No Superman? No Problem! Henry Cavill Gears up for Another Geeky Adaptation, This Time Picking the Tabletop Game Warhammer

“My Turn To Wear The Cape Has Passed” is what Henry Cavill posted on his social
media yesterday. This single statement crushed the hopes of millions of DC fans.
The month of October came as a blessing for viewers who saw a glimpse of their
superhero after many years. This was an over-the-moon moment for the Superman
fandom and social media was buzzing like crazy that the kryptonite hero is
returning to the big screen.

Nevertheless, it came and went like a beautiful dream that was never meant to be
true. Since James Gunn has new plans for DC Universe and he has made it evident
that massive changes are coming. He recently tweeted that they are writing a new
Superman story that will follow his earlier life, therefore, no Cavill in it.
Well, Well! No Superman? No Problem! The British actor is now gearing up for
another geeky adaptation, this time picking the tabletop game Warhammer.


HENRY CAVILL IS FINALLY READY TO LIVE HIS NERD DREAM WITH THE WARHAMMER SERIES 

According to The Hollywood Reporter
[https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/henry-cavill-warhammer-40000-amazon-1235283251/],
Henry Cavill is set to star and produce a series based on Warhammer 40,000, the
most popular miniature wargame in the world. The 39-year-old star is crazy about
the game as we have seen him carving those little miniatures. He has spent most
of his pandemic lockdown in this geek hobby so it might be exciting for the
Immortals star.

This show will be handled by Amazon, who has been negotiating the rights of the
game for months now. Although the company has not confirmed anything about the
deal but with a newly freed-up Henry Cavill, anything is possible.

Meanwhile, if you remember the Midnight Mass star Rahul Kohli tweeted last year
calling Henry to make a movie or series on the game. “Hey Henry, f— it, let’s
make a Warhammer movie/limited series. Kind regards, Rahul,” read the tweet.
Well, who knows, it was a hint given by the actor or his words just led the way
to it.

Warhammer 40,000 is a spectacular tabletop game of dark warfare set in the 42nd
century where humanity stands alone. According to the website
[https://warhammer40000.com/] description, humans have no option but to battle
it out against hostile aliens and supernatural monsters. The first edition of
this epic game was first launched in 1987 while the current edition was released
in July 2020.

This miniature wargame has spawned a lot of spin-off media including board games
such as Space Hulk, and Battlefleet Gothic. Are you also a Warhammer fan like
the former Superman? Would you like to see this nerd playing setting up for
another legendary role?
