you will not see it in The Witcher, the popular Netflix series, after the premiere of the third season in the summer of 2023. It seems that he did not like Superman in the DC Universe either. But the unconditional fans of Henry Cavill –those who remain after having abandoned large projects– they can breathe easy. We will be able to see the actor in the project that Amazon, hand in hand with Game Workshop, has just signed. The objective will be to bring to Prime Video a series of films and series about the universe and the characters of Warhammer.
As he has advanced The Hollywood ReporterHenry Cavill himself will not only be the protagonist of one of the new series based on Warhammer. He will also be the executive producer of the new production that seems to be already in full development. Something that does not catch the actor new either. Already in the first steps of The Witcher, Cavill was part of the production team. As an unconditional fan of the games and books in the series, the actor did not want to miss the opportunity to be part of the decision-making team. Now history repeats itself. Cavill is a huge follower of the universe Warhammerespecially from the section of the figurines that the actor has recognized that he has been painting for years.
Returning to the agreement, and as it has been possible to know, Amazon would already be about to close the contract Game Workshop rights to the game. Some that would have been highly requested in recent months.
Henry Cavill made the difference in the deal Warhammer
It would have been the inclusion of Henry Cavill himself in the process, which would have tipped the balance on Prime Video’s side. Actor who, after leaving the leading role of The Witcher, it seemed that it was going to focus on the continuity of the Man of Steel under the DC factory. It was only a few days ago that it was known that the franchise directed by Peter Safran would continue with the character in some prequel projects, but that it would not do so at the hands of Henry Cavill. At least for now, since the producer pointed out that the future would tell if the actor would return to play the role of Superman.
How will the popular game of figurines adapt to Warhammer to the screen? It is a debate that has been on the table for some time. Especially because of the problems involved in taking the plot of a game to a real world and with a closed story. Likewise, it’s unclear what elements of the game will be brought to Prime Video screens, but Most likely, Game Workshop will maintain success of its spin-offs of music, books, board games, video games… Most likely it will focus on a main character focused on the general story developed 40,000 years from now facing aliens and a long series of fantasy creatures.
