Henry Cavill is set to star in and executive produce the adaptation of Games Workshop’s popular miniature table-top wargame, Warhammer 40,000.
“I have loved Warhammer since I was a boy, making this moment truly special for me. The opportunity to shepherd this cinematic universe from its inception is quite the honour and the responsibility.”
– Henry Cavill
On Friday, Games Workshop said it had “reached an agreement in principle” for Amazon to develop a movie and TV programme involving the Warhammer 40,000 universe.
The Warhammer deal is yet to be officially confirmed, the games company said that an official announcement will be made “in due course”.
On Thursday, Cavill confirmed he would not return as “Superman” in the DC universe, and in October he also stepped down as Geralt of Rivia in Netflix’s “The Witcher” series.
