Miniature wargames manufacturer Games Workshop said on Friday that it has reached an agreement in principle with Amazon Content Services for Amazon to develop its intellectual property into film and television productions.
In a brief statement, Games Workshop said it’s intended that rights will initially be granted to develop the Warhammer 40,000 universe.
As part of the agreement, the company will also grant Amazon associated merchandising rights.
“Whilst the parties have reached agreement on material commercial terms, the project is wholly dependent on and subject to contracts being agreed and entered into, which the parties are working towards,” it said.
The company said it was not making any change to its forecast for the period ended May 2023 and that a further announcement will be made in due course.
According to reports, Superman actor Henry Cavill will star in the TV adaptation of Warhammer 40,000 if it goes ahead.
