Is Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare Connected to The Gentlemen Universe?

One of the latest obsessions of viewers around the world is Guy Ritchie 's “gentlemen” universe. Starting with 2019's The Gentlemen, and of course the new series of the same name that was released on Netflix in 2024, the stories of morally ambiguous men in nice suits drive the audience crazy.

However, it seems that these two projects weren’t enough for the director, so he decided to create another flick with a gentleman-esque vibe in the title. We are talking about the 2024 movie called The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare.

The first question that comes to the minds of all potential viewers was whether the movie is in any way connected to the already existing universe of The Gentlemen? All three installments were created by the British director Guy Ritchie, but if the two previous Gentlemen share “one DNA,” the new movie is not quite their buddy.

Is The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare Based on a True Story?

Set during World War II, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare does indeed take inspiration from a true story about a secret British organization; the Special Operations Executive.

Founded by Winston Churchill, their irregular warfare against the Germans helped change the course of the war and gave birth to modern black ops.

The newest movie has zero connection to The Gentlemen film and TV show.

How Is The Gentlemen TV Show Connected to the 2019 Movie?

The Gentlemen movie and TV series are nominally set in a shared universe. Still, you don’t necessarily need to watch the movie before starting the show, even though the TV series does include some nods to the 2019 film.

“I watched the movie yesterday and was completely blown away with it. The premise, the cinematography, the actors and acting was superlative to say the least. I then started binging on the show albeit with less expectations since it does not feature any of the major stars from the movie. However I must say the show so far is equally good. Typical Guy Ritchie direction with slick screenplay & humor,” Redditor sneakingtom27 said.

So, if you want to check out the new movie – you can buy The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare on Apple TV and Amazon Video. And both The Gentlemen movie and TV series are available to stream on Netflix.
