Henry Cavill had a great run asThe Witcheron Netflix before he had to depart the show to keep Superman in the DCEU (which also shut down before it could do anything meaningful with the actor’s return.)
The actor would then announce that he was developing a cinematic universe based onWarhammer 40,000, which had gotten fans excited. With a slew of other films, the actor is also set to star in theHighlanderremake, but there is something eerily similar about the synopsis to Cavill’s previous work
The Highlander really comes off as a Witcher clone
According to the synopsis that has been revealed by Chad Stahelski, the story of Highlander seems eerily similar toThe Witcher, which might be something of a problem for an actor like Henry Cavill. Stahelski said(via The Direct):
My selling point was, to [Henry Cavill], look, you’ve got a guy that’s been alive for over 500 years. He’s the last person in the world that wanted to be in this situation. So you get to cover quite a broad spread of a character arc there. And you get to experience someone that’s trained over 500 years and sort of played [with many types of] martial arts…”
Henry Cavill has a very diverse acting range, but it seems that Hollywood would rather pigeonhole the actor than use him in projects where he could actually do some good.The Highlandersounds a lot likeThe Witcher, but it is just set in the real world. Cavill can definitely pull the character off, but it could soon lead him down the ‘blade-wielding-disgruntled-immortal’ character, as was the case with him being cast as Wolverine forDeadpool & Wolverine.
Henry Cavill’sWarhammer 40,000Universe might be in trouble
Amazon Studios andHenry Cavillare expected to be working with Games Workshop to bringWarhammer 40,000to life in a live-action cinematic universe. However, the studios were expected to reach some common ground when it comes to creative guidelines by December.

There have been no updates confirming or denying that such an agreement has been reached. This could mean that the project is in trouble, and fans can kiss any near future adaption of the story goodbye. However, this does not necessarily mean that theWarhammer 40,000universe is never going to get a live-action treatment. At the same time, it could put Cavill’s involvement in the project on hold.
Henry Cavill has been very vocal about how much he enjoys his hobbies, which are very nerd-coded. It is the sincere hope of many fans that Henry Cavill does get to star in theWarhammer 40,000universe.
