Henry Cavill Takes on Nazis in 'The Ministry Of Ungentlemanly Warfare' Trailer 

Henry Cavill is diving into the exciting new Guy Ritchie action-comedy, ‘The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare.’

In the just-released trailer, the 40-year-old former Superman takes the lead in a "secret combat unit," comprised of a diverse and rebellious crew. According to the synopsis, they embark on a daring mission against the Nazis, employing entirely unconventional and decidedly 'ungentlemanly' fighting techniques.

This action-packed film, as per a press release, draws inspiration from recently declassified files of the British War Department. Adapted from Damien Lewis's book, ‘The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare: How Churchill’s Secret Warriors Set Europe Ablaze and Gave Birth to Modern Black Ops,’ the movie unfolds a gripping narrative based on true events.

The operation, highlighted in the film, represents the "first-ever special forces organization formed during World War II by U.K. Prime Minister Winston Churchill and a small group of military officials, including [James Bond] author Ian Fleming." Their audacious approach, as the synopsis reveals, not only changed the course of the war but also laid the groundwork for the British SAS and modern Black Ops warfare.

Guy Ritchie, the creative mind behind hits like ‘The Covenant’, ‘Sherlock Holmes’, and ‘The Gentlemen’, takes the director's chair for ‘Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare.’ The star-studded cast includes Ambulance actress Eiza González, Reacher star Alan Ritchson, Magic Mike actor Alex Pettyfer, After actor Hero Fiennes Tiffin, along with Henry Golding, Cary Elwes, Babs Olusamokun, Henrique Zaga, and Til Schweiger.

Henry Cavill, who's set to shine in the upcoming spy movie ‘Argylle’, shared his thoughts on Instagram in April after completing work on "Ungentlemanly Warfare." He praised the team's dedication and storytelling commitment, highlighting Guy Ritchie's unparalleled ability to weave stories and create characters like magic.

"It's rare to come across a team so driven, dedicated, and committed to storytelling," Cavill expressed. "Guy creates happiness on his set, it's a joyful place to be, full of laughter and japes and jests. The crew and cast's approach and personality are key to this. Everyone, without fail, was able to enjoy themselves while also working hard and being exceptional."

With this talented ensemble and a director known for his cinematic magic, ‘Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare’ promises not only an action-packed spectacle but an experience that will linger in memory for a long time. Get ready for a joyful and exceptional cinematic journey!

Henry Cavill showered praise on his co-stars, describing Ritchson as "the man mountain with a heart of gold," attributing to him both wisdom and talent that can sweep anyone off their feet. As for Pettyfer, Cavill characterized the 33-year-old actor as "the lover, the laugher, the warmth of a big smile, and a jawline that would challenge the Turkish mountains."

‘The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare’ hits theatres on 19th April.
