Henry Cavill Working On A Mass Effect Project?

If it is true and at least decent-made, it would be a gamechanger for the franchise.

If it's movie/serie, I have no interest at all. I have no reason to watch a maleShep story. Nothing against Cavill, but Shepard in my game is a woman. I can't see a guy in that role.
I hope is for VA work.

You know as well as I that the series will be treated as canon, and if you played differently you played wrong. Especially if as you put it it is used as a starting point for the next game. 

Why not? It would just be one interpretation of Shepard. For yours or mine - especially when it comes to choices - we have the games. Also: a series or movie wouldn't be tied to the options in the games, but could give a bit of a different take, that might even fit better with the starting point of the next game. Could be a plus.

If he's a new character, that will be prominent in future games, sure. If it's Shepard, not so much. Because anyone who would be expecting to play as Henry Cavill in the next game, would be disappointed. Even playing as Shepard, they would be disappointed.

I was being hipothetical, like is hipothetical the entire thing. But if that script is actually about Tali and other original trilogy stuff related, I doubt if is about the movie/serie it will not be about Shepard. Of course, Cavill may have a conpletely different/new role, but I have my doubts.

It's not a script, it's just a wiki entry. Hrungr has covered that on page 2.

Assume we get a new protagonist, what is the hook? Because Mass Effect doesn't sell that well anymore and I think we'll see more of that with the LE soon enough. The LE is not a Day 1 purchase type of game. Maybe, some time down the line, for Anthem level price tag. It once could have been the greatest new Sci-Fi franchise, since Star Trek. Bigger than Star Trek. Now, you can rebuild it and you can start with ME5, but Bioware and EA will need to take consecutive hits to build it up, from scratch, with a new protagonist. You would be alienating two crowds, that have been keeping the franchise alive, in some form, in the years in between, to start from nothing. And you would have to absolutely nail this new protagonist and their supporting crew. Nothing like the DA:I/ME:A reception of characters. You'd need to hit it at ME2 levels of acceptance, right off the bat. At this point, Bioware would be better off with a new franchise.

To be fair you need to have at least an IQ of 350 to appreciate a take that consists of a chain of hypotheticals and ends with a very definite conclusion on the precise goals Mass Effect needs to hit to avoid being a dead IP.

In a thread about the IP possibly getting an adaptation.

What are they going to adapt?
