Gone are the days of Warhammer 40K fans speculating which of the franchise’s thousands of characters will be portrayed by Henry Cavill, its biggest fan.
Henry Cavill’s Warhammer 40K TV show has been subject to countless speculations over the past few years, but they always came down to the same problem: the complete lack of official information. No one knew who, what, when, and where — but some of these questions cleared up with the latest update on the series.
From the limited information we got about the upcoming TV show, we can even deduce Henry Cavill’s future character in the Warhammer 40K universe. Are you as excited as we are?
Henry Cavill Has Grown Past Support Characters
Like many aspiring actors, Henry Cavill started his career as part of the supporting cast in countless movies and TV shows. But after booking his iconic Man of Steel and The Witcher gigs, Cavill grew past that stage, and in the last few years, the actor has been almost exclusively playing lead parts. It’s likely to translate into Eisenhorn, too.
Eisenhorn, the first TV show set in the Warhammer 40K universe, will follow the Ordo Xenos Inquisitor Gregor Eisenhorn. If Cavill’s career is anything to go off of, the actor will portray the Inquisitor himself, adding another massive lead role to his already impressive resume. He would be the most obvious choice; but there is also another possibility.
Henry Cavill Could Aim Past the Eisenhorn Show
Eisenhorn will be the first cinematic project in the Warhammer 40K setting, but it’s unlikely to be the last. Seeing how Henry Cavill is an avid fan of WH40K, he could be aiming past this one series and looking to secure his position in the future movies and TV shows that will enter production if Eisenhorn performs well enough.
As the Eisenhorn trilogy only contains three parts and doesn’t intersect with other Warhammer 40K stories, Henry Cavill could take on a different role and star as a more prominent character who would later appear in future projects. Most fans wanted to see Cavill portray Roboute Guilliman or the God-Emperor himself, after all.
If the actor wants to take a bigger role in the future of the Warhammer 40K cinematic universe, Gregor Eisenhorn would be too small of a role for him. We’re not even talking about his being a bit too young to portray the Inquisitor; we’re simply musing whether there is a chance to somehow introduce Guilliman into Eisenhorn’s story that wouldn’t be too bizarre so that Henry Cavill could still play the Primarch.
