Cavill had this to say about the project: "I have loved Warhammer since I was a boy, making this moment truly special for me. The opportunity to shepherd this cinematic universe from its inception is quite the honor and the responsibility. I couldn’t be more grateful for all the hard work put in by Vertigo, Amazon Studios and Games Workshop to make this happen. One step closer to making a nigh on lifelong dream come true.".
"Warhammer 40K" is set in the far future, where humanity stands at the edge of what might be its brightest future, or its darkest age. The threats to humankind's empire are many: traitors driven by the fires of ambition, alien empires sworn to reclaim the stars and the corruption of reality by malevolent gods.
Jennifer Salke, head of Amazon and MGM Studios, said the following: "Warhammer 40,000 has captured the imagination of fans of all ages, from all walks of life, and all over the world. We are excited to work with Henry, Vertigo Entertainment, and Games Workshop across our Amazon entertainment businesses on this brilliant, immersive franchise for our global customers to experience for years to come.".
Vertigo Entertainment's Roy Lee and Natalie Viscuso partnered with Cavill to secure the "Warhammer 40K" IP before taking it to Amazon Studios. Vertigo will executive produce with Cavill and Games Workshop's Andy Smillie and Max Bottrill alongside Amazon Studios.
Cavill can next be seen in Matthew Vaughn's spy thriller "Argylle", the upcoming "Highlander" reboot, Guy Ritchie's "The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare", and the third season of "The Witcher".
