Amazon has signed a deal with Games Workshop to gain the intellectual property rights that will allow the tech and media giant to make films, TV series, and other content based on the popular Warhammer 40K franchise.
Warhammer 40K has been one of the most popular properties among gamers and others for almost 40 years. It started as a tabletop game but has also spawned numerous popular video games and books over the years.
This news might be interesting enough on its own, but fans of the franchise might also be interested to know that Henry Cavill-the actor who played Geralt in Netflix's The Witcher series and Superman in the Zack Snyder DC superhero films, among other things-is attached to the project as an actor and executive producer.
