According to The Hollywood Reporter, Amazon is close to acquiring the rights to Games Workshop's sci-fi wargame, and while no writers or showrunners are attached, Henry Cavill is already on board to star and executive PRODUCE the series.
In the far future of the 41st millennium, a universe torn apart by war is the setting for the game. The Imperium of Man attempts to protect it's worlds and peoples against a host of alien and demonic beings. The term "grimdark" was created for its love of excessive gore, action, and the amount of spikes you can fit onto someone's shoulders.
He paints his own army of Adeptus Custodes, the personal guards of the Imperium's Emperor, and he is an ardent fan of the setting and the game itself. Games Workshop previously said it was planning on developing a series around the Imperial Inquisitor Gregor Eisenhorn, a character from the company's "Black Library" fiction range.
