Henry Golding is among a raft of new cast members who have joined Guy Ritchie's upcoming movie The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare.
Deadline reports that Alex Pettyfer, Alan Ritchson, and Hero Fiennes Tiffin have also joined the war film, as have Henrique Zaga, Cary Elwes, Babs Olusanmoku, and Til Schweiger.
Henry Cavill and Eiza González were previously cast in the project, which is due to start shooting this month in Turkey. Based on a book by Damien Lewis, the film will tell the true story of a top-secret World War 2 organization formed by Winston Churchill and future James Bond creator Ian Fleming to defeat the Nazis using so-called "ungentlemanly" means. Hot off an Oscar nomination for Top Gun: Maverick, Hollywood veteran Jerry Bruckheimer is producing the movie.
The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare is something of a reunion for Golding and Ritchie, who previously worked together on the 2019 crime flick The Gentlemen. Ritchie has been especially prolific since then, directing the heist movie Wrath of Man, spy comedy Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre, and upcoming thriller film The Covenant.
Meanwhile, we'll see Golding next in Assassin Club, an action-thriller starring Noomi Rapace due later this year.
