Please, Someone Just Let Henry Cavill Talk About Warhammer

It’s been a really busy time for Henry Cavill currently, what along with his formal return to the function of Superman and his shock exit from The Witcher, and even throwing a reprisal as London’s second best detective within the Enola Holmes sequel. But he’s involved not with these items. He simply desires to speak miniatures.

Such is the person’s plight made so powerfully clear within the press tour for the aforementioned Enola Holmes 2. Asked by Nerdist what military on this planet of Warhammer 40,000 a cerebral strategist like Sherlock Holmes would play, Cavill believes, for a second, he’s about to enter his joyful aspect:

The pleasure as he hears it. The pause as he considers. The look to digital camera as he ponders if the Leagues of Votann—a lately launched faction of mining house dwarves, born from the ashes of a few of Warhammer’s oldest historical past—are the precise alternative. And then, the frustration when he realises that his interviewer has no thought how to answer his personal probing. But Cavill rallies, earlier than arriving at a most rational conclusion: Sherlock would play his personal military, the Adeptus Custodes, as he then tries to elucidate—holding again any complexity now he is aware of he would possibly as effectively be about to talk gobbledegook—how the low-model-count, high-reward faction would converse to Sherlock’s eye for element and precision management of a scenario.

But the starvation for extra nerdy speak lingers. “I’ll be very interested to hear what your co-worker has to say about that answer,” Cavill says with a smile, earlier than asking “… are they behind the screen or anything?”

Alas, Henry Cavill in all probability shouldn’t hijack the Enola Holmes press tour simply to speak about his hobbies. However, the need is clearly there! Clearly, the leisure business must be ready. Nobody ask about Superman, or why he’s leaving The Witcher. Next time a microphone’s in entrance of Henry Cavill, let him wax lyrical concerning the state of the meta after the Harlequins rebalance, whether or not or not he thinks the brand new Lord Solar model seems to be an excessive amount of like an Age of Sigmar mini, or if he’s had an opportunity to weigh in on the Votann’s core Eye of Judgement rule being nerfed to not rely as automated 6’s. He will perceive! He will speak! And we’ll all get to get pleasure from Henry Cavill being an enormous ol’ nerd. That’s a win-win scenario.
