Henry Cavill’s professional collaboration with director Guy Ritchie has garnered attention lately. Having worked together on two occasions, with 2015’s “The Man from U.N.C.L.E.” and 2024’s “The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare,” both films experienced lackluster box office results.

Therefore, as Henry Cavill entrusts his undying faith in Guy Ritchie, despite the two previous box office disasters, his move sparks curiosity among fans. However, set to reunite with the filmmaker for an upcoming thriller In the Grey, the actor-director duo appear to have concealed their 2025 release in mystery, revealing minimal details about the project.

Henry Cavill Reunites with Guy Ritchie Despite Previous Box Office Failures

Although Guy Ritchie’s latest film The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare starring Henry Cavill opened to strong reviews, the movie eventually struggled to make back its budget of $60M. Earning a mere $22M as per ScreenRant, by the end of its four-week run, the 2024 movie failed to impress at the box office, despite turning into a well-reviewed classic.

But that’s not the only collaboration from Guy Ritchie and Henry Cavill that tanked at the box office. According to reports from The Numbers, although their 2015 movie, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., didn’t stumble like their latest project, the movie evidently struggled to earn back its budget.

Earning just 1.4 times its production budget, The Man from U.N.C.L.E. garnered $108M globally against a $75M budget. Nevertheless, Henry Cavill has made news for teaming up once again with Guy Ritchie for his forthcoming 2025 project, despite their past collaborations resulting in box office failures.

However, Henry Cavill isn’t the only actor who is reuniting with the filmmaker. There’s also Jake Gyllenhaal, who is returning to work with Guy Ritchie after their previous collaboration in The Covenant failed to break even at the box office. It seems both Cavill and Gyllenhaal are entrusting their faith in Ritchie for some mysterious reason, despite history warning otherwise.

Henry Cavill’s dedication to working with Guy Ritchie is noteworthy, despite their past collaborations signaling caution. Cavill is teaming up again with Ritchie and Jake Gyllenhaal, yet details about their new movie have been scarce, fueling anticipation. Collider has revealed that the film, titled “In the Grey,” is scheduled for release on January 17, 2025. The movie’s storyline follows a group navigating the gray areas between criminality and legality, featuring Henry Cavill, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Eiza González in a quest for a fortune in stolen money.

From here onwards the plot details have been carefully tucked under wraps. However, witnessing Henry Cavill’s unwavering support for the director it seems that this project could be classic Guy Ritchie material with a hint of humor and plenty of action. With larger-than-life protagonists on their daring mission to support the filmmaker, In the Grey could finally mark a triumphant return for Cavill and Ritchie.
