Henry Cavill has provided a brief but promising update on his upcoming Warhammer 40,000 project.

Since Henry Cavill’s controversial departure from the DCU, he has been attached to several highly ambitious projects.

One of them is the live-action adaptation of the beloved miniature wargame Warhammer 40,000.

In late 2022, Amazon Studios revealed that it has secured the rights to Warhammer 40k, and plans to start a “universe of Warhammer programming” with Henry Cavill producing and leading the project.

Recently, The Witcher star shared a brief but promising update on his Warhammer 40,000 project.

While speaking with Collider during a promotional event for his latest film Argylle, Henry Cavill expressed excitement about working on the project and shared an encouraging update on its status.

Henry Cavill said, “Warhammer is progressing very well. Big things are happening, and we are very excited.”

It remains unclear whether Henry Cavill’s Warhammer 40k project will kick off with a film or TV show.

Game Workshop, the studio behind the game, has hinted that the project may be developed in both.

Game Workshop said in a post –

“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.”

It is also yet to be seen who Henry Cavill might play within the Warhammer 40,000 Cinematic Universe.

Cavill has previously shown interest in portraying one of the Primarchs or Captain-Generals, who are high-ranking key characters from the Warhammer mythos.

Henry Cavill’s Warhammer 40,000 project is still in early development, so it might take a few years before we get updates on its release window.
