Henry Cavill's next acting stint REVEALED? 'Man of Steel' star attached to star in 'Warhammer 40,000' series for Amazon

Cavill is attached to star and executive produce the series as Amazon enters the finals round of talking for the game's rights, per The Hollywood Reporter. As of now, all the other information has been kept under wraps although it is being reported that Vertigo Entertainment will also be producing the show.

With its first edition released in 1987, ‘Warhammer 40,000’ has continued to be a force to be reckoned with in the gaming world. Set in the distant future, the human species is continuously troubled by hostile aliens and supernatural creatures. It is pretty similar to the renowned game ‘Dungeons & Dragons’ in which dice are involved to play. The game depicts a future where human scientific and social progress has ceased, and human civilization is in a state of total war with hostile alien races and occult forces.

It doesn’t come as a surprise that Cavill has been attached to star in a ‘Warhammer’ project because he is a fan of the miniature wargame. In February 2022, Games Workshop released a video on social media in which the superstar was seen enjoying his day at Warhammer World in the UK. On the other hand, in April 2022, he shared a short video of one of the characters of the game that he painted according to his choices of colors. He wrote that he “tried his hands” at numerous different paints and techniques before finally feeling that he was heading in the right direction.

If the deal is closed, Amazon would have a big responsibility to deliver a series that’s not just engaging, but massive in scale as well.
