The thing that makes this visit potentially exciting beyond the joy of knowing a strong successful guy shares a love of your hobby is Cavill’s previously stated interest in being a part of any potential Warhammer 40k adaptation.
Speaking toEmpirejust last December, Cavill said: “I would absolutely leap at that opportunity —it’s something I’d be very, very excited to do.”
The actor’s presence at Warhammer World certainly doesn’t confirm anything—we’ve reached out to Games Workshop and will update this story if we hear back—but it’s circumstantial evidence that something could be percolating.
There’s been a glut of announcements for sci-fi, fantasy, and gaming adaptations these days. On the tabletop front, Wizards of the Coast is already pursuing a movie and aTV show based Dungeons and Dragons. The rush of announcements can be a bit exhausting, but the right talent could really make a project. The announcement of Walton Goggins' involvement inAmazon’s Fallout seriespiqued my interest, and Cavill’s talent and screen presence could go a long way in a Warhammer adaptation.

I desperately hope Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Baldur’s Gate 3 and Disco Elysium inspire more RPG devs to reject the traditional drip, drip, drip of DLC and expansions
