More than three years have passed since the high-profile announcement of the Warhammer 40,000 cinematic universe starring Henry Cavill. Since then, the project has rarely received updates — with the exception of a comment from the actor himself last summer, when he noted that implementing a project of this scale takes time and involves a large number of nuances.
In the latest financial results report, Games Workshop CEO Kevin Rountree confirmed that the project is alive and continues to develop, but key control over it belongs to Amazon MGM Studios. According to him, the collaboration with Cavill and Vertigo continues, but the release dates are not determined by Games Workshop.
“Our live-action project is still in development with our partners — Amazon MGM Studios, Henry Cavill, and Vertigo. Projects of this scale are by their nature multi-year. While we would love to lock in a release date, as with any licensing deal, it is not within our power.”
In parallel, Games Workshop is preparing another project for fans. Rountree reported that work on an animation based on the Warhammer Age of Sigmar universe is nearly complete. The project is being created for Prime Video and will be a continuation of the partnership with Amazon following the success of the animated anthology \"Secret Level,\" which previously included an episode based on Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2.
At the same time, it has not yet been specified whether the Age of Sigmar animation will be a standalone project or will also be part of the anthology.
