The ex-Superman star and fan of the miniature wargame has called the move a 'dream come true'.
Cavill has spoken about his enthusiasm for Warhammer, a fantasy war game where you paint intricate miniature figures, and have them battle each other.
The Warhammer deal is still to be officially confirmed and a further announcement will be made "in due course", the Nottingham-based games company noted. To play, models and terrain need to be assembled and painted. They are used on a table-top where friends can then do battle in fantastical worlds, telling stories based on 40 years' worth of rules and backstory, created especially for the games.
Previous attempts to get a high-end Warhammer adaptation over the line have failed, leaving endless discussion in fan forums and on social media as to who could play the setting's famous characters. Financial analyst Andrew Wade, from Jefferies, told the AFP news agency this was "very exciting news" for Games Workshop, whose share price rose on Friday as a result."Licensing income has built strongly in recent years, from £2m in full-year 2015 to around £17m in full-year 2023, but we saw a more limited progression ahead, believing that only a major film deal would support another step-change," he said.
