Culture news “The greatest privilege of my career”: Henry Cavill is really proud to work on this sci-fi saga for Amazon Prime
Present on the poster of the film Argylle released in theaters recently, Henry Cavill spoke at length about the feature film… but also about one of its upcoming adaptations. Time and time again, he’s shown his commitment to doing something true to the original franchise.
Warhammer project with Amazon and Henry Cavill: “That it can be faithful is essential for me”
Sometimes Superman, sometimes Geralt of Rivia… In recent years, Henry Cavill has multiplied his successful roles. Since January 31, he has been starring in the film Argylle with Dua Lipa. A feature film directed by Matthew Vaughn (Kick-Ass, Kingsman) adapting the literary series of the same name. The film team (notably Cavill and Vaugn) lends itself to the interview game. For example, on Josh Horowitz’s microphone with his podcast Happy, Sad, Confused, she talks about the British actor’s hairstyle for the film, his first auditions and even how the sex scenes unfolded.
In this 50-minute interview, Josh Horowitz also has the opportunity to ask Cavill about his next projects. Among them, there is obviously the adaptation of the Warhammer 40,000 universe on screen. Passionate about the license held by Games Workshop, he plays a key role as producer and main actor. A commitment that he affirmed once again:
It is the greatest privilege of my professional career to have this opportunity (…) Having the opportunity to bring this to the screen and also to be at the helm so that it can be faithful is essential for me .
Strong words when we know that the British actor, one of the most fervent fans of the universe of The Witcher, would himself have distanced himself from the Netflix adaptation for reasons of differences regarding the fidelity of the television series.
“There is no better reason why I joined the industry than doing something like this”
Concerning Warhammer, it is therefore in his soul and conscience that Henry Cavill will make his choices. Always on Josh Horowitz’s microphone, he has repeatedly shown his love for the franchise.
These are the kinds of things I’ve been dealing with since I was a kid. It’s a topic I’ve spent my free time daydreaming about, and as an adult, it’s what I do too. I have the opportunity to bring them to life. There’s no better reason why I joined the industry than to do something like this.
Reading the comments, Henry Cavill’s enthusiasm seems to be contagious. One sentence sums it up very well by saying that “Henry is doing a good job as an ambassador for Warhammer”. Unfortunately, we will have to be patient before seeing the first results of his production, Cavill explaining that he is still in the first phases of the project
