Henry Cavill talks live-action Warhammer series

Henry began his post, “Some news got ahead of us last week, but we wanted to wait a quick beat for the dust to settle, some deals to finalise and, if nothing else, now confirm some rumours!”

Henry confirmed that Mike Flanagan will be the executive producer and showrunner of the live-action series.

“Firstly, Natalie Viscuso and I are indeed bringing on Mike Flanagan to write the Warhammer live action series! We have already been working with him to craft the creative, and we’re making some considerable advances in story. As the fans will know, it’s an absolute monster to wrestle but Mike’s extraordinary talents are helping it take form wonderfully,” Henry wrote.

He added, “Secondly, yes, we have also brought United Artists into the fold. They have such a deep wellspring of experience and talent that it was an easy decision to partner with them, especially after my experience with them on Highlander.”

An animated series is also in the works

Amid news of a Warhammer 40,000 animated series being in the works, Henry confirmed he’s working on it as an executive producer.

Henry said, “Finally, we are also working closely with Dave Wilson, John Orloff and Blur Studio on the newest Secret Level animation which will devote a whole season to Warhammer 40,000. Specifically, The Deathwatch! Dave has proven to be a master at his craft, he’s the lead on the project and we are supporting his titanic efforts and helping things line up with the overall universe plan.”

Henry concluded, “Importantly, some of you have been asking if I will still be starring in the lead role in the live action TV series – rest assured, I most certainly will! Who that character is, however, shall remain a secret for now! As a combined force and with the good folks at Games Workshop we are all working tirelessly to bring you the best, most Warhammer universe that you could possibly imagine.”

Last year, Henry made rare comments about his and Natalie‘s daughter.
