The series has been a long time coming with Cavill’s partnership with Games Workshop first being announced three years ago. At the time, the former Superman star shared a statement on Instagram<\/a>, which read: “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.”<\/p>\n

The latest update came in July when Flanagan was brought on board <\/a>as Games Workshop CEO Kevin Rountree said work was beginning on scripts. However, he again promised that it would not be a quick process. “This is a long-term partnership with Amazon \u2013 and these adaptations will take years to bring successfully to market,” Rountree wrote in the company’s annual report.<\/p>\n
