A day after Henry Cavill shared that he was hanging up his Superman cape for good, The Hollywood Reporter shared with readers his next career move. According to the publication, Amazon is in the process of acquiring the rights to “Warhammer 40,000”: a sci-fi war game that’s played on a tabletop with miniatures. Cavill is reportedly lined up to star and executive produce the adaptation so long as nothing falls through at the last minute. While the sentiment is often thrown around a lot in the world of entertainment, Cavill is undoubtedly the perfect person to stand at the forefront of such a production.
Among his many nerdy interests, Cavill is a huge fan of the “Warhammer 40K” game — so much so that he’s even cast doubt on the idea that it can be adapted to screen properly. “It needs to be handled perfectly. It needs to be handled to a ‘Lord Of The Rings’ level. And if it’s not, I’ll be massively disappointed,” he told Empire in an exclusive interview, though that doesn’t mean he’d turn down a chance to star in an adaptation. He adds, “I would absolutely leap at that opportunity — it’s something I’d be very, very excited to do.” It’s amazing that roughly a year after this interview was published, his wish seems to have been granted.
Evidently, the “Warhammer 40K” adaptation is still very early along in the production process, and the minds behind it should take their time. After all, with Henry Cavill of all people on board, they pretty much have to get it right.
