Fans of Cavill’s previous work would be delighted to see him step into the shoes of Demetrian Titus.

A recent post from Henry Cavill on his official Instagram profile is sure to bring a smile to the faces of those at Saber Interactive who have invested a lot of time and effort into ensuring that Space Marine 2 stays true to the established lore of Warhammer 40K’s expansive universe while delivering a gaming experience that stands out from the competition in the crowded genre of third-person shooters.

It seems that the balance between the source material and its own creative flourishes is one that Cavill approves and Warhammer fans are thrilled about the actor’s endorsement of the game.

A response to the post indicates that the same fans may be hoping to see Cavill take on the role of Titus in the upcoming live-action adaptation from Amazon, showcasing the resemblance between the two.

Another response indicates that Saber has indeed nailed its take on Warhammer 40K with the player in question expressing that its latest release feels like the Emperor himself was involved in its creation.

It will be interesting to see what Amazon and Henry Cavill come up with when the adaptation airs in the future.

But if the actor’s work as Geralt of Rivia is any indication, he is sure to bring the franchise to life in a way that has not been done before.

Until then, Space Marine 2 players can hope to catch him in a PvP encounter in the game.
