Superman actor Henry Cavill isn’t resting on his laurels since the close of the DCEU. The prolific actor has since appeared in Matthew Vaughn’s spy comedy Argylle, and will star in the World War II action film The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare in April 2024. The first trailer for the new film has dropped, giving strong clues as to its subject and general tone. The movie appears to follow the pattern of classic World War II adventure movies like The Dirty Dozen and The Guns of Navarone.Per the trailer, Cavill’s unorthodox British officer leads a do-or-die mission against the Nazis with the help of a rag-tag team of misfits. In this case, it’s based on an actual mission in World War II, despite taking significant liberties with the facts. The real-life operation inspired a number of notable fictional spy stories, particularly “black ops” narratives where the protagonists act without official orders or support. Here’s a breakdown on all the big questions surrounding Ungentlemanly Warfare.A raiding team seized the vessels on Jan. 11, 1942, from the Spanish-controlled island of Bioko (then called Fernando Po), and sailed them to British-friendly Nigeria. The British were concerned about conducting the operation on Spanish soil, which could be viewed as a violation of their sovereignty. Spain was neutral in the war, but was also controlled by a fascist dictatorship under Francisco Franco, and well-disposed towards Germany. The last thing the UK needed at that time was another enemy on its doorstep. Accordingly, British authorities refused to sign off on the raid, so it was conducted in secret.
