The highly anticipated trailer for The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, starring Henry Cavill, has been released, promising an exhilarating and fun-filled experience.
Directed and co-written by Guy Ritchie (The Covenant, The Gentlemen), the action-comedy spy film draws inspiration from the Special Operations Executive, a real-life World War 2 special forces team established by Winston Churchill. Known for their unconventional and ‘ungentlemanly’ warfare tactics, this group laid the groundwork for modern black ops teams. Adapted from Damien Lewis’ book, the film was acquired by producer Jerry Bruckheimer (Top Gun: Maverick) in 2015.
In the trailer, we witness Cavill’s character being recruited for a clandestine mission. He assembles a team of uniquely skilled individuals in a style reminiscent of Ocean’s Eleven. Together, they employ unconventional strategies to battle the Nazis, with Cavill’s character indulging in the thrill of the fight.
The cast features a remarkable array of talent, including Alan Ritchson from Reacher, Eiza González of Ambulance fame, Henry Golding from The Gentlemen, Cary Elwes from Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, and others like Alex Pettyfer, Hero Fiennes Tiffin, and Freddie Fox.
Cavill, sharing his excitement on Instagram, described working on the film as a memorable and joyous experience, attributing this to Ritchie’s positive atmosphere on set. The cast and crew’s approach made it an enjoyable yet highly professional environment. This film marks another collaboration between Cavill and Ritchie, following their previous work on The Man from U.N.C.L.E. in 2015.
The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare opens in cinemas on 19 April.
