Henry Cavill offers his unwavering support to Guy Ritchie for the upcoming movie, despite their previous collaboration ending in a box office catastrophe.
Henry Cavill’s professional relationship with director Guy Ritchie has been a subject of interest in recent times. Previously collaborating twice, in the 2015’s The Man from U.N.C.L.E. and 2024’s The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, Cavill and Ritchie met with rather underwhelming performances of their films at the box office, both times.
