Henry Cavill might be forever remembered as DC’s Superman and Netflix’s Geralt of Rivia. However, the actor has since left both those characters, and it seems he has moved on to better things.
Although his recent project turned out to be a box office flop, the actor seems to have his hopes up for his other upcoming projects. While the 40-year-old might have a couple of different films up his sleeve, the one people seem to be the most interested in is his Amazon collaboration for Warhammer 40K.
With rumors turning to facts about the Cavill project in the last few months, here is everything fans will need to know about the television series.
Everything you should know about Henry Cavill’s Warhammer 40K
In December 2022, it was announced that Henry Cavill would be taking the lead in an Amazon adaptation of Warhammer 40K stories. The series would be based on the war game developed by Games Workshop. The Man of Steel actor, who had voiced his love for video games many times before, would also produce it. While the news had excited fans, the studio has managed to keep any other cast details to themselves.
With the SAG-AFTRA strike taking over the world last year, many projects seemed to come to a halt. While fans might have been losing hope about the Amazon-Henry Cavill collaboration, another surprising update had popped up. Games Workshop kept the hype high by sharing the signed project agreement to prove that the Warhammer 40K was truly underway.
The post even announced that the next stage of creating the project would begin. However, no updates have come out since. So far, the studio and the actor have managed to keep all the other details rather close to their chests. Fans of the video game are looking forward to seeing what the team-up could bring, but there is no saying when it could finally be released.
When will Henry Cavill’s Warhammer 40k show be released?
After it was announced that Henry Cavill’s Warhammer 40k show would be moving to its development stage, fans have been counting down the days till the series finally releases. However, with no one cast yet, except for the 40-year-old, it looks like fans might have to wait till 2026 for the project to finally make its way online. It might be a long wait, but with the show being helmed by a lover of the video game, fans might get exactly what they were hoping for.
Although the hype for the show might die down with the wait, there is no doubt that Cavill and Amazon will keep fans on their toes till the show finally goes live. Just filling the cast alone might end up throwing fans for a spin once they start putting parts of the story together.
Just last month, Henry Cavill was keeping busy with his Argylle promotions. During an interview with Collider, the actor ended up discussing his highly anticipated project, Warhammer 40K. Although he did not give much away, the 40-year-old confirmed that there were “big things happening” with the project. He also opened up about how working on it was a “truly special” moment for the star.
After all, he had “loved” the game since he was only a child. Unlike his roles as Superman and Geralt in The Witcher, the actor admitted that he was grateful that he had “the opportunity to shepherd this cinematic universe from its inception.” Cavill added that it was “quite the honor and the responsibility.”
