12/30/2023 0 Comments Warhammer news![]() A scenario where Amazon definitely messes up the Henry Cavill project presents itself, especially considering how vast and resourceful the Warhammer universe can be. ![]() Henry Cavill at the Warhammer World at NottinghamĪlso read: Henry Cavill Impressed Warhammer 40K Fans So Much They Immortalized Him With an Adeptus Custodes ‘Heinrich Cavillius’ Figurine: ‘His passion for the game is known to all’Īs such, those eagerly waiting for the Warhammer adaptation are simultaneously waiting for the other shoe to drop. Projects upon projects have adopted the same faulty formula of going off on their own tangents, completely disregarding the source texts/materials, and managing to ruin a perfectly well-developed storyline. Reaction to Amazon’s WCU Worsens With TimeĮven Henry Cavill’s involvement in the Warhammer Cinematic Universe as its executive producer hasn’t been enough to appease the fans whose expectations by now have been shredded to threadbare limits. The immediate question that follows in the aftermath of such an assumption is whether the upcoming major game-to-live-action adaptation of Warhammer 40K is safe in the hands of the studio. The new season of The Witcher hits Netflix this Friday.When Rings of Power managed to disappoint, it wasn’t long until the fans began to assume the poor and recklessly off-source execution of the Amazon series was a direct result of the streaming juggernaut’s desire for profitability over audience satisfaction. If I were to have the opportunity to show that as live action then I would be ecstatic!"įor the full, nerderific interview with Cavill, in which he discusses his love of fantasy novels, reveals his favourite chapter of Space Marines, and spends a not insignificant amount of time discussing his magnificent dog, Kal, listen to the new episode of The Pilot TV Podcast. There is so much stuff and that world is so rich, and that universe is so exciting. So there's a potential for a storyline there as well. I haven't played Age Of Sigmar, haven't got into that, but the books written about Sigmar were brilliant. I never had a chance to actually play with anyone, but I would get all the lore and learn all the rules. I was that guy who bought all of the Warhammer fantasy armies, books, and all of the codexes and would just read them. "Warhammer fantasy I enjoy because of the Total War games. But I would absolutely leap at that opportunity - it's something I'd be very, very excited to do."Īs you might expect form a man who currently makes his living slaying bruxas and kikimoras as Geralt of Rivia, Cavill may be a Warhammer 40,000 fan first and foremost, but the Witcher star also has time for Warhammer's more traditional fantasy flavour. "It seems a shame to be a mere Inquisitor. "I mean, I don't know about Eisenhorn necessarily, when you've got Valdor and Primarchs out there," he says, out-geeking Empire without even trying. Asked if he'd leap at the chance to be Eisenhorn, he's quick to demur. Which naturally brought talk around to which characters and games he'd want to play to appear in. And if it's not, I'll be massively disappointed." It needs to be handled to a Lord Of The Rings level. There haven't been just loads of TV shows and movies all done poorly. ![]() Talking about why there has yet to be a giant, good Warhammer 40k adaptation, Cavill's clear: "I think because Games Workshop have been very protective of their IP, and that's a great decision, and very wise. He's especially interested in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, full of space marines doing battle, and he has some specific adaptations in mind. ![]() He's back on our screens this week as Geralt of Rivia as The Witcher returns, but Henry Cavill, confirmed geek, also has his eye on other fantasy projects. ![]()
