Almost exactly one year ago, Games Workshop and Amazon Studios signed a preliminary contract toward producing live-action films and television series based on Warhammer 40,000. Notably, this deal included Henry Cavill as an executive producer.

The Current State of Production

Games Workshop announced that the full contract has been signed. The project(s) are still in early development. Scriptwriters are being assembled, and Henry Cavill is working with them. All of this to say, the series is only just getting underway and is still in early pre-production. The Warhammer 40,000 adaptations are moving from a prospective deal to in active development.

Games Workshop expects that it will be two to three years before the first project releases.

Analysis

Cavill is set to serve as the writing team’s “champion,” a phrase that seems to imply he is serving as the head of the writer’s room.

Cavill having a direct creative hand in production is a welcome change, and I’m curious to see what he does with that degree of management and direct involvement in the day-to-day production.
