The director's latest dive into the world of the British aristocracy — also starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Anthony Hopkins — is now shooting

James Norton is to star in a new Guy Ritchie film about the British aristocracy called Wife And Dog. The Happy Valley star joined previously announced cast members Remains of the Day actor Anthony Hopkins, The Imitation Game actor Benedict Cumberbatch and Gone Gi rl actor Rosamund Pike.

Meanwhile, Jarvis became an overnight star for his role as John Blackthorne in the smash-hit period drama Shōgun, which saw an oblivious Englishman washed up on the shores of feudal Japan – just as the country teetered on the brink of war.

James Norton has joined the all-star cast for Wife & Dog, the new film from director Guy Ritchie. The star, known for his roles in Happy Valley and The Trial of Christine Keeler, is the latest big name to join the project, which sees the filmmaker "return to the colourful, back-stabbing world of the British aristocracy."

Wife & Dog, the next film from Guy Ritchie (The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare), has added four to round out its principal cast: Cosmo Jarvis (Shogun), James Norton (Bob Marley: One Love), Paddy Considine (House of the Dragon) and Pip Torrens (The Crown).

Joy' actor James Norton, 'House of the Dragon' star Paddy Considine, and The Crown's Pip Torrens have joined the cast of Guy Ritchie's new movie 'Wife and Dog', which will also feature Benedict Cumberbatch,
