After getting de-caped from his iconic role as Superman, Henry Cavill is preparing to leap into Amazon’s waiting arms. The once Witcher star is all set to star in and produce a series based onWarhammer 40k. It’s the most popular miniature wargame out there.
It’s just been a month since it was confirmed that the show is finally in development. We don’t know how Cavill is planning to feature in the project, but if he’s really looking to appease the hardcore fans of the franchise, he must consider taking up the mantle of the Emperor of Mankind.
Warhammer 40kshow must put Henry Cavill in the shoes of the Emperor
When fans first heard thatHenry Cavill is a big-timeWarhammer 40knerdand he’s planning to make a series around it, the community instantly started thinking of characters that would suit him the best, and the most popular opinion was the Emperor.
Let’s be real here: the Emperor of the Mankind is the most iconic figure we’ve been introduced to in theWarhammeruniverse. We don’t know much about his origins, but the way he has influenced this series is remarkable. With his intelligence and powers, he managed to do the unbelievable by uniting the wrecked Earth during the Age of Strife.

With the help of golden-armored men, the Emperor managed to defeat a number of warlords and helped establish the Imperium of Man. However, his conquest didn’t come to an end on Earth as he created the Primarch and their Space Marine Legions to kick off the Great Crusade.
It’s not just the fact that the Emperor is a powerful being; he has a vision for the future of humanity that aims to get rid of chaos and superstition. He’s the sole reason why humanity is moving towards enlightenment and surviving in a universe where there’s a threat at every corner.

Considering the type of character the Emperor is, an ordinary actor can never do him justice on big screens. Cavill is the right choice to play as the Emperor because, with his role as Superman in DC, he proved his abilities to portray a god-like creature who is still deeply human and is unmatched.
Cavill is truly the perfect pick for portraying the leader of Mankind. Let’s hope Amazon and Games Workshop don’t ruin his potential as a character in the series that no one cares about.

Space Marine 2was a smash-hit for theWarhammer 40kand brought millions of new gamers to the franchise. It’s such a big success for the developer thatit’s already considering making a successor.
If Cavill’s upcoming show manages to achieve the same success asFalloutand theLast of Us TVseries, it’s going turn even more heads to theWarhammer 40kfranchise. That could push Games Workshop to push out more films, series, and games, which would be a win-win situation for all fans.
