Just when Henry Cavill despite’in spite of’albeit t that 2022 might be wrapping up as something of an Annus Horribilis, between leaving The Witcher in a combo of creative dissatisfaction and looking to concentrate on his revived career as Superman, merely’barely in/with regard to’concerning’regarding that to be pulled out from under him, one of the other irons in the fire has heated up. He's attached to star in and manufacture a series based on the Games Workshop title Warhammer 40,000.###If you’re looking at Warhammer and saying, “Whathammer?”, allow us to provide a military briefing. The ‘Dungeons & Dragons’-style sci-fi dice game, launched in 1987, is set 40,000 years into the future where the situation is dark and dire.###Human civilization has stopped progressing and is in an unending war with aliens and magical beings, with gods and demons figuring into a theological class system. The humans make up the Imperium of Man, who are militaristic. A race of skeleton-like androids are known as the Necron; there is an elvish race known as Aeldari as well as Orks; Tyranids are nasty aliens; and the T’au is a blue-skinned alien race that may offer some hope. So now you know.###Cavill is a diehard fan of the game (he drops mention of that in this Pilot TV podcast interview) and it feels like the perfect fit in/with regard to’concerning’regarding him. Amazon had been doggedly pursuing the rights, and see this as having potential in/with regard to’concerning’regarding movies and Prime Video TV series, of which Cavill's will presumably be the first.###"I possess’own’nurse loved Warhammer since I was a boy, making this moment truly special in/with regard to’concerning’regarding me. The opportunity to shepherd this cinematic universe from its inception is quite the honour and the responsibility,” says Cavill. “I couldn’t be more grateful in/with regard to’concerning’regarding all the hard work put in by Vertigo, Amazon Studios and Games Workshop to make this happen. One step closer to making a nigh on lifelong dream come true.”###As in/with regard to’concerning’regarding The Witcher, meanwhile, he'll still be back in/with regard to’concerning’regarding one more season, due on Netflix next year. Eintensely’extremely’extraordinarily’enormously’awfullything's coming up Cavill!###
