After the Superman upset this week, Henry Cavill is setting his sights on Warhammer40k.
When one door closes, another one opens. After a week of, let's be honest, heartbreak for Henry Cavill following the crushing loss of his dream role as Superman, and his slightly acrimonious departure from his part as Geralt of Rivia in the Netflix series, The Witcher, it seemed as if luck wasn't on the poor fella's side. Worry not, however, folks.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY As revealed on the Warhammer community website, the company released a statement regarding the deal, saying, “This is the first deal of its kind for Amazon Studios for IP of this scale, and it allows the company to utilize the title across its entertainment businesses. Henry Cavill is set to star in and executive produce the Warhammer 40,000 franchise across all Amazon Studios productions.
Cavill is a perfect fit for this role, arguably as much as he ever was for Geralt or Kal-El. As a noted, and proud, nerd and gamer, with a particular obsession for role-playing games and a love of building PCs, it seems an ideal marriage. The man spent lockdown painting Warhammer figurines, for goodness sake.In a statement, Cavill added, “I have loved Warhammer since I was boy, making this moment truly special for me.
Warhammer 40,000 shares similarities with other RPGs like Dungeons and Dragons—dice are involved, for example - but the difference to many other RPGs is the beautifully constructed miniatures . The game's setting is 40,000 years in the future where things have gone quite bad for humanity, to be blunt. There is a never-ending war featuring aliens, gods, demons and magic.
It is pure fantasy, and right now, it's the exact sort of escape that Cavill deserves. Check out our interview the Cavill below:
