It will be, there's going to be zero nudity and minimal cursing, so the only thing that would force a higher rating is gore, which will be minimised because they don't understand the fanbase is literally all as old as Cavill now.
For gore it does help that a lot of weapons in the setting can be portrayed as not causing that much, lasers cutting cauterized holes in people, gauss just making them disintegrate cleanly, flamers you can just conceal the wounds with the flames themselves sweeping over them. fricked for bolters though.
Although I think the big help is probably that they can do tyranids since they usually aren't portrayed with red blood and apparently blood color is somehow significant to censors
which makes absolute sense if you respect the source material as theres frickall swearing in it, with even words like frick being replaced by some Low Gothic counterpart
Hopefully lots of black trans female space marines, and maybe a scene where a white female space marine gets surrounded by bbc imperial guardsmen that all take their turn with her
The absolute fringe of people who just know 40k from memes and YouTube are normies
The second layer of “lore secondaries” who just embrace it all unironically and read the codexes for just the lore and their primary exposure to 40k is DOW and make comparisons between 40k and irl tend to be the most alt-right/incel/whatever. There’s also a smallest fringe of this for far leftists like sigmarxism
Then the deeper layer of people who actually make minis and play the games just don’t care about politics
>its a two hour movie of a fat nerd who THINKS he's good at painting warhammer figurines, but when he enters the first ever annual 40k painting competition, he comes in dead last
Would be a good thing.
If you make it R rated it will give Hack Reddit writers an excuse to do "wow it's so edgy and grimdark because everyone swears and people have sex on camera"
Everyone understands Amazon TM is making this right, it's going to be dog shit.
The policy includes specific goals for Amazon Studios productions, including:
Each film or series with a creative team of three or more people in above-the-line roles (Directors, Writers, Producers) should ideally include a minimum 30% women and 30% members of an underrepresented racial/ethnic group. This aspirational goal will increase to 50% by 2024.
Casting actors whose identity (gender, gender identity, nationality, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, disability) aligns with the character they will be playing.
Aiming to include one character from each of the following categories in speaking roles, with minimum 50% of these to be women: LGBTQIA+, person with a disability, and three regionally underrepresented race/ethnic/cultural groups. A single character can fulfill one or more of these identities.
Seeking at least three bids from vendors or suppliers on productions, one of which must be from a woman-owned business and one from a minority-owned business.
Pay equity across casting, behind the camera staff and crew, and for vendors and suppliers.
the thing about wh40k is that all the shit amazon demands can be fulfilled without going wokeshit >Casting actors whose identity (gender, gender identity, nationality, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, disability) aligns with the character they will be playing.
the Imperium is vast and so far into the future that ethnic groups and nationalities dont exist in the same sense as current day politics >Aiming to include one character from each of the following categories in speaking roles, with minimum 50% of these to be women: LGBTQIA+, person with a disability
Chaos and Genestealer cultists can act and sound like alphabet people
any person using a prosthetic limb or eye is by definition disabled and theres at least one faction of humans dedicated to replacing their body parts with robotics
the rest is something studios deal with under the hood and matter far less to us, the audience
Cavill can do essentially anything he wants because all the current dayisms can be fulfilled with basic shit from the setting if they are creative about it

To be fair 40k has very limited cursing and nudity in general. So it wouldn't exactly be a surprise.
LotR is pg13 too
Slaanesh is the biggest problem, some units from sisters of battle like the repentia could be a bit problematic too.
For gore it does help that a lot of weapons in the setting can be portrayed as not causing that much, lasers cutting cauterized holes in people, gauss just making them disintegrate cleanly, flamers you can just conceal the wounds with the flames themselves sweeping over them. fricked for bolters though.

Yeah but the most popular weapon (bolters) blow people to bits
Tau are non red blood as well
>minimal cursing
which makes absolute sense if you respect the source material as theres frickall swearing in it, with even words like frick being replaced by some Low Gothic counterpart
how would you add nudity in the first place without specifically bringing up Slaanesh?
You never saw starship troopers?
Just like the tabletop.
Hopefully lots of black trans female space marines, and maybe a scene where a white female space marine gets surrounded by bbc imperial guardsmen that all take their turn with her
Can someone tell me why this random actor is involved in 'heading up' a Warhammer movie plan?
Cause's he a famous chad actor who happens to be a legit Warhammer nerd and he's British too.
GW couldnt find a better ambassador if they tried.
I hope it works but the fan base is so toxic I can't imagine it will
Do they hate trannies/jews?
the fanbase? Yes
the IP owners? they love them
Who do you think plays Slaanesh?
that's a big gun there under the skirt
Depends how deep you get into it

I think I'll just ignore this post.
You're ontologically evil for making observations.
I’m an autismo admin of the largest 40k fan wiki lexicanum

bro thinks he's a celebrity :skull:
What is Warhammer 40k?

Huh. That explains a lot
