Hmmm... I'm sorry to come off as pessimistic from the get-go, but I honestly feel like the game is releasing quite a few years late.

That cartoony aesthetic AND "hero-based shooter" archetypes are quite overdone by now. Obviously, Overwatch steamrolled the competition back in the day, so it wouldn't have been wise to release it back then either. But I feel like the bubble popped. Similarly, while it was fresh when Team Fortress 2 did it, that "Pixar-movie" look has been copied many times since. It just isn't enough to sell a game on its own anymore.

Naturally, the fact that it's taking place within a spying world might prove to offer an unique take on the experience. And if the game is fun to play... Who cares if it's not the most novel ?! But as of yet, I'm not that hyped to be fair. Let's say I'll need to see it in action. Or better yet : give it a try upon release.
