DirectorGuy Ritchiehas quietly made himself quite the career over the last 2 decades in Hollywood. With such classic films asSnatchandLock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, the director has been a very influential part of modern action filmmaking. Coming off this year’s severely underrated heist movieWrath of ManstarringJason Statham, Ritchie is reteaming with the actor for the fifth time for next year’s spy filmOperation Fortune: Ruse de guerre, and we now have our first look at the movie courtesy of some new images.
The images showcase the film’s insanely talented cast, along with Statham, in an array of elaborate attires that invoke classic-feeling spy adventures with a Ritchie twist. The ensemble, which featuresJosh Hartnett,Hugh Grant,Cary Elwes, andAubrey Plaza, clearly knows how to strike a pose. Statham is not the only Ritchie regular here either, as Grant and Hartnett have also starred in previous films of the director’s.

However, the most interesting addition to the cast is Plaza, who is mainly known as a comedic actor for her work on such shows asParks and Recreation. She has branched out her career as of late with the 2019 remake ofChild’s Playbeing an example, but this film serves as her first real venture into the action spy genre.
Along with the new images, Ritchie himself released a new poster that catches your attention with its very striking blue and gold presentation. The cast simply pops in their over-the-top colorful costumes and scenes that tease the action of the upcoming spy thriller can be seen in the background filtered in a treasured gold.
Ever since his live-action remake of Disney’sAladdin, Ritchie has gone back to the unique fast-paced energy that made him a household name in the first place, and hopefully, this film continues his newfound return to form. Given that the script was written by Ritchie and long-time collaboratorsIvan AtkinsonandMarn Davies, all signs point to this being the case.
Operation Fortune: Ruse de guerrereleases in theaters in 2022. Check out more images and the official poster below:
