An actor you know from the recent Superman movies and the Witcher series is an absolute superfan of Warhammer 40,000. He is currently playing Space Marine 2 and loves it.
Who is the superfan? The superfan in question is none other than the former Superman and Witcher actor Henry Cavill. He loves Warhammer 40,000 so much that he has even teamed up with Amazon and is currently working on a film and series adaptation of the universe.
On YouTube, there are various clips where Cavill talks about Warhammer: In an interview with Still Watching Netflix on YouTube, he states that Warhammer is his greatest passion. In the Graham Norton Show, he also talks extensively about it (YouTube).
In his post about Space Marine 2, his enthusiasm shines through. Next to his monitor, you can even see one of the Warhammer books in the picture.
Even the superfan says: This game is awesome
What does Henry Cavill say? Actor Henry Cavill is a superfan of Warhammer 40,000, and he is really taken with Space Marine 2. In a post on Instagram and Facebook, he writes just that: This game is awesome…
He is particularly taken with the fact that he could not complete the campaign on the difficulty level Angel of Death
alone. Cavill also enjoys the PvP. Ultimately, he also writes that he is looking forward to how the game will develop.
At the same time, he reflects that the ideas and dreams he has as a non-game designer are probably difficult to implement. Here you can see the full post on Instagram:
What is the current status of the film universe? At the moment, Henry Cavill is actively working with Amazon and the licensors behind Warhammer 40,000 on film and series adaptations. Until the end of 2024, the parties have time to agree on creative guidelines for the adaptations. You can read more about the current process at GameStar.
If all parties agree on the necessary framework conditions before the deadline, the universe will take the next production step.
So it will probably take three to four months until we have news here. In the meantime, you can also pass the time with Space Marine 2 – maybe you will meet Henry Cavill while looking for players. The AI companions in the game are, after all, worlds worse than other gamers: The bots in Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 are intentionally bad so that you feel better
