Why Not Romancing the Global Heartthrob Henry Cavill Was Loved by Eiza González in ‘The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare'

Henry Cavill is having a roll this year with a lineup of engaging projects. Just a while ago, the top spot in this lineup was held by the captivating clip of Cavill spinning around with a Dua Lipa in Argylle. However, the movie was easily overshadowed by The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, a Guy Ritchie spy action comedy without any hint of romance, to Eiza González's relief.

Loosely based on real-life events, it does away with one aspect of the original tale that fans would have loved to watch: a romance between Cavill and Eiza González. However, the actress herself could not be happier about not sharing romantic scenes with Henry Cavill.

British superstar Henry Cavill would never admit it himself, but he is quite the stunner. His impact became further clear as the top moments to emerge from Netflix's The Witcher were what is now known fondly as the iconic bathtub scene and his shared moments with Anya Chalotra's Yennefer. But despite all this, Eiza González 'loved' that she did not have any romantic scenes with Henry Cavill as revealed to Entertainment Weekly. When asked the reason, the actress said the no romance trope was a "unique take."

Speaking to Weekly further, she shared how she enjoys romantic scenes and even loves watching them but not having them in the recent flick made it possible for each character to live their individual arcs to the full extent. "Nothing distracted from the mission," she further added while explaining her thoughts about the unique take.

While the British actor has yet to comment on the same, fans have an inkling that his take would not be much different. Especially given how much he has come to cherish his time on the movie's set.

Henry Cavill is a man of the most refined words, notorious for his gentlemanly affairs. However, it seems that being a part of The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare was his true calling. Apart from making a splashing return to the spy action genre, Cavill also got the chance to dip his toes in comedic waters while also donning historic attire that fans love so much.

Beyond the professional success that the film has brought for the actor, it has given him priceless memories. As evident by the fun-packed banter in interviews and behind-the-scenes footage, Henry Cavill could not be any happier on The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, regardless of whether he had to share romantic scenes with Eiza González, unlike he did in his previous movies and shows
