Eiza González's New Movie Role Confirms The Next Genre She Needs To Tackle

Summary Eiza González excels in singing in "The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare," suggesting she should accept a musical role next.

González has a singing background and should consider returning to her roots in musical movies.

Director Guy Ritchie spontaneously incorporated González's singing in the film, as it wasn't in the original script.

Eiza González's 2024 movie The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare contains a scene that points toward what her next project should be, and it's frankly shocking that the actress has barely dabbled in this genre. The spy action comedy, directed by Guy Ritchie, draws inspiration from Damien Lewis' 2014 novel Churchill's Secret Warriors: The Explosive True Story of the Special Forces Desperadoes of WWII. The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare depicts a fictionalized version of Operation Postmaster — a World War II operation by the British's Small Scale Raiding Force (SSRF) and the Special Operations Executive (SOE).

González stars as Marjorie Stewart in the cast of The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, alongside Henry Cavill as Gus March-Phillipps, Alan Ritchson as Anders Lassen, Henry Golding as Freddy Alvarez, Alex Pettyfer as Geoffrey Appleyard, Hero Fiennes Tiffin as Henry Hayes, Babs Olusanmokun as Mr. Heron, and Cary Elwes as Brigadier Gubbins. Marjorie is an SOE agent in the 2024 spy action comedy, and in real life, she ended up marrying Gus. However, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare excluded Cavill and González's characters' romance from the story.

The Ministry Of Ungentlemanly Warfare Proves Eiza González Needs To Make A Musical Next

During one scene, Eiza González expertly sings in character as Majorie Stewart in The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, indicating that the actress should star in a musical next. Even more impressive is the fact that González learned how to sing in German for the scene, which wasn't originally in the script. According to an interview that González did with Entertainment Tonight, director Guy Ritchie impulsively decided to incorporate the singing moment in The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare when he learned that she could sing. The actress explained:

"I remember thinking [Guy Ritchie] really develops personality on films, and I never knew if it was the actors, him, or what it was. And when we got the script, I mean, the role was this small, like, if you saw the script and the lines, and he just started saying like, 'Oh can you sing, oh amazing, let's write a scene in this you can sing and let's do it in German and do you speak Italian, do you speak French, Babs [Olusanmokun] amazing let's showcase you' and he just wants to showcase you so that's why like I couldn't stop working with him."

Based on the scene in The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, it's obvious that González is a talented singer and would make a great addition to any musical film. Surprisingly, the actress has never appeared in a musical (unless counting her brief cameo as Jetta, a member of the Misfits, in Jem and the Holograms). Hopefully, González decides to broaden her horizons and accept a role in a musical as one of her next projects because the world needs to see more of her singing.

The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare proves that González should return to her roots and have her career come full circle by starring in a musical.

Given that she is mostly known for her movie roles, many might not be aware that Eiza González is a professional singer who released two studio albums before her acting career took off. González signed a deal with EMI Televisa Music in 2008, and she dropped her first album, Contracorriente, in 2009. She followed it up with Te Acordarás de Mí in 2012, before González decided to focus solely on acting. Nevertheless, Guy Ritchie's movie The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare proves that González should return to her roots and have her career come full circle by starring in a musical.
