Henry Cavill will take the lead in Amazon’s ‘Warhammer 40,000′ project. Cavill shared an update about the series’ progress on his Instagram account.
Cavill wrote the following in an Instagram post:
To celebrate some ‘Warhammer’ news, I decided to make a pilgrimage to the very first place I bought Warhammer models over 30 years ago….the Little Shop, on my home island of Jersey!
My incredible team and I, alongside the brilliant minds at Games Workshop, have been working away in concept rooms, breaking down approaches to the enormity and magnificence of the ‘Warhammer’ world. 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. That starting place shall, for now, remain a secret. Watch this space, though—more to come in time!
The actor will not only star in but also produce the ‘Warhammer 40,000’ series for Amazon Studios across all of its productions, including film and television.
Deadline reported that, “The agreement encompasses rights to the universe across TV series, film, and likely games and animation.”
“’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.
Vertigo Entertainment will serve as executive producer alongside Games Workshop and Amazon Studios.
