Henry Cavill seems to be having a blast since leaving the role of Superman behind.
The Man of Steel star has Argylle hitting theaters this weekend, and the first trailer for Guy Ritchie's (The Gentlemen, Snatch, Aladdin) latest action flick, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, is now online.
Based on a true story (believe it or not), the movie is an adaptation of the book The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare: How Churchill’s Secret Warriors Set Europe Ablaze and Gave Birth to Modern Black Ops (we get why they shortened the title) by Damien Lewis.
The story focuses on the formation of the first-ever special forces organization during WWII, as a top-secret combat unit comprised of a group of "bad people" embark on a mission to take the fight to the Nazis... utilizing any and all dirty tactics to get the job done.
Henry Cavill leads the team, which also includes Eiza González, Alan Ritchson, Alex Pettyfer, Hero Fiennes Tiffin, Babs Olusamokun, Henrique Zaga, Til Schweiger, Henry Golding, and Cary Elwes.

Based upon recently declassified files of the British War Department and inspired by true events, THE MINISTRY OF UNGENTLEMANLY WARFARE is an action-comedy that tells the story of the first-ever special forces organization formed during WWII by UK Prime Minister Winston Churchill and a small group of military officials including author Ian Fleming. The top-secret combat unit, composed of a motley crew of rogues and mavericks, goes on a daring mission against the Nazis using entirely unconventional and utterly “ungentlemanly” fighting techniques. Ultimately their audacious approach changed the course of the war and laid the foundation for the British SAS and modern Black Ops warfare.
