Henry Cavill’s acting career has been quite loud lately, due to some controversial changes. Recently, fans of The Witcher learned that the actor will leave the set after season 3, and that he will not return to the role of Superman as a result of changes in the new head of DC Studios. New information suggests that Cavill will find a new foothold in the Warhammer 40K series that Amazon plans to tackle.
Perhaps in the future we will see a movie in the Warhammer 40K universe with the participation of Henry Cavill. Recently, the actor’s schedule has changed dramatically. With the release of Black Adam , it was confirmed (via a cameo) that Cavill would reprise his role as Superman in future DC productions. In addition, he left the set of The Witcher with a bang , and many suspected that this was done in order to concentrate on playing the superhero again. There was also talk of the actor’s dissatisfaction with the decision of the production team and screenwriters. Unfortunately, another superhero movie with Cavill can already be ruled out. The new DC Studios manager, James Gunn , has confirmed that he is writing a new Superman film , in which he will cast a new actor.The Cavill era seems to be over , leaving the movie star with no ‘stable’ role Henry can attach to for long.

Fans immediately started speculating about what Cavill’s next step in acting would be. Some immediately suggested adapting Warhammer to the screen, given that the actor, as an avid gamer, is a big fan of the franchise. As reported by The Hollywood Reporter , Amazon is now on the final stretch to secure all rights to Warhammer 40,000 . Once the deal is finalized, Henry Cavill is expected to become the show’s executive producer and headline star in a production about his beloved series. Although it sounds likely, these are still unofficial reports and fan discussions, so we still have to wait for official information.
Undoubtedly, Amazon has a lot of funds at its disposal and shows that it is not afraid of bold investments in its films and series. Time will tell whether this approach will bring beneficial results. The company has also recently been working on the adaptation of God of War , which means that it has focused on expanding well-known gaming franchises with interesting series and/or movies.
