Ex-Witcher and Superman actor Henry Cavill announced on his social media that he would be helming the creation of Warhammer Cinematic Universe on Amazon. The British actor is known for his love for the Warhammer 40k games and universe, often quoting or mentioning the lore and the games in interviews.

Cavill shared the news on his social media saying:
“For 30 years I have dreamt of seeing a Warhammer universe in live action. 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. Partnering with Natalie Viscuso at Vertigo has been a blessing beyond words, without her we might not have found the perfect home at Amazon. And having a home like Amazon will give us the freedom to be true to the massive scope of Warhammer.To all of you Warhammer fans out there, I promise to respect this IP that we love. I promise to bring you something familiar. And I endeavour to bring you something fantastic that is, as of yet, unseen.
Our first steps are to find our Filmmaker/Creator/Writer. Watch this space, my friends.For The Emperor!”
There are no further announcements on the project, and Warhammer 40k fans have many questions and theories about the cinematic universe. The project is still in its very early stages, and more details will be revealed in the upcoming weeks.
