I would disagree. There has been no movement towards show production since....December 2022? I think Cavill announced in December 2023 something to the tune of, "Okay this time for real a deal has been signed". Yeah the writer's strike put things on hold for several months but now it's 16 months since the initial announcement and I'm not asking why a show isn't out yet, I'm asking why there has been zero progress and no one else has signed on and the IMDB page is a barren stem. Because normally this stuff gets gradually filled in. It's bizarre that it's still blank.
This may be tin foil hat, but I don't think Amazon is in any hurry to make this show. Possibly not ever. It may depend on who wins the US Presidency because I can definitely see WH40k content get associated with people who support Trump.
Amazon can do one of two reactions to that.
Assuming Amazon is full of wokies, they are terrified about their show being some symbol the "wrong" people. So they won't make this show out of spite.
Amazon is run by soulless cocaine-fueled corporate greed that don't give a fuck about woke, but if Trump loses then they don't want to be associated with losers.
There is also a possibility, assuming Amazon does not care about Presidential politics, that Cavill is being stonewalled over Amazon trying to shove woke shit into the show. However, it raises the question just what the hell contract did Cavill sign to make things so hard? And why hasn't Cavill notified people if Amazon is threatening to pull the same crap as what happened to The Witcher?
Several points:
Amazon has well-publicized woke policies that can be seen in every single last show they've produced, including 'Reacher' and 'The Boys'. What they did with the 'Rings Of Power' and 'Wheel of Time' was no accident.
'The Witcher' was woke from the very beginning. Cavill knowingly signed on to that project and only left when other opportunities arose.
Amazon allegedly drove away the creator of 'Game Of Thrones: BLM' when he was signed on originally to do a Conan show, due to concerns of 'toxic masculinity'. But what we now see is that he's as woke as they come in Hollywoke.
