Remember when Henry Cavill wore the Superman cape? No more! Cavill is trading in his superhero tights for something much grittier, courtesy of a childhood passion turned full-time gig. As reported by FandomWire, Henry Cavill, a self-proclaimed Warhammer aficionado, is now the executive producer and star of Amazon's Warhammer 40,000 universe. "For 30 years I have dreamt of seeing a Warhammer universe in live action," Cavill exclaims.
"Fantasy, Horror, and Sci-Fi are the Bedrock": A Love Story with Natalie Viscuso
It's not all swords and sorcery, folks. This project marks another first for Cavill—he’s teaming up with his girlfriend, Natalie Viscuso, to make geeky dreams come true. "Fantasy, horror and sci-fi are the bedrock of my creative language," says Viscuso. Oh, how Cupid’s arrow hits when Warhammer is involved! The couple's passion project appears to be a match made in nerd heaven.
"An Honor and a Pleasure": Power Coupling Their Way Through Hollywood
No, it’s not just a mutual love for dark fantasy fueling this dynamic duo. Viscuso and her company, Vertigo Entertainment, were instrumental in securing the Warhammer rights for Amazon, making her more than just Cavill's muse. "Without the help of Viscuso, Cavill would not have gained the production rights," as per the source. The couple is not merely sitting pretty; they’re seizing the throne and calling the shots in Hollywood.
Could this mark a sea change for Cavill? Known for his roles in blockbusters like Enola Holmes 2 and Black Adam, and set to return to the small screen in The Witcher's Season 3, Cavill now "wants more control over the projects he is working on," according to the source. It seems like Cavill and Viscuso are carving out a kingdom of their own in Tinseltown, one filled with cinematic universes and, undoubtedly, a lot of figurines.
So, if you've ever imagined Henry Cavill swapping his Kryptonian powers for the mystical chaos of the Warhammer universe, your dreams are coming true. Mark your calendars for Warhammer 40,000's Amazon debut, and may your fantasy squads be ever in your favor!
