Wow, an unexpected and very interesting development. Thanks for the news Hun!

Shame he's not a fan of REH's Conan.

He's spoken about his love of Warhammer before on Graham Norton:

Looks like Cavill's studio executive girlfriend has his back, too, and is helping him develop the series. Always a good thing.

Some theories on who Cavill could play:

Looks like this whole project might not be a 100% done deal yet. Apparently Games Workshop hasn't agreed to anything yet.

Thanks for the updates Jason.

Wow, he really sounds like he knows this stuff.

A YouTube video with some more theories on where the series/film could start. It also serves as a decent intro into the plot of the 40K universe.

So far haven't heard a whole lot about this from official sources. I hope this is one project that doesn't suffer due to the writers/actors strike.

I have to admit, the CGI in the below video looks pretty impressive. It must be from some modern video games, I'm guessing.

Thanks for the vid Jason.

There have been a huge number of games based on the Warhammer franchise both 40k and Fantasy and many if not most often had great fmv sequences which were leading edge graphically for the time they were made. You can find stacks of cutscenes on youtube from the games if you're interested.

Cool, I'll have to dig some up. I have to admit I'm not familiar with 40k overall, but that video above seems like a good intro.

I've heard good things about Warhammer 40K: Fire Warrior for PS2, but never played it. But I imagine there have been good games since then, too.

Here's a clip collection of the times Cavill has talked about 40K. It sounds like the hardest decision he'll have to make is who to play.

Thanks Jason - Cavill's great. He plays Total War too, didn't know that before watching this.

Regarding 40k character - he's got a difficult choice ahead of him that's for sure!

Update:

Henry Cavill's Warhammer 40,000 cinematic universe is now 'properly rolling' as Games Workshop finalizes deal with Amazon Studios

Games Workshop announced today that the "full agreement" with Amazon Studios has been signed, and now it's time to move on to the next part: Specifically, "working out all the creative details with our partners and getting the first script written and into production.""All we can tell you right now is that an elite band of screenwriters, each with their own particular passion for Warhammer, is being assembled to help bring the setting and characters you love to the screen. This illustrious group will be championed by Henry Cavill, who stands ready to take his place as executive producer—bringing his pen, sword and/or spear to the project."

Thanks for posting that Von K. That actually sounds almost too good to be true from a creative standpoint.

Looking good so far. The sobering part is that it typically takes 2-3 years from this point to hit the screen/streaming. Long wait. I guess Henry Cavill will have a release period in his contract to film Highlander.
