Henry Cavill might be a hunk with the literal body of a Greek God and handsome features that make him the most perfect match for DC’s fan-favorite superhero, Superman, but that isn’t quite the place where most of his interest lies in. In fact, if anything, he doesn’t even consider the role of Superman or even that of the spy he recently played inArgylleto be“the greatest privilege”of his career.
Instead of all these action roles related to superheroes and spies — all of which he has notably performed some of his most impressive feats of all time — Henry Cavill is more indebted to something else when it comes to the great privileges of his professional career; something that many fans would be unable to decipher if they’re not avid gaming nerds like theMan of Steelstar.

The Thing Henry Cavills Calls “The Greatest Privilege of my Professional Career”
It is truly unfortunate thatHenry Cavillhas lately lost out on two of his most iconic projects of all time —The Witcherseries and DC’s Superman role — and had his long-awaited spy movieArgyllefailed by critics and general audiences in an unfortunate turn of events.
However, the Hollywood heartthrob is still as optimistic about things as ever; all because of one project that he is notably obsessed to the core with:A brand newWarhammer 40,000“cinematic universe,”with him being involved in its creation.
In fact, Cavill is so head over heels for this one project that there’s no other place he’d rather be when it comes to this particular project. During a recent appearance on theHappy Sad Confused with Josh Horowitzpodcast, he echoed the same while talking about this“cinematic universe”:
“It is the greatest privilege of my professional career to have this opportunity,” Cavill said. “I can’t say too much, again it’s early days still, but to have this opportunity to bring it to the screen and be at the tiller so it can be faithful, is key to me.”
Reportedly, this video-game-basedWarhammer 40,000project that theJustice Leaguestar has undertakenwouldn’t be anything mild and small, but would rather be most gamers’ dream come true considering how it is being helmed on a notably big budget, as reported byPC Gamer.
Moreover, besides Amazon Studios announcing that it had acquired the rights toWarhammer 40,000last year in 2023, Games Workshop has already confirmedCavill will notably act as an executive producer to this projectalong with starring in it (viaIGN).
While he didn’t spill too many beans about it for reasons all too understandable, considering all these reports about it and Cavill confirming it openly in the wild during a podcast, fans can just expect to see Henry Cavill in aWarhammer 40,000outfit within little to no time!
Henry Cavill Has Been Fostering ThisWarhammerObsession For A Long Time
For those who don’t know, this utter obsession with theWarhammer 40,000is nothing new for Henry Cavill. In fact, it started way back in time to when he was just a child, but was only displayed in recent years by theBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justicestar.
Like how, during the quarantine period in 2020 amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Cavill took to creating miniatureWarhammerfigures and sharing them on hisInstagram. Or the time when he couldn’t stop gushing on about the same during an interview at the WitcherCon (viaTwitch).

While there are many more instances like these, the nerdy gamer further revealed during the interview withJosh Horowitzhow he pretty much grew up“daydreaming”about all these things as he said:
“This is the stuff I’ve been dealing with since I was a kid. This is the stuff I spend my free time daydreaming about, as an adult as well. And I get to bring it into life. And there is no greater reason that I joined the industry than doing something like this, and I’m very happy to be here.”
Well, there you have it: The nerdy, gamer-to-the-core side of Henry Cavill brought, once again, into the light. Though this time, the result of all of this could be something absolutely spectacular for all theWarhammer 40,000gamers out there!
