You'd think after how he was treated on The Witcher he'd ease up and maybe not care so much.


But that's not him, now is it?

Henry Cavill deserves to be the biggest name in Hollywood.

The fact that he isn’t is an indictment of them not him.

Warhammer 40k is a heavily satirical yet earnest look at humanity in the far future where humanity has regressed to the point all hope for the future of humanity is lost. All that’s left is a brutal theocratic totalitarian regime that only sustains itself by constant war against the horrors of the galaxy.

Famous for the “there are no good guys” approach. Yes, there are hero’s, but there are no good factions, something that’s really really hard to get across.

You’d think after the Witcher crashed and burned, writers would learn to be faithful to the source material but Hollywood can’t help itself.

I wish Cavill had produced the Witcher instead of being Geralt. Man what great TV that would have been

We should have had both. Have this man start a studio that makes content as true to the IP as possible. The shite is already written for them. You can use AI amor autists to keep it on lore

When his career gets close to the end, Hollywood will end up looking back in regret on what was squandered.

He essentially was in Man From U.N.C.L.E.

I 100% understand why writers would have issues with him when it comes to stuff like this

They shouldn’t though. He knows the source material better than them.

It’s that the Netflix writers were full of themselves in 2022 and deep in the idea that they could write in whatever they want. Now they’re losing their leverage and they have to give in. Amazon also made this deal with Cavill knowing that he would have creative control after how Witcher went awry
