Hold your bolt-guns, Warhammer 40k fans! It looks like Henry Cavill’s dream of bringing the grimdark universe to the big screen might be in jeopardy. 

Games Workshop, the brains behind Warhammer, wants a clear plan with Amazon Studios for how the TV shows and movies will go down before giving the green light. When the project was first announced, Cavill expressed his excitement (via Geektyrant):

For 30 years I have dreamt of seeing a Warhammer universe in live action. Now, after 22 years of experience in this industry, I finally feel that I have the skill set and experience to guide a Warhammer Cinematic Universe into life.

Cavill’s been drooling over this for ages, calling it a lifelong dream. But if these two companies can’t get their act together, we might be waiting a long time to see Space Marines kick off on the big screen.
