Henry Cavill has left more projects in recent years than he has stuck around for, leaving gaps so gaping they are practically emotional black holes. But Cavill, the ever-script-whisperer, has always been a humble learner. And if The Witcher schooled him on anything, it is to steer clear of déjà vu mistakes. As his passion-fueled dream with Warhammer 40,000 creeps ever closer to reality, fans are trading heartbreaks for hype, floating high on the excitement for the new Cavill era. With the upset updates finally hitting the brakes, all eyes are now on his next big win.

After a never-ending list of disappointing updates, Henry Cavill finally took the leash of his own headlines to bring just what the fans had been waiting for. In an Instagram post on Tuesday, the actor reported on the finalized deal between Games Workshop and Amazon for his Warhammer 40,000 Universe. While his fans were already at the edge of their seat for this one, Cavill’s creative liberty with Warhammer 40,000 has them over the moon.

There are several theories about why Henry Cavill left The Witcher, but the most compelling points to creative differences, particularly the show’s tendency to stray constantly from the original source material. With Warhammer 40,000, Cavill is not just an actor but also a production head, giving him the creative control he craved. Fans see this as a promising sign, especially after The Witcher. With Cavill at the helm, fans believe Warhammer 40,000 will respect the material and the star alike, something his Netflix era in sorcery struggled to achieve.

Respect, after all, can elevate anyone and anything. So, fans look confident that Cavill and their shared lamentations will never see the light of the day.

Every update surrounding Henry Cavill in the last few months has been a sort of upset update until he was the one feeding the fodder to the media. While concerns rounded out Warhammer 40,000 before, fans are “excited to see what he can do, given his creative liberties.” A user could already picture Cavill “painting the power armors one thin layer at a time.” 

Another fan also informed having heard from a little bird that Cavill is “going to have all of the costumes be a matte slate grey so he can paint them himself.” Of course, fans did take a jab at his Witcherverse journey, pointing out his lack of “creative say” in the show. However, many believed the foot falling was abundant as The Witcher’s third season was all about “non-witcher content.” But with the same fans looking all hyped for Warhammer 40,000, one has to give it up for Cavill, having found an army in his fans.
