Guy Ritchie's latest movie, The Gentlemen, has an awesome Easter egg for his 2015 film The Man From UNCLE, which has earned a dedicated fan following in the years since its release. Ritchie directed and co-wrote The Man From UNCLE, starring Henry Cavill and Armie Hammer as American and Russian spies, respectively, who were forced to team up in order to help protect an asset played by Alicia Vikander. Though The Man From UNCLE reviews were middling-to-positive, the film had a weak box office run, only earning $107 million.

However, the film has since had a resurgence in popularity through streaming and cable, and these fans have been calling for a Man From Uncle sequel for years. In 2017, Hammer revealed a script for The Man From UNCLE 2 was in the works from Ritchie's co-writer Lionel Wigram. That same year, while promoting his film King Arthur: Legend of the Sword, Ritchie did a few interviews in which he was asked about a possible Man From UNCLE sequel, and he expressed his surprise each time that fans were interested in another film considering the lackluster response when the first movie hit theaters. Now, with the release of The Gentlemen, it appears Ritchie has finally accepted The Man From UNCLE has its fans - and he gives them a nod by way of an Easter egg for the his 2015 film.

Until Ritchie explains the Man From UNCLE Easter egg in The Gentlemen, fans are free to speculate on what it means. Perhaps it's simply a nod to all the fans who have been asking him for a sequel in recent years, an acknowledgement that The Man From UNCLE has a more dedicated fan base than he originally knew. Or perhaps it's an indication he's actively working on a sequel.

  1. Star Trek the Motion Picture also received poor reviews and the Wrath of Kahn renewed an interest in the franchise. The man From U.N.C.L.E. was so poorly done a sequel can only be an improvement. However, the story and characters must return to the series which made popular to begin with. A secret international organization following it's top agents fighting to maintain law and order.
    Guy Ritchie's big mistake was using a totally unrelated story and stealing the names of the characters from the series. To be honest I'm surprised he didn't use the names April dancer and Mark Slate as well. The only reference to U.N.C.L.E. was in Code Name : uncle or was it Operation : uncle in reference to getting information from the girl's uncle. What a disappointment.
