It seems the actor will have some say in the direction of the whole franchise, with Games Workshop saying he is “bringing his lore expertise to the mantle of executive producer, and his sword arm to the starring role. The opportunity to shepherd this cinematic universe from its inception is quite the honour and the responsibility,” Cavill said in a statement. “I have loved Warhammer since I was a boy, making this moment truly special for me. The Hollywood Reporter piece mentioned a series, but Games Workshop said the deal encompasses film, TV, and more. No showrunner or writer is attached yet to the adaptation of the dark fantasy sci-fi setting of Games Workshop’s tabletop wargames. Cavill, a noted Warhammer fan, is set to star and serve as executive producer. But the world’s favorite nerdy beefcake does have a new project lined up: a Warhammer 40,000 adaptation with Amazon.Īfter an initial report from the Hollywood Reporter that Amazon was in the final stages of securing the rights, Games Workshop announced it had reached an agreement with the tech and entertainment giant to create Warhammer a 40K cinematic universe. After the actor’s recently touted return as Superman was ruled out this week by DC Studios boss James Gunn, speculation that Cavill might respond by un-retiring from the role of Geralt of Rivia in Netflix’s The Witcher has been squashed - it’s not happening.
