Besides his mastery of the crime thriller, director Guy Ritchie (Snatch) is well known for his unpredictable filmmaking style on set, and for the ensemble casts he assembles. The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare reunites Ritchie with previous collaborators like Eiza González, who will be in his upcoming film The Grey, Babs Olusanmokun (Wrath of Men), Cary Elwes (Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre), and Ministry's lead, Henry Cavill (The Man from U.N.C.L.E.). It was also another opportunity for these actors to flex their acting chops on set, where Ritchie often favors more improv over scripted dialogue and scenes.

The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, produced by Jerry Bruckheimer (Top Gun: Maverick), tells a rip-roaring account of what's credited as the first-ever special ops mission during World War II. Spearheaded by Winston Churchill, Elwes takes the reins on this operation in the movie and rallies together a suicide squad of sorts to go behind enemy lines and "set Europe ablaze." The ragtag team of combat experts comprises Cavill's Gus March-Phillips, Alan Ritchson's (Reacher) Anders Lassen, González's Marjorie Stewart, Olusanmokun's Heron, Henry Golding (The Gentlemen) as Freddie Alvarez, Alex Pettyfer (Magic Mike) as Geoffrey Appleyard, and Hero Fiennes Tiffin (The Woman King) as Henry Hayes.

In this interview with Collider's Steve Weintraub, Elwes, González, and Olunsanmokun discuss continuing their Guy Ritchie "summer camp" with Ministry, where they shoot on location across the globe and get to see their film family again. They talk about the day the director completely threw out the script and share tips on how to prepare to be unprepared. The trio also talk about the true story behind the movie and why Ritchie was the perfect director to adapt it.
