredibly sharp DeathGlare to boot.
62	* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Kuryakin tears the back off Solo's getaway car with his bare hands.
63	* DarkerAndEdgier: Much angrier than his TV counterpart.
64	* DarkAndTroubledPast: His dad was once one of Stalin's top subordinates but [[spoiler:got arrested on charges of embezzlement of state funds and was shipped off to a Gulag.]] As a result, his mother was forced to do some rather unpleasant things to survive as Solo implies in their first conversation.
65	%%* {{Deadpan Snarker}}: Goes toe-to-toe with Solo in this regard.
66	* EstablishingCharacterMoment: The opening chase frames Illya as an unstoppable terminator like Russian spy- until he sees an old woman hiding behind her door in the apartment building. Suddenly he's calling her dear, using his please and thank yous, as gentle as can be. It's Illya in a nutshell- unbeatable spy on the job, but painfully awkward when it comes to actual human interaction.
67	* FreudianExcuse: Definitely has some issues when it comes to his parents. According to his U.N.C.L.E. dossier shown during the end credits, he has been diagnosed with an Oedipus complex.
68	* GeniusBruiser: He's big, and he's strong, but he's ''definitely'' not dumb, being just as skilled as Solo is when it comes to the subtler aspects of their spywork.
69	* GreenEyedMonster: Clearly does not appreciate Alexander hitting on a rather charmed Gaby during the racetrack party.
70	-->''He's still a '''Nazi!''' ''
71	* HiddenDepths: Seems to just be a Soviet Terminator, until he helps Gaby pick her clothes for the trip to Italy. He's also a chess master, photographer, powerboater and wrestling champion.
72	* HotBlooded: He is very quick to anger. After Napoleon insults his parents during their first conversation, he flips the table.
73	* ImprovisedWeapon: At one point, he picks up a motorcycle and ''throws it at someone.''
74	* MotherRussiaMakesYouStrong: Often a point in his arguments, noting the difference in how things would get done in Russia, by Russians.
75	* RealMenWearPink: Along with Solo, he shows his own fashion sense when picking out clothes for Gaby to wear.
76	* RedOniBlueOni: The more emotional, straightforward, red to Napoleon's cool, calm, blue.
77	* RussianGuySuffersMost: Classic example. Not only is he the one with the saddest past (dad ended up in a gulag, and then [[SexForServices mum became popular with husband's friends]]) but [[spoiler:he's also the one who watches the woman he fell in love with betray him and his companion. Well, actually she was pretending to do that one.]]
78	* SmartPeoplePlayChess: One of his hobbies is playing chess, and he is very intelligent.
79	* SugarAndIcePersonality: Being the consummate KGB agent, he is brusque, surly and disturbingly prone to fits of violence. But there are moments when he is unexpectedly charming and chivalrous, such as when he apologizes to an old German for breaking into her home during his chase of Solo and Gaby or during any of his scenes with Gaby.
80	%%* TheStoic: Is this most of the time. Until you press his BerserkButton.
81	* VodkaDrunkenski: Averted; Illya keeps a tight control on his drinking.
82	* WhenHeSmiles: When he's not scowling, he actually has a rather nice smile which can usually be seen in his scenes with Gaby.

91	Gaby Teller is an East Berlin mechanic pulled into a spy scheme to find her nuclear scientist father.
92	----
93	* ActionGirl: Though not seen doing any actual fighting per se, [[spoiler:she ''is'' in on the operation and appears to be quite the skillful agent on her own.]]
94	%%* BadassDriver: Escaping from Illya.
95	* BeneathTheMask: There is more to Gaby than meets the eye and one of the first hints of that is after she makes a call informing whoever is on the other end of her meeting with her Uncle Rudi. After she hangs up, she stares blankly at nothing almost as if she is having a mini-HeroicBSOD moment.
96	* DoubleReverseQuadrupleAgent: [[spoiler:For about five minutes before we learn she was on the good side all along.]]
97	* FakeDefector: [[spoiler:Pretends to ally herself with the Vinciguerras in order to find her father.]]
98	* FemmeFatale: [[spoiler:The darkly triumphant look on her face after she betrays Kuryakin and Solo to her Uncle Rudi and Alexander implies that she was this all along. Victoria even tells Solo that this isn't the first time Gaby used her charms to insinuate herself into someone's good graces. But then it turns out that she's actually another agent working under Waverley's orders.]]
99	* GuileHero: [[spoiler: She pretty much fools everyone as to who she was truly working for.]]
100	* HiddenDepths: Keeps remarkably calm throughout the whole mission. [[spoiler:Makes sense she's a spy.]]
101	* IDidWhatIHadToDo: [[spoiler:Despite wanting to tell Kuryakin what her true agenda was, she kept silent for the sake of the mission.]] Same goes for [[spoiler: for when she is forced to betray Solo and Kuryakin.]]
102	* LoveInterestTraitor: [[spoiler:Appears to be one after she exposes Solo and Kuryakin, and the latter had been falling for her throughout the entire movie.]] But [[spoiler:it's later revealed she was under orders by Waverly.]]
103	* MadScientistsBeautifulDaughter: A nuclear scientist no less. [[spoiler:Except her father's not mad, just blackmailed, first by the Nazis, then by the film's villains.]]
104	* MoralityPet: By the end of the movie, one of the ways Solo and Kuryakin bond is that, when Gaby is threatened, both will go to any lengths to rescue her and kill the one doing the threatening.
105	* NervesOfSteel: Keeps her cool and calm throughout the whole mission.
106	* OneOfTheBoys: Or at least she seems to be in her East Berlin garage.
107	* PintSizedPowerhouse: She tackles Kuryakin to the ground despite the fact that he's a foot taller and probably twice as heavy. Though, he possibly let her considering her state of mind. And considering she's blackout drunk at the time, she might be even stronger than what's shown, though it is still debatable.
108	* SheCleansUpNicely: Once they get her out of her mechanic's jumpsuit and into chic dresses.
109	* SmurfettePrinciple: The only female of the main characters.
110	* TeamMom: Referenced almost by the word, especially early on when Napoleon and Illya are only moments from throwing down at any given second.
111	* ThisAintRocketSurgery: Being the daughter of a (literal) rocket scientist, it's no surprise that she's smart with plenty of HiddenDepths.
112	* WrenchWench: Her time spent at a garage and willingness to get dirty qualify her. Her mechanical skills are what first draw Alexander Vinciguerra to her.

121	Alexander Waverly is part of the British Secret Service. He ultimately recruits Napoleon, Illya, and Gaby to work for him as part of the United Network Command for Law and Enforcement.
122	----
123	* AdaptationalAttractiveness: Leo G. Carroll (Waverly's actor in the TV series) wasn't exactly ugly although he was definitely a much older man, but here Waverly is Creator/HughGrant.
124	* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Sees through all of Napoleon's slight of hand tricks.
125	* CommandingCoolness: Saunders identifies him as a Commander in Royal Navy Intelligence.
126	** And it's [[ShoutOut unlikely to be a complete coincidence]] that this is same rank (and branch of service) as legendary superspy Franchise/JamesBond.
127	* DeadpanSnarker: "For a Special Agent, you're not having a very special day."
128	* HiddenDepths: [[spoiler:His dossier, shown in the end credits, reveals he is a recovering alcoholic and opium addict.]]
129	* LastNameBasis: His first name isn't mentioned, likely due to a [[OneSteveLimit One Alexander Limit]].
130	* TheLeader: He is the man [[spoiler: pulling the strings behind Gaby]] and eventually he takes charge of the newly-formed U.N.C.L.E after convincing the CIA and KGB to allow Solo and Kuryakin to continue their work with him.
131	* ManipulativeBastard: See the spoilers for TheLeader entry above. [[spoiler: He recruits Gaby two years before the CIA or KGB are sent after her, when things go wrong he manages to manipulate the two organizations to do the legwork for him, and then comes out on top with a new organization to run and two elite agents under his command.]]
132	* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: The end credit dossier lists him as the second son of the Earl of Brinscote, though it also says he has relinquished the title. Possibly due to either [[spoiler:his current line of work or his former addictions.]]
133	* TheSpymaster: Shows himself to be well ahead of the game, managing to combine the forces of the CIA, KGB ''and'' the BSS.
134	* WaistcoatOfStyle: Stays just as well dressed as Napoleon.

146	* AlliterativeName: '''V'''ictoria '''V'''inciguerra
147	* AristocratsAreEvil: The main villain of a film, a high society lady belonging to a family of Mussolini supporters.
148	* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: Despite being far more involved and evil than her husband, she never got so much as a speck of dust on her until [[spoiler:she's blown up in a boat from a distance]]. Compared to her husband, who [[spoiler:got drenched in mud, rammed off the road in a car, rolled down a slope, then got a motorcycle thrown at him, and finally got stabbed to death.]]
149	* BestFriendsInLaw: Victoria seems to have been close with her late father-in-law, based on a couple of photos and the fact that he left the leadership of their organization to her instead of his son.
150	* BigBad: She is the primary antagonist of the film and the leader of the terrorists.
151	* BondVillainStupidity: After a whole film of being a borderline NoNonsenseNemesis, she finally screws up big time in the final act when [[spoiler:she reacts very harshly to the fact Napoleon Solo killed her husband]] and she [[spoiler:spends way too much time on the radio [[EvilGloating gloating]] about how she is going to [[ExitVillainStageLeft make her getaway]] and she will make it her mission in life to find and kill all of Solo's loved ones before coming for him last, enough time for the aircraft carrier Solo and the rest of the team are on to get a fix on her location and [[StuffBlowingUp blow her up with a cruise missile]].]]
152	* CrazyPrepared: Victoria doesn't like to leave much to chance. For example, when Napoleon came to visit her, she laced all the drinks with sedatives.
153	* EvilBrit: Victoria is briefly referred to as a British society woman and is a neo-fascist terrorist trying to build a nuclear bomb.
154	* FamilyExtermination: Victoria threatens to torture every living relative Napoleon has to death out of vengeance for [[spoiler: the death of Alexander.]] [[spoiler:She doesn't live long enough to get the chance.]]
155	* FemmeFatale: A picture perfect portrayal. It's even lampshaded during the briefing on her.
156	* FoeRomanceSubtext: She and Solo have no problem acting on it either.
157	* MeaningfulName: Vinciguerra, from 'vincere' = 'to win', and 'guerra' = 'war', a portentous name for a family of Fascists wielding a nuclear bomb.
158	** The name may also reference the [[RealitySubtext real-life]] Italian neo-fascist terrorist [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vincenzo_Vinciguerra Vincenzo Vinciguerra]].
159	* MoreDeadlyThanTheMale: She is already pictured as the brain of the operation and is really cunning. Even if Alexander is shown to handle the spies himself in pure action (car chase and brawling) she is still more dangerous thanks to her cunning.
160	* OhCrap: [[spoiler:Victoria gets a look of shocked realization on her face when she looks up into the sky and realizes that by answering Napoleon's radio call, she's directed a missile right onto her boat.]]
161	* StatuesqueStunner: Elizabeth Debicki is 6'3", slightly taller than Henry Cavill and slightly shorter than the 6'5" Armie Hammer.
162	* WesternTerrorists: Of the Italian Fascist variety.

171	* BadassDriver: He's at least a semi-professional race car driver, and gets to put his skills to use in the climax.
172	* BadBoss: Yells at his mechanics for not doing a dangerous alteration to his race car.
173	* BattleInTheRain: The final battle with Alexander has Solo and Illya fighting him in the rain.
174	* BloodFromTheMouth: [[spoiler: after Illya stabs him.]]
175	* TheDragon: He is Victoria's husband and right-hand man.
176	* MillionairePlayboy: Saunders and Oleg identify him from the start as a playboy more than anything. He's the Vinciguerra heir, but all of the real power in business and in the scheme lies with Victoria.
177	* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Inflicts one on Solo with a tire iron during the BattleInTheRain.
178	* NotSoHarmlessVillain: He's a playboy who seems to do nothing but pursue hobbies and Gaby (much to Illya's chagrin), with his wife as the real villain, but in the climax he manages to take on both Solo and Kuryakin at the same time.

183	->'''Voiced by:''' Pedro D’Aguillón, Jr. (Latin-American Spanish dub)
184
185	----
186	* AnythingButThat: When Rudi gets put in his own electric chair, he immediately offers to flip on his employers (or indeed anyone, whether he knows them or not).
187	* AssholeVictim: He got his comeuppance in one of the most gloriously ironic ways possible and absolutely no one gave a damn.
188	* ColdBloodedTorture: Rudi even explains to Napoleon that torture can be done for information or simply for the sake of pain. He is providing the latter.
189	* DirtyCoward: Once the tables are turned and he's in the chair, he handles it with a lot less grace than Solo, rapidly offering to sell out anyone and everyone, including his own niece, Gaby.
190	* ElectricTorture: Rudi's tool du jour. When there is a short in the system, he decides to go back to his trusty pliers.
191	* FreudianExcuse: Which Rudi even spells out in a photo montage. He was bullied as a child, so discovered an affinity with inflicting pain and terror on others.
192	* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Not only is he strapped into his own torture device and accidentally killed by it, the torture room being soundproofed keeps Solo and Illya from noticing until it is too late.
193	* KarmaHoudini: Played with when Solo and Kuryakin gripe that Rudi's willingness to provide information will mean that he'll get off lightly, and worse, his skills as a torturer are likely to prove useful to their own side as well. When they discover [[LaserGuidedKarma Rudi has just died horribly]], they're not too bothered.
194	* KickTheSonOfABitch: Gets a CruelAndUnusualDeath of being accidentally electrocuted, then set on fire. Neither of our heroes give a damn.
195	* LetMeTellYouAStory: He seems to like opening his tortures with a very elaborate photoslide of his life and career.
196	* MythologyGag: Rudi's last name, von ''Trüsch'', might be a nod to T.H.R.U.S.H., the villainous organisation which served as U.N.C.L.E.'s main opponent in the original TV series.
197	* [[RacistGrandma Racist Grandfather]]: When he finds out his German niece is engaged to the Russian Illya, his very first conversation with the man involves insulting his Russian heritage, comparing it to a purebred horse crossing bloodlines with a 'carthorse'. It's as distasteful as it sounds and has Illya clearly itching to [[BerserkButton reach out and crush his head.]]
198	* RedBaron: So dreaded by the Allies that he got ''three'' separate nicknames; the Dark Angel of Ravensburg, the Butcher of Belsen, and the Fifth Horseman, Doctor of the Apocalypse.
199	* SoftSpokenSadist: Talks in an extremely calm, smooth manner as he tortures people.
200	* TortureTechnician: Rudi has made torture his life's study and passion.
