Games Workshop has officially announced that Henry Cavill will be both an executive producer and actor in upcoming Warhammer 40K TV shows and movies for Amazon. The company's statement on December 18th confirmed that the full agreement has been signed and the next stage of production can now commence.
Cavill has been confirmed to be involved in the project for some time, and is now officially listed as an executive producer. He will also be appearing in the TV shows and films. This is thrilling news for fans of both Cavill and Warhammer 40K, a franchise that includes books, video games, and a popular tabletop miniature strategy game.
Henry Cavill's passion for Warhammer 40K and its universe is well known among fans, adding to his already established nerd credentials. From his portrayal as Superman to his role as Geralt of Rivia in The Witcher franchise, Cavill's love for the world of fantasy and sci-fi is evident.
Additionally, his enthusiasm for Warhammer 40k is widely known - he has showcased his own painted armies for the tabletop game on social media and even visited Warhammer HQ. His reputation for staying true to the source material of the games and media he adores is also well-established, with such principles leading to his departure from The Witcher last year.
The 40K franchise appears to be in capable hands, and with contracts signed, fans have reason to rejoice. However, Games Workshop cautioned fans not to expect quick results, stating, "TV and Film production is a huge endeavor. It often takes two to three years before a project materializes on screen."
But with the projects now officially green-lit, it will be worth keeping an eye out for further updates.
