The Only Henry Cavill Thing That Might Make Me More Excited Than A Superman Return Is This Team Up

Henry Cavill as Kal-El, aka Superman, in Man of Steel (2013).

I have accepted that Henry Cavill will (more than likely) never suit up for a new DC movie to play Superman again. There are not many new Cavill projects that could distract me from wanting one more flight in the cape, but his long-gestating video game adaptation of Warhammer 40,000 has always been high on the list. Now, one possible collaborator has pushed it even closer to the top. This is a team-up I’d be even more excited for than a Supes return.

Mike Flanagan is in talks to write, direct and serve as showrunner on Amazon MGM Studios’ Warhammer 40,000 series, which the British leading man is expected to star in and executive produce. According to TheWrap, Amazon declined to comment, so this is not official yet. Still, the possibility of Cavill and Flanagan building this universe together sounds almost suspiciously well-matched.
