Henry Cavill’s career has hit rock bottom, the actor is now picking up the pieces. After leaving or allegedly getting fired from Netflix’s successful fantasy showThe Witcher, Cavill was dropped from the DC universe as Superman. Suddenly, the most-in-demand actor has nowhere to go until he signed a deal with Amazon Studios to bringWarhammer 40Kon screen.
Now that game adaptations are quite the trend, especially afterThe Last of Uswas adapted successfully, rumors aboutCall of Dutybeing turned into a film, andThe Witcherrenewed for another season,Warhammeris not a bad idea it is a great one.
Fans do not trust Amazon Studios withWarhammer 40K
Fans on the internet speculate about the quality ofWarhammer 40K. After Amazon Studious failed to deliverLord of the Rings, it is hard to believe the studios will do justice to the game adaptation. Fans took to Twitter to express their concern,
you may’t make a live action 40k. It’s just impossible and any attempt would fail. HARD.

Probably very cheap production costs so seems like a win for both

I really hope this isnt true… it sounds kinda fun, but nowhere near as cool as a fully realized and high budget 40k show

The fans are not wrong, it is disappointing as this indicates that Amazon Studios will make some major changes in the storyline. Moreover, it also suggests that they are trying to chicken their way out of showing some really epic scenes and sequences.
The game is loaded with a variety of weaponry used in tabletop battles, including machine guns, swords, and laser weapons. Players of the game have to fight off Elves, orcs, magical beings, and extraterrestrial species that can all be found among the human warriors. It is immense, and the production cost and scale will be magnanimous.
Warhammer 40Kis a niche game and the Studio along with Cavill are aware that if they manage to pull it off the gaming fans will be their loyal fanbase. As the show progresses the viewers will grow through word of mouth and other means. It only remains to see if the British actor will be able to carry the show on his shoulders.
All Hope is not lost forWarhammer 40K
Henry Cavill is behind the project, the actor has seen his share of betrayals, politics, and powerlessness. Now either Cavill will emerge more powerful than ever or Warhammer’s failure will prove to be the end of his successful career.

The Witcherstar is not unaware of this, he is smarter and more mature now as this time he will not just star in the show but will also serve as the executive producer. This move could be motivated by being kicked out of two big franchises.
Now he has managed to negotiate a better deal with Amazon’sWarhammer 40kand will not just star in the show but also serve as one of the executive producer, this will give him more say in the process and will be less vulnerable to such mishaps.Wishing Henry Cavill all the best in his future endeavors hoping he will give his wants what they want- A Great Show.
