As we all know since the end of 2023, Henry Cavill’s ‘Warhammer 40k’ is officially confirmed. The once DCEU’s Superman is teaming up with Amazon for this movie and TV adaptation.

Developed by Games Workshop, Warhammer 40k is a miniature wargame in which players enact battles with painted models of warriors and vehicles. However, many of the Cavill fans are wondering when will the project be released.

Let’s find out everything we know about the upcoming movie:

2022

An agreement was made in December 2022 to adapt Warhammer 40k onto screens across movies and TV series, with Henry Cavill set to both executive produce and star in the new cinematic universe.

Update on Instagram

At that time, Cavill shared on Instagram that the priority then was to find the filmmaker, creator, or writer to bring this universe to life at Amazon.

2023

An update on the deal recently arrived from the official Warhammer blog in December 2023 as Games Workshop confirmed the full agreement had finally been signed, allowing development to now begin properly.

The post added how the focus is on “getting the first script written and into production,” questioning whether to start with a movie, TV show, or both:

The recent blog ended with a hint at when the first of these projects could arrive noting how it’s “not unusual for projects to take two to three years from this point,” placing the estimated release some time away:

Henry talks about the project

Amid promotion for his new spy thriller Argylle, Henry Cavill in an interview said that the Warhammer 40k project is progressing very well. He said, “‘Warhammer’ is progressing very well. Big things are happening and we are very excited.”

As the creative team for the Warhammer 40k adaptation is only just assembling and Amazon Studios is seemingly yet to decide whether it is making a movie or TV show, the first project in this world still has a long way to go. Henry Cavill will star and produce a TV show series, and movie for them.

When will it be released?

Whether Amazon ends up starting with a blockbuster movie or a big-budget series, the Warhammer 40k adaptation won’t be arriving anytime before 2026, and very possibly even later than that.
