Guy Ritchie casts Benedict Cumberbatch and Rosamund Pike in Wife & Dog

by

As an avid follower of Guy Ritchie’s illustrious career and his unique blend of humor, action, and British aristocracy, I find myself utterly thrilled by the news of his upcoming collaboration with Benedict Cumberbatch and Rosamund Pike in the film “Wife & Dog”. This prolific director, who seems to have mastered the art of juggling multiple projects at once, is indeed a marvel.

Renowned filmmaker Guy Ritchie is joining forces with two highly respected British actors to create an upcoming film, which delves into themes similar to those found in Netflix’s “The Gentlemen,” focusing on the intricacies of British nobility.

Actors Benedict Cumberbatch and Rosamund Pike are slated to star in “Wife & Dog,” a film scheduled for filming in February 2025, following the swift production style that director Guy Ritchie is known for.

At present, the director is juggling multiple projects, including an action-thriller titled “In the Grey,” another film named “Fountain of Youth” that falls under the heist adventure genre, and his ongoing work on the Young Sherlock Holmes series for Amazon Prime Video. His dedication is truly commendable.

The plot details for the movie are not provided, yet based on the description, there seems to be a hint of humor, which is characteristic of Richard’s (Ritchie) past works.

Black Bear Productions, known for films like Ritchie’s “The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare”, Pike’s “I Care a Lot”, and “The Imitation Game” with Cumberbatch, is set to release the film “Wife & Dog”.

In simpler terms, “Netflix’s The Gentlemen (2019) was a follow-up in spirit to Ritchie’s 2020 film with the same name. This version featured Theo James playing a nobleman who discovers his family’s fortune originates from an illicit marijuana business.

The show became incredibly popular upon its debut on the streaming service in March, yet it wasn’t until August that Netflix officially announced a second season – a delay that some attribute to the busy workloads of the creative team.

I’m thrilled to share that come next year, August specifically, we can anticipate the commencement of filming for season 2! Once again, the talented trio of James, Kaya Scodelario, and Daniel Ings will grace our screens as part of The Gentlemen cast. Can’t wait to see what adventures they have in store for us!

Now that “Wife & Dog” is scheduled for February, it’s likely that “The Gentlemen” will be pushed back further in director Guy Ritchie’s schedule. This suggests that there may not be any new episodes of the show until 2026.

The movie is part of Ritchie’s current trend of working with top-tier actors, such as Henry Cavill from Ungentlemanly Warfare, Natalie Portman in Fountain of Youth, Colin Firth on Young Sherlock, and Jake Gyllenhaal in In the Grey.
