Amazon Studios has officially confirmed that they have the global rights to create the Warhammer 40K cinematic universe , with Henry Cavill as executive producer and the main character in the new series from the cult sci-fi.
Henry Cavill commented on Instagram about Amazon buying the rights to Warhammer 40,000 .
Now, after 22 years in the industry, I finally feel I have the skills and experience to bring the Warhammer cinematic universe to life. Working with Natalie Viscuso at Vertigo has been a blessing beyond words, without her we might not have found our place at Amazon. Having a home like Amazon will give us the freedom to be true to Warhammer ‘s vast horizons . To all of you Warhammer fans , I promise to respect this universe we love. I promise to bring you something familiar. I am trying to give you something fantastic that has not been seen before.

The Warhammer 40K universe offers plenty of opportunities for Amazon as it is a world made up of countless characters, factions and locations. While Warhammer is now an almost bottomless well of knowledge to tap into, Games Workshop has proven that it can also be the source of a variety of stories, from street crime dramas to epic space operas featuring undead psychic emperors and literally Chaos Gods. One thing to watch out for in the world Warhammer 40,000is that its dark nature is satirical in nature and is deliberately designed so that there are no ‘good guys’. While there are noble characters, each faction is corrupt and evil to some extent, fueling an endless cycle of wars and stagnation where common people are merely a resource to be managed for the benefit of the faction.
