In a dynamic reunion, Cavill and Ritchie’s The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare is now slated for an eagerly anticipated release on April 19. The film, inspired by Damien Lewis’s book, unfolds the riveting tale of Britain’s inaugural special forces unit during World War II, on a daring mission to strike at the heart of Nazi territory. With Ritchie at the helm, known for his cinematic flair in films like Snatch and The Gentlemen, expectations soar for a rollercoaster of action and wit.
Described as an action comedy, the movie promises to be Ritchie’s pièce de résistance, blending graphic violence with clever banter. The narrative, drawing inspiration from declassified files of the British War Department, introduces a motley crew of rogues and mavericks orchestrated by former Prime Minister Winston Churchill and James Bond author Ian Fleming. The plot will unfold with unconventional combat tactics while this eclectic team laced the groundwork for the birth of the British SAS.
With Cavill leading a star-studded cast, the film is poised to be a blood-pumping, humorous, and bizarre escapade, all evident with Cavill’s share on Instagram last year.

Cavill teased fans with a first look at his upcoming World War II action spy film, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare. Taking to social media, he shared a vintage, black-and-white image. It featured his character alongside a cast that included Alan Ritchson, Alex Pettyfer, Hero Fiennes, and Henry Golding. The image offered a glimpse into the world of “colorful characters”. More so, it hinted at a cinematic experience akin to Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds.
In this historical escapade, Cavill will take the lead. Meanwhile, Eiza González will assume the role of a military sniper with extraordinary spy-craft abilities. The ensemble cast, with notable names like Cary Elwes, promises a riveting blend of action, humor, and espionage. As the vintage image sparked curiosity, it was a glimpse into a world where wartime heroes employed unorthodox tactics. Moreover, the line between gentlemanly and ungentlemanly was blurred in the name of victory.
