Cavill and his girlfriend
For the unversed, Henry Cavill made his relationship official with Natalie Viscuso on Instagram last year. The actor noted in his new post how excited he is to work with her professionally. That is why he wrote, “Partnering with Natalie Viscuso at Vertigo has been a blessing beyond words, without her we might not have found the perfect home at Amazon. And having a home like Amazon will give us the freedom to be true to the massive scope of Warhammer. To all of you Warhammer fans out there, I promise to respect this IP that we love. I promise to bring you something familiar. And I endeavour to bring you something fantastic that is, as of yet, unseen.”
