Henry Cavill is a diehard fan of the Warhammer 40,000 franchise, and he’s been gearing up to bring it to our small screens. He recently shared an exciting update about the upcoming adaptation of the hit tabletop game, which is being developed by Amazon Prime Video.
The adaptation of Warhammer 40,000 has been in the works since December 2022, when the streamer initially acquired the global rights. Two years later, this project is yet to see the light of day, but it’s full steam ahead after Games Workshop agreed on “creative guidelines for the films and television series to be developed by Amazon.”
Cavill dropped some hints about the future of this project by sharing a photo in front of The Little Shop in Saint Helier, Jersey, where he bought his first Warhammer models as a child. He also revealed that he’s been working closely with the brilliant minds at Games Workshop, breaking down approaches to the Warhammer universe.
“Together, we’ve been sifting through the plethora of incredible characters and poring over old tomes and texts. Our combined efforts have led us to a fantastic place to start our Universe, which has been agreed upon by those up on high at both Amazon and Games Workshop,” wrote Cavill.
Warhammer 40,000 adaptation still doesn’t have a potential release date, and the production process “may take a number of years,” according to Games Workshop’s recent press release. Cavill has been tapped to executive produce this project, and Amazon is yet to lock down a potential showrunner.
