Henry Cavill may no longer be Superman – or indeed Geralt – but he’s taking a key role, starring in and executive producing Amazon Studios’ adaptation of Games Workshop’s Warhammer 40,000.

“Warhammer 40,000 has captured the imagination of fans of all ages, from all walks of life, and all over the world,” Jennifer Salke, head of Amazon and MGM Studios explained. “We are excited to work with Henry, Vertigo Entertainment, and Games Workshop across our Amazon entertainment businesses on this brilliant, immersive franchise for our global customers to experience for years to come.”

“I have loved Warhammer since I was a boy, making this moment truly special for me. The opportunity to shepherd this cinematic universe from its inception is quite the honour and the responsibility,” said Cavill. “I couldn’t be more grateful for all the hard work put in by Vertigo, Amazon Studios and Games Workshop to make this happen. One step closer to making a nigh on lifelong dream come true.”

Amazon Studios have rights across TV and film, and, according to Deadline, probably animation and games as well.
