Henry Cavill’s Latest Role Fulfilling Everyone’s James Bond Dreams

We can all relax now: Cavill did get to play the most iconic superspy, after all.

Henry Cavill did, in fact, just portray James Bond in his upcoming movie, “The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare.” In this film, Cavill portrays Gus March-Phillips, the real-life inspiration for James Bond. Directed by Guy Ritchie, the movie tells the true story of a secret British group called the Special Operations Executive during World War II. Established by Winston Churchill, this group’s unconventional tactics against the Germans played a significant role in changing the course of the war and paved the way for modern covert operations.

So, while many fans have been advocating for Cavill to officially become the next James Bond, they may have missed the fact that he has already taken on a similar role in “The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare.”

Guy Ritchie’s New War Drama Coming in Hot

On April 19, 2024, Guy Ritchie’s The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare is scheduled for a worldwide premiere. The upcoming war drama action has an impressive star-studded cast, including Henry Cavill, Alan Ritchson, Alex Pettyfer, and Eiza González, and an interesting backdrop different from other war movies.

The upcoming film will follow a unique group of professional soldiers who, unbound by the law as we know it, are sent beyond the Nazi lines to wreak havoc in their own way. This British unit historically became the predecessor of the modern Black Ops and was created by Winston Churchill specifically to carry out complex missions.

What Does James Bond Have to Do with That?

Alright, you must be thinking: where does James Bond fit into all of this? He didn’t take part in World War II, after all, right? That’s where you’re wrong: he did.

In fact, the legendary Agent 007 was largely created after one of the operatives from Churchill’s secret military unit. His name was Gus March-Phillips, and he became the prototype for James Bond thanks to liaison officer — the one and only Ian Fleming.

In The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, Henry Cavill portrays Gus March-Phillips, meaning that after all these years, the Superman star finally got to play James Bond — or, rather, his historical prototype. There might be little to no dry martini in Guy Ritchie’s upcoming war action, but if you’re anything like us, the very fact that Cavill plays the OG Agent 007 should make you quite happy.
