Last month, Netflix released the hit mystery sequel featuring the return of Henry Cavill as Sherlock Holmes. Although the British actor played the supportive role of Millie Bobby Brown, he nailed all the traits of this legendary character. It certainly wasn’t an easy task to step into the boots of literature’s most iconic detective of all time. But the actor brought a new essence to the character where he is an older brother and some things are more important than his cases.

On the other hand, the devastating news of his departure from The Witcher left all the fans heartbroken. It was shocking for people since the actor himself is a big fan of the source material and viewers have always praised his role as the monster slayer. Many fans took to social media to express their views and said the show won’t be the same without him. Alas! there is nothing we can do now as Cavill has moved on and is gearing up for a brand new project kicking off soon.

Henry Cavill will be starring in Guy Ritchie’s new project

You might recognize Guy Ritchie for his box office hit movies Sherlock Holmes and its sequel, A Game of Shadows. The famous director has announced the start date for his new project that will be based on true events. During his acceptance speech at the Red Sea International Film Festival in Saudi Arabia, Ritchie revealed that the shooting of The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare will start in February 2023.

The 54-year-old filmmaker has collaborated with Paramount Pictures and Jerry Bruckheimer Films for this project. The movie will navigate the UK prime minister Winston Churchill and James Bond author Ian Fleming, as they begin a secret combat organization during WWII. The ensemble cast includes Henry Cavill and Eisa González, signed up for lead roles in the movie.

The Enola Holmes 2 star will be playing the leader of the clandestine organization, while González is depicted as a highly capable military sniper with extraordinary spycraft abilities. In case you don’t know, this is not the first time Henry Cavill is working with Guy Ritchie. They have worked together previously on 2015’s The Man from U.N.C.L.E. which was also a spy thriller.
