Jake Gyllenhaal and Henry Cavill play cool killers led by minder Eiza González in the official trailer for In The Grey, which dropped on Monday.
Guy Ritchie’s long-awaited action thriller sees Gyllenhaal play Bronco and Cavill is Sid, both members of a “covert team of elite operatives” out to recover a billion dollar fortune stolen by a ruthless despot. “They work between the moral and the immoral. The black and the white … They operate in the grey,” González’s character Sophia says at one point in the trailer.
Bronco and Sid also make use of automatic weapons and explosives to pull off their covert heist at the villainous despot’s lair, a private island with its own militia. Cavill also starred in Ritchie’s The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare. “What begins as an impossible heist gets much worse, spiraling into an all-out war of strategy, deception and survival,” a synopsis from the producers reads.
The ensemble cast for In The Grey includes Kristofer Hivju, Emmett J. Scanlan, Jason Wong, Michael Vu, Fisher Stevens, Rosamund Pike and Carlos Bardem. Black Bear will now release the thriller in theaters on May 15 after earlier striking a collaboration with Lionsgate.
That followed the studio pulling the film, written and directed by Ritchie, from an earlier planned Jan. 17, 2025 rollout. After Black Bear launched its own U.S. distribution operation, the indie studio and distributor stepped in to release In The Grey. The collaboration with Black Bear also has Lionsgate handling the film’s digital and pay-TV distribution.
The producer credits on In The Grey are shared by John Friedberg, Dave Caplan, Ritchie and Ivan Atkinson.
