Yesterday, fans learned that Henry Cavill would no longer be DC’s Son of Krypton as James Gunn and Peter Safran are heading in a new creative direction. To the delight of many, Cavill has taken to Instagram today to announce that he is officially partnering with Amazon Studios to both executive produce and star in an adaption of the popular miniature tabletop wargame, Warhammer 40,000. The Hollywood Reporter noted that Amazon has now officially obtained the rights to this franchise.
Cavill posted a reel with the Warhammer logo appearing in a loop slowly to music:
“For 30 years I have dreamt of seeing a Warhammer universe in live action. Now, after 22 years of experience in this industry, I finally feel that I have the skill set and experience to guide a Warhammer Cinematic Universe into life. Partnering with Natalie Viscuso at Vertigo has been a blessing beyond words, without her we might not have found the perfect home at Amazon. And having a home like Amazon will give us the freedom to be true to the massive scope of Warhammer. To all of you Warhammer fans out there, I promise to respect this IP that we love. I promise to bring you something familiar. And I endeavor to bring you something fantastic that is, as of yet, unseen. Our first steps are to find our Filmmaker/Creator/Writer. Watch this space, my friends. For The Emperor!”
It is no secret that Cavill is a huge fan of Warhammer. His hobbies include both playing the game as well as painting its miniatures. He undoubtedly will play a role (all puns intended) in creating a unique universe with rich storylines and interesting characters while respecting the origins of the game. Stay tuned as this passion project of Cavill’s develops further.
