Henry Cavill has finally transcended into a new chapter after a very long and confusing period in his career. The tale of Cavill ironically hanging on a thread as Spiderman ended with one of the worst plot twists of all time. This was a rub of salt on the wounds that were left by his exit from The Witcher. His dissociation from DC and also The Witcher universe is not one that fans can shrug off.

The actor has proved his love for the projects and brought something priceless to both Superman and Geralt of Rivia. And given how  passion for comics and games is a pivotal part of his personality, fans are leaning toward the news of him leaving the projects as the script strayed to being inauthentic. Which is why when Prime studios purchased the rights to Warhammer 40,000, fans want it to be the real Dawn of Justice.

What do fans expect from Henry Cavill in Warhammer 40,000?

Somewhere in 2012, Zack Snyder was trying to reach out to Henry Cavill to offer him the role that would make him the face of hope, strength, and justice. However, the man was occupied with something more crucial. He had confessed to almost missing the role as he was immersed in playing World of Warcraft or as he later told Synder “saving lives.” And while World of Warcraft has yet to bring Cavill on board, Warhammer has already sealed the deal. His obsession with Warhammer goes as far back as when he was only ten years old.

To see the actor become a part of something so dear to his heart, all fans expect is for him to be treated right this time around, especially after what happened with DC.

Cavill guarantees honest portrayal as he is already familiar (obsessed) with the crux of the script. And fans want the studio to stay true to their appointment of Cavill as producer.

He is been at it since he was ten years old and knows every nook and cranny of the Warhammer universe. Furthermore, fans want him to be actively involved in the making process. Some have shared pointers on who could take up the visual effects and narrator roles, along with urging Prime Video to stick to the source material and give Cavill the full creative authority. One fan also shared a specific story from the Warhammer universe for the streamer to adapt for their project.
