Guy Ritchie Assembles Benedict Cumberbatch And Rosamund Pike With THIS Oscar Winner For His Next Film Wife & Dog

As a die-hard fan of Guy Ritchie’s cinematic masterpieces, I can hardly contain my excitement for his upcoming film, Wife & Dog. The man is a genius when it comes to weaving tales of backstabbing, intrigue, and humor in the world of the British upper classes – a world I feel I know quite intimately after years of binge-watching British soap operas!


Director Guy Ritchie is gearing up to release another highly anticipated production. His upcoming film titled “Wife & Dog” boasts an impressive ensemble of A-list actors. According to recent news, Benedict Cumberbatch and Rosamund Pike are set to star in the movie directed by Ritchie.

Moreover, the already intriguing cast will be joined by a legendary actor, Anthony Hopkins. 

Back in May, Variety unveiled the impressive ensemble for the upcoming film, “Wife & Dog.” As of now, details about its plot are being tightly guarded. Nevertheless, I’m thrilled to share that this project marks Ritchie’s return to the genre he excels at on screen—a genre that I’ve admired him for representing so brilliantly.

In a new take, the director of The Wrath of Man plans to depict the treacherous landscape among the elite British society, subtly referencing some themes from his more recent works like The Gentleman.

Based on Variety’s report, the script was penned by the director of “The Man from U.N.C.L.E.”, who will collaborate with his frequent producing partner, Ivan Atkinson, in the production process as well.

For those unfamiliar, they’ve worked together before, notably on “The Gentlemen” and also on the 2021 film featuring Jason Statham, titled “Wrath of Man”.

John Friedberg from Black Bear Productions is set to collaborate with Ritchie and Atkinson on their upcoming project, serving as the producer.

In the meantime, Teddy Schwarzman and Michael Heimler are set to serve as executive producers on the show titled “Wife & Dog,” under Black Bear Productions.

The movie’s sales were already launched by Black Bear at this year’s Cannes Film Festival. 

In a new collaboration, Wife and Pet dog will join forces with Guy Ritchie and Atkinson, continuing their successful partnership that began during the production of The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare and In the Grey. They’re eager to build on the success they enjoyed while working together in another film featuring an impressive ensemble cast.

Per reports, Wife & dog will begin with its principal photography in February 2025 in the UK. 

The outlet also mentioned that Black Bear’s latest collection at the American Film Market featured Wife & Dog, alongside other top-tier films like Hammer Down starring Idris Elba and Pendulum with Joseph Gordon-Levitt in the main role.

The list encompasses David Michôd’s as-yet-unnamed Christy Martin film, starring Sydney Sweeney as the boxing champion Christy Martin, as well as Spa Weekend featuring Leslie Mann and Isla Fisher, Leo Woodall, and Dustin Hoffman in a heist thriller titled Tuner. There are more titles on this list too.
