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.” With the Warhammer 40K project still in the early stages of development, it won’t be Cavill’s next role, but the actor still has a few other irons in the fire, including a Highlander reboot and two spy films: Argylle, with Kingsman director Matthew Vaughn, and The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, directed by Guy Ritchie. “I don’t often feel at home, but I did that day,” Cavill said, enthusing about the discussions he’d had on Warhammer lore and miniature design with the Games Workshop team. 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.” But the world’s favorite nerdy beefcake does have a new project lined up: a [Warhammer 40,000](https://www.polygon.com/warhammer-40k) adaptation with Amazon.

This may be a while off still, as it sounds like the earliest stages of this project, but no doubt Cavill will do whatever he has to in order to make it happen. “I couldn’t be more grateful for all the hard work put in by Vertigo, Amazon and Games Workshop to make this happen. That may sound random to you, or like some sort of downgrade, but if you know Henry Cavill, you also know that he is a giant nerd, which I mean as a compliment. It has been a wild couple of weeks for Henry Cavill, who went from playing two heroic roles that everyone thought he was perfect for, Superman and Geralt of Rivia, to neither of those. Now, there’s no Superman, so he’s free for Warhammer in full, and I guess maybe another Enola Holmes sequel or two. But as it turns out, The Rock, despite his best efforts, does not control the DC Universe.

“We are excited to work with Henry, Vertigo Entertainment, and Games Workshop across our Amazon entertainment businesses on this brilliant, immersive franchise for our global customers to experience for years to come.” Vertigo Entertainment’s Roy Lee and Natalie Viscuso worked with Cavill to obtain the “Warhammer 40,000” IP before taking it to Amazon Studios. “‘Warhammer 40,000’ is set in the far future, where humanity stands at the edge of what might be its brightest future, or its darkest age.

Henry Cavill has confirmed his involvement in the creation of a Warhammer Cinematic Universe – days after announcing he will not be returning as Superman.

And I endeavour to bring you something fantastic that is, as of yet, unseen. I promise to bring you something familiar. The British actor, who will reportedly both star in and executive produce a launch series, said he had “dreamt” for 30 years of seeing the tabletop wargame franchise in “live action”.

The former Superman star has secured another leading role in a beloved fantasy gaming franchise, having previously appeared in Netflix's The Witcher.

Cavill said his Warhammer role was "a nigh-on lifelong dream come true". Amazon said it would be publishing the next game and providing "full support" to developer Crystal Dynamics on a "narrative-driven adventure" filled with "mind-bending puzzles to solve" and plenty of enemies to face. Henry Cavill will star in a new Warhammer series after Amazon struck a deal to bring the hit gaming franchise to TV and film.
