For his latest film, produced by Jerry Bruckheimer (Top Gun: Maverick), Guy Ritchie (The Man from U.N.C.L.E.) has assembled a suicide squad of epic talent in The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare. Based on an unbelievable true story, Henry Cavill (Man of Steel) leads an ensemble cast into the trenches of World War II, where their mission — the first special forces mission ever — is to, essentially, "scupper Germany's entire plans to take over the world." Oh, and to kill as many Nazis as possible.
Cavill and the cast take this job very seriously. In this interview with Collider's Steve Weintraub, co-stars Alex Pettyfer (Magic Mike), Henry Golding (Crazy Rich Asians), and Hero Fiennes Tiffin (After) join Cavill to discuss what it's like working on the set of a Guy Ritchie movie, and work together to figure out who had the highest kill count. The premise of the movie is that each member of this motley crew is especially skilled in some area of combat, but they're also all a bit mad, and extremely passionate about what they do. The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare also stars Cary Elwes (The Princess Bride), Alan Ritchson (Reacher), Babs Olusanmokun (Dune), and Eiza González (3 Body Problem).
