Henry Cavill has been enthusiastically preparing to work on an Amazon series based on Warhammer 40k, following his departure from the role of Geralt in The Witcher on Netflix. This shift, though controversial among fans, stems from his deep affection for the source material and a desire to make a substantial impact.

Late in the previous year, agreements between Games Workshop and Amazon solidified Cavill’s role, and he expressed his joy about being a producer. His recent interview with Esquire touches on his passion for watchmaking, intertwining it with his plans for the Warhammer adaptation.

Despite the interview’s focus on watches, Cavill drew comparisons between the craft and his work on Warhammer, stating, “What I was doing required finesse and concentration… it’s more difficult than my level of painting Warhammer.”

Cavill emphasized the challenge of bringing the complex narrative of Warhammer 40k to life, stating, “The challenges that come with putting this on the page in a way that does justice to that complexity, that trickiness, and that nuance, is a challenge I’m enjoying enormously.” He has repeatedly shown his dedication to Warhammer, highlighting that during his time on The Witcher, he remained deeply connected to the universe, even participating in its expansions.

His commitment to the project seems to promise a faithful and engaging adaptation that honors the fantastic elements fans adore.
