With Guy Ritchie's highly anticipated film, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, poised to make a splash at the box office, the director's admiration for Henry Cavill is evident on multiple fronts. As a consequence of what Ritchie defines as his refined gentlemanly conduct, the chance for Cavill to join the cast of Ritchie's next project alongside Jake Gyllenhaal and Eiza González became an inevitable outcome. While the movie remained unnamed until Wednesday, the Argylle actor stepped onto the stage at CinemaCon to reveal its title, In the Grey.

The actor further took the opportunity to generate excitement for another project he is involved in: the Highlander reboot directed by Chad Stahelski. Drawing attention to his impressive swordplay skills, reminiscent of his work in The Witcher, Cavill teased, "if you thought you’d seen me do sword work before, you haven’t seen anything yet." Thus, while he currently lauds his peers for delivering exceptional theatrical experiences, it is only a matter of time before recommendations come pouring in for Cavill himself.
