Cavill, who is a fan of the fantasy genre and has previously starred in Netflix’s The Witcher, will also serve as an executive producer on the series and will bring his knowledge of the Warhammer lore to the production.
Cavill expressed his excitement at the opportunity, saying, “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 honor and the responsibility.” This news comes just a day after Cavill announced that he would not be returning as Superman in the DC Universe.

Warhammer is a well-known tabletop strategy game that has also made its mark in the video game world, with numerous releases over the past three decades.
Amazon recently struck a deal with the franchise’s owner, Games Workshop, to produce a TV series and films based on Warhammer.
This move is in line with Amazon’s efforts to secure film and TV rights to popular gaming franchises, as the company has previously secured deals to produce shows based on the Fallout and God of War series.
Amazon is also expanding its presence in the gaming industry, as the company recently announced its plans to publish and provide full support to developer Crystal Dynamics for a Tomb Raider game, which will feature “narrative-driven adventure” and “mind-bending puzzles” for players to enjoy. The Tomb Raider series, featuring protagonist Lara Croft, was first introduced in 1996 and the latest instalment, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, was released in 2018.
