Henry Cavill has recruited a team of bada** Nazi hunters in the first trailer for Guy Ritchie's new WWII movie.
The upcoming film is based on the 2014 book Churchill's Secret Warriors: The Explosive True Story of the Special Forces Desperadoes of WWII by Damien Lewis.
It's also inspired by recently declassified files from the British War Department as viewers are transported back to the trenches of World War Two, when Prime Minister Winston Churchill formed the first-ever special forces organisation in 1940.

Take a look at the epic trailer for The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare below:
Churchill and a small group of military officials, including author Ian Fleming, recruited a group of rogues who are brought together to fight the Nazis.
Starring Henry Cavill, Eiza González, Henry Golding, Alex Pettyfer and Cary Elwes, the film follows the top-secret squad who use 'ungentlemanly' fighting techniques, that were picked up by the British SAS and modern Black Ops warfare.

The script was written by Paul Tamasy, Eric Johnson, Arash Amel and Ritchie.
Commenting on the trailer, one excited fan wrote: "Oh my, Henry and Alan in a film together? This is going to be delightful!"
A second added: "It looks f**king insane. Cavill and Ritchie together again. It's gonna be one hell of a movie!"
A third wrote: "Henry Cavill looks like he's having a blast in this film. That sold me even before I saw Alan Ritchson's name attached."

"Henry isn't just a nerd, superman, bada**, gentleman but a damn good actor. Can't wait for this," a fourth commented.
"I was hoping for a more accurate and grounded representation of the Special Operations Executive... But nevertheless this looks like a fun take on one of the most incredible groups of people in Military history," someone else thought.
"I think this is gonna be one of those movies where I'm gonna have tears in my eyes due to its sheer f**king awesomeness, and my girlfriend will wonder what the hell is wrong with me," another quipped.
The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare will drop on 19 April.
