Henry Cavill to star in Warhammer

screen adaptation. I said half serious weeks ago that this would be where I want to see him in his next job, and what do you know, it is happening. For those who don’t know Warhammer, it may be the largest sci-fi world ever created, and is dark and epic. I’d be excited for just a warhammer movie, or show, but having Henry Cavill is the icing on the cake. He’s a huge fan of the serious. Oh it being produced by Amazon too, so it’s going to be hella funded.

Unfortunately, it’s not letting me post the link, but it’s an easy google search if anyone wants confirmation.

Uh, Warhammer 40000 sure.

Warhammer, and the later Warhammer: Age of Sigmar is 100% fantasy.

You’re right, i guess it’s fantasy/sci-fi.

…There’s a warhammer show/movie coming out?

Yep, amazon is buying the rights, Cavill posted about it.

If they stick to the Warhammer races etc, I can 100% see Cavill as Bretonnian.

What is a warhammer

I am a baby when it comes to warhammer, I’ve only dabbled in the Horus heresy, and watched people play the game, I unsuccessfully tried to paint some figures, I own a few of the games, but I love the world, its one of the coolest worlds ever built imo, but Bretonnia, or he can honestly play a lot of people, he has the perfect build for a space marine.

Just don’t let it be on Netflix. They screw everything up.

Or Amazon.

Interestingly enough you can thank Warhammer Online for achievements in WoW.

It’s Amazon, but knowing Cavill, he wouldn’t take the job if it wasn’t going to be true to the source material. I don’t like Amazon either, but hopefully it’s just them giving them money and staying out of it. I mean I disliked Rings of Power, but the post production was top notch.

You’re either trolling or misinformed.

Warhammer has been around far longer than Warcraft was even a twinkle in Blizzard’s eye. In fact, Blizz got in trouble for the obvious rip off of the Tyranid when they created the Zerg.

Far more likely to be Warhammer Fantasy, given the budget that’d be required for a 40k adaption. I know it’s Netflix, but hell - imagine the CGI etc required.

maybe… i mean achievements really blew up on xbox so i think they are to blame/thank

I’m referring to the MMO warhammer… you may not have been in the MMO scene when it was around… but every new MMO coming out was going to the new wow killer… just trolling a little bit for those who remembered that game

It’s what Warcraft was going to be until Blizzard couldn’t get the licensing deal to go through.

Ug. They are going to try and brighten it up and shoe horn a love triangle while claiming they spent a billion dollars on it while it will look like a generic fantasy show.

I have zero faith in Amazon produced IPs.

Oh right, my mistake. Apologies.

I do remember Warhammer online just never played it.
