Games Workshop has not revealed which part of the Warhammer 40,000 universe Flanagan is developing. It remains unclear whether his work is intended for a feature film or a television series. The studio has also not confirmed whether it will be the project in which Cavill eventually stars. Those details are expected to remain confidential while development continues.
Flanagan is best known for directing The Haunting of Hill House, Midnight Mass, and Doctor Sleep, making his appointment a notable addition to a franchise. Cavill first announced the partnership with Amazon and Games Workshop more than three years ago.
At the time, he wrote, “Together, we’ve been sifting through the plethora of incredible characters and poring over old tomes and texts. Our combined efforts have led us to a fantastic place to start our Universe, which has been agreed upon by those up on high at both Amazon and Games Workshop. That starting place shall, for now, remain a secret.”
