The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare' Trailer — Henry Cavill Outfoxes the Nazis

The upcoming action spy flick, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, from director Guy Ritchie and starring The Witcher and Man of Steel’s Henry Cavill has unveiled its new trailer ahead of Lionsgate bringing the movie to theaters later this year on April 19, 2024.

Based on the 2014 book Churchill’s Secret Warriors: The Explosive True Story of the Special Forces Desperadoes of WWII by Damien Lewis, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare will feature an all-star ensemble cast alongside Cavill, including Ambulance star Eiza González, The Gentlemen‘s Henry Golding, and Reacher star Alan Ritchson. Check out the trailer below:

This new release date puts The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare up against the likes of Zack Snyder’s Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver, which is due to receive a limited theatrical release; the horror movie Abigail; A24 and Alex Garland’s Civil War; and Challengers starring Zendaya, Josh O’Connor, and Mike Faist.

After wrapping on The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfar, Henry Cavill took to social media to share the news, and also shared an extensive behind-the-scenes look at the movie, which finds The Gentlemen and Sherlock Holmes filmmaker Guy Ritchie in the director’s chair. Check out the original footage from The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare below.

“That’s a wrap! My days on Ungentlemanly Warfare are over. Tis a sad day,” Cavill says in a caption alongside the footage, which shows off the Superman actor as a gloriously mustachioed war hero and leader of a band of black ops misfits.

“I’m going to echo the sentiments of my co-stars and sing the praises of our intrepid crew. It’s rare to come across a team so driven, dedicated and committed to the storytelling. That drive and dedication is only intensified by having a leader such as Guy Ritchie. His ability to weave story and create character might be second to none, and he wields it like it were magic.”

Directed by Guy Ritchie from a script he has co-written alongside Arash Amel, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare will be based on the 2015 book by Damien Lewis.

Inspired by true events, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare details the World War II strategies conceived by United Kingdom Prime Minister Winston Churchill and James Bond creator and author Ian Fleming, whose clandestine squad’s unconventional and entirely ‘ungentlemanly’ fighting techniques against the Nazis helped change the course of the war and in part gave birth to the modern Black Ops unit.
