How do we make a Warhammer movie that doesn't seem to celebrate racial supremacy or facism...

I heard a good one-liner once about him: Henry Cavill is what happens when you give a neckbeard three wishes.
I’m not even a fan of Warhammer, but I have major respect for Cavill because of his dedication to the source material. I also wish they had kept Event Horizon in the Warhammer universe, as I heard was originally intended.
I really, really, really want this to be good. If it isn't, it won't be for lack of enthusiasm for the source material, I guess?
There's just so much to cover! Not just fifty billion factions, but why this kitchen sink grim dark setting came to be!
I live me my orks. Love a good waaaaaggghhhh
Plus Henry wants to paint all the characters himself.
They don't have to cover all of that. They can do what Arcane did for League of Legends. Don't go into the lore of everything, just pick a small fraction of it and make it excellent.
I think the problem is Henry Cavill might want to go into everything!
Good thing he's not writing it!
I wonder if they'll start with the emperor's life way back in the past. Or throw us in the deep end with a haresy.
Im looking forward to the sets. The environments are insane in 40k.
They should start with a normal citizen or a guardsman. Then being saved by a space marine. But realizing that chaos is real. And then ending with them being executed for heresy.
