While Henry Cavill and Vertigo Entertainment are already affiliated with “Warhammer 40,000,” the report highlights that Amazon is still in talks with Games Workshop about rights to adapt the property, and no showrunners or writers have yet been added. The UK-based game maker, which created the game in the 1980s, has been in talks with the company for months at this point, but other contenders are reportedly in the mix for the rights.
Considering how much bad news Cavill has had to deal with lately, let’s hope Amazon comes in for him as he draws his own figures and is a huge “Warhammer” fan. expressed interest in being part of the franchise in the past. If they did, the series would take place in a bleak, war-filled future where humans were involved in an endless war with aliens, gods, demons, and other factions (who united to form the militaristic army known as the Imperium of Man). . As we’ve seen with other Prime Video shows like “Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power,” the company isn’t afraid to spend big bucks bringing such weighty projects to life. Hopefully the publisher didn’t put all their money eggs in the LOTR basket, as the ridiculously popular “Warhammer 40,000” could easily become the next big support post franchise if they’re willing to pay for the rights.
