Why Ministry Of Ungentlemanly Warfare Excluded Romantic Plot For Henry Cavill's Character Explained By Co-Star

Summary The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare opts not to explore the romance between Henry Cavill's Gus and Eiza González's Marjorie, despite the figures' real-life marriage.

González reveals that director Guy Ritchie wanted instead to honor the figure's impact on the war.

González is thankful that her character was more than just a romantic interest.

The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare star Eiza González explains why the film exlcuded the romantic relationship between Marjorie and Henry Cavill's character, Gus. Directed by Guy Ritchie, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare is based on real events and people, chronicling Britain's first special forces team and the damage they did against Germany during World War II. Despite Gus March-Phillipps and Marjorie Stewart eventually getting married in real life, the film opts not to depict the pair's romance.

During a recent interview with THR, González explains why the Gus and Marjorie romance isn't included in The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare.

"It’s so funny that you say that. We went through a couple of ideas at one point, and Guy wanted specific things. So we went back and forth on maybe adding some scenes, but then I just felt that the way that they wrapped the film is way stronger. It’s not feeding into any love story, and not that it’s not important, but it’s more about honoring their individuality as spies and what they accomplished. And then it just so happened that they got together afterwards. "So we thought of a couple of ideas, but it ultimately felt way stronger with where it landed than digging into the romantic side. As a woman, you read a lot of these roles where you are an add-on to the male counterpart or a love interest or in a love situation, but it’s been a minute since I’ve played those roles. There’s nothing necessarily wrong with those roles, but it’s exciting that you can honor certain individual women for their own personal capacities, separate from their personal relationships."
