As the title suggests, Warhammer 40K is set 40,000 years in the future. The story of the game revolves around a stagnant human society that is hostile to aliens and various supernatural creatures.

Henry Cavill hung up his Superman cape
News of Cavill’s involvement in Amazon’s planned Warhammer series comes shortly after reports that the actor will not be playing Superman in the DC Universe. The actor recently appeared as the Last Son of Krypton in Black Adam, ending a five-year hiatus from the role. After Black Adam premiered, Cavill officially announced his return to Superman, with a sequel to his 2013 Man of Steel solo film reportedly in development.
However, Cavill’s return came at a time when DC was experiencing a massive changing of the guard. New DC Studios co-president James Gunn recently confirmed that he’s writing a new Superman movie as part of a revamped DCU schedule for him and Peter Safran. The film will take place earlier in the life of the Man of Steel and will not star Cavill. However, Jan and Safran left open the possibility of working with Cavill in the future.
“James and Peter have a world to build. I wish them and all involved in the new universe the best of luck and the happiest of fortunes,” Cavill wrote in a statement discussing his departure from DC. “My role to wear the cape is over, but what Superman stands for will never pass. It’s been a fun ride with all of you, keep it up.”
Cavill is also preparing to say goodbye to his role as Geralt of Rivia in Netflix’s live-action series The Witcher. After starring in the first two seasons of the show, the actor is preparing to leave the scene after the third, which is expected to debut in the summer of 2023. Liam Hemsworth will reprise the role of Geralt starting in the fourth season.
