After a great deal of conversation in social due Henry Cavill losing the role of Geralt Of Rivia in the Netflix adaptation of the book series The Witcher and DCEU’s Superman, there was a strong rumor that a Warhammer 40K TV Series was in talks with Amazon Prime as the platform and have the actor involved.

For the first project, the TV Series, Henry Cavill will not only serve as the main protagonist, but also will be an executive producer and his involvement is due being a fan of the miniature tabletop and turned gaming franchise. “I have loved Warhammer since I was a boy, making this moment truly special for me.

Of course, it is just going to be a while when Amazon announces when the TV Series is ready to be included as part of the exclusives that have been given to Amazon Prime Video and let’s hope we are not years away.
