As with Henry Cavill, as one door closes, another one opens. The British actor recently announced his affiliation with the “Warhammer” realm on Instagram.
“For 30 years I have dreamt of seeing a Warhammer universe in live action. Now, after 22 years of experience in this industry, I finally feel that I have the skill set and experience to guide a Warhammer Cinematic Universe into life,” the 39-year-old wrote.
“Partnering with Natalie Viscuso at Vertigo has been a blessing beyond words, without her we might not have found the perfect home at Amazon. And having a home like Amazon will give us the freedom to be true to the massive scope of Warhammer,” he added.
A US-based entertainment outlet reported that the actor who played Enola Holmes would executive-produce a series adaption of the well-known science fiction fantasy miniature war game.
Along with Amazon Studios, Andy Smillie and Max Boxtrill of GAW are additional executive producers. There are currently no authors or filmmakers connected to the project.
“It’s great news and we’re absolutely thrilled; we’re working with a fantastic triumvirate in Henry, Vertigo, and Amazon. Henry’s well-known love of Warhammer 40,000–and his passion as a world-builder and storyteller–will serve us all well in the coming years.”
“Finally, Warhammer will make it to the screen as the fans have hoped, and as they deserve. Exciting times!” the report quoted.
The original game takes place 40,000 years in the future, when human civilization has stalled due to an unending conflict with aliens and supernatural beings.
