After two years of behind-the-scenes development, a TV series based on the Warhammer 40,000 games is now in the works, with Henry Cavill as the lead.

“My incredible team and I, alongside the brilliant minds at Games Workshop, have been working away in concept rooms, breaking down approaches to the enormity and magnificence of the Warhammer world,” Cavill wrote in an update on Instagram. “Together, we’ve been sifting through the plethora of incredible characters and pouring over old tomes and texts. Our combined efforts have led us to a fantastic place to start out Universe, which has been agreed upon by those up on hgh at both Amazon and Games Workshop. That starting place shall, for now, remain a secret. Watch this space, though – more to come in time!”

Amazon first acquired the rights to produce a Warhammer cinematic universe in December 2022. Cavill was immediately attached to the project, being a longtime fan of the series.

“I have loved Warhammer since I was a boy, making this moment truly special for me,” Cavill said when the partnership was first announced, per Deadline. “The opportunity to shepherd this cinematic universe from its inception is quite the honor and the responsibility.”

The Warhammer 40,000 world is set in the distant future with humanity on the cusp of glory or destruction. Traitors to the race, hostile aliens, and corrupt gods who wage an epic war to ensure their future threaten humanity. The lore of the Warhammer universe has been thoroughly revealed through official numerous novels, giving the series creators a vast library to base their series upon.

While the series will likely feature violence, with Cavill at the creative helm, it will likely be void of nudity and sex. The actor has previously stated that he hates how common adult scenes have become in today’s world, as they are rarely ever necessary for the plot.
