With Video Game adaptations aiming to be the next big thing in Showbiz following the success of projects like The Last of Us, Super Mario Bros, etc, Amazon is too tuning in with the trend. After Henry Cavill’s heartbreaking exit from the helms of The Witcher and the DC universe as Superman, it didn’t take long before he announced his next big thing down the line.
Being an avid gamer, it’s no surprise that Cavill is adamant about adapting some beloved gaming IPs and doing them justice, and the announcement of the Warhammer 40k show has left fans enticed.
Henry Cavill’s Warhammer 40k adaptation appears promising
Following the tumultuous months that DC found itself before James Gunn landed the keys to it, one of the biggest surprises that arrived with the new regime was the axing of Henry Cavill‘s Superman. And adding insult to injury, the actor also parted ways with Netflix’s The Witcher, leaving fans extremely disheartened. However, fans once again found something to smile for, as the Man of Steel star is set to bring the Warhammer 40k IP to Amazon. Not only Cavill will star in the upcoming TV series, but he will also produce, ensuring the adaptation will stay true to its Source material.
Popular Twitch star Zack Asmongold also shared his support for the upcoming show, expressing how excited he is for the whole thing, stating,
“I think that the one thing that we can guarantee is that if it’s in the lore, it’s probably going to be in the show. Yeah, I’m excited man!”
Tuning in with the Twitch streamer, fans haven’t also backed away from showcasing their love for the upcoming show, following Cavill’s passion for the project.
Fans are assured Henry Cavill is the best man for this job
It’s a well-known fact that Henry Cavill is adamant about staying true to the Source material for the project he is involved in, and in most cases, he doesn’t enjoy the original material being disrespected. And following the actor’s passion for the Warhammer 40k game, fans are assured that he is the right man to bring this popular IP to live-action. Some fan responses read,
“Henry better be on the hiring team for the writers, so any writer that says ‘we want to explore our vision of the Warhammer universe’ is given a swift kick out the door.”
“If Henry Cavill can actually do glory to the IP without producers or Amazon itself inputting their own bs, ill be happy”.
“I’ve had mad respect for Cavill ever since he publicly defended fans against being called ‘toxic.’ He called them “passionate,” and then justified their passion. One of us, indeed.”
Although time will tell whether this will be the next big addition to Henry Cavill’s illustrious resume, it’s reasonable to be optimistic about the upcoming Amazon TV series.
