After the disappointment of The Witcher, Henry Cavill prepares to fulfill his childhood dream. The English actor will not participate in the filming of the fourth season of the Witcher’s adventures in the Netflix series.
Deep artistic disagreements with Lauren Schmidt Hisrich convinced him to drop the role of Geralt of Rivia, despite all the love he has for the fantasy saga and its video game adaptation.
His departure from the Witcher will at least allow him to fulfill his childhood dream. The former Superman translator is actually attached to a project to adapt the Warhammer 40K universe into a live-action series. Henry Cavill is indeed known for his love for the franchise of figures created by the British company Games Workshop.
Henry Cavill has a good story to share
After months of silence that had fans fearing the project would not move forward, the actor shared the happy news with his 27.5 million followers on Instagram. Last year allowed Henry Cavill and the teams at Games Workshop and Prime Video to reach an agreement to see this adaptation see the light of day.
Although we will have to wait a few more years before discovering the first Warhammer series on the Amazon platform, the English actor is already promising fans that the result will live up to expectations. It should be said that due to the status of the delegated producer, he will have a say in the main decisions:
“My incredible team and I, along with the brilliant minds at Games Workshop, were talking about the vastness and majesty of the Warhammer universe. We looked through an incredible character gallery and delved into a variety of artwork. Our combined efforts allowed us to find the perfect starting point for our world, which was then approved by Amazon and Those responsible for the games workshop, stay tuned, as more information will be coming over time!”
Henry Cavill will soon star in two highly anticipated films
The Warhammer 40,000 franchise began life in the late 1980s as a collection and painting of figures. Different scenarios allowed this fantasy-futuristic world to develop and gain popularity over time. Many spin-off novels, comics, and video games have spawned. An animated film titled Ultramarines was also released in 2010.
Before the first Warhammer 40K series airs, fans will be able to find Henry Cavill in Voltron (adapted from the animated series of the same name) and the upcoming Highlander. Earlier this year, the English actor signed on for a highly praised cameo in Deadpool & Wolverine.
The Warhammer 40K universe adaptation will soon be available exclusively on Prime Video.
