Marines Malevolent certainly, but I don't think Black Templars would willingly harm the civilians? Sure, they may avoid the civilians, they may have no bloody clue how to interact with them, and would certainly prefer to be as far away from civilians as possible so as to be able to deal with their... ahem... psychological issues in peace:
But there is a world of difference between "I'm a socially awkward a**hole" and "I'll kill civvies just for the fun of it".
And Ultramarines and few other chapters also try to interact with civilians IIRC. From what I know, other than Salamanders, there are also Lamenters and Space Wolves who are explicitly noted for their care about the civilians. Space Wolves in general are big on honor, and defending civilians is their duty, so... in fact, there was one time they basically went to war with the Inquisition to save survivors of a planet, though these were a mix of Guardsmen and civilians. Oh, and they also tend to help out the Lamenters from time to time - even the Inquisition will not screw around with the First Founding chapter that easily.
Also, I'd say that Minotaurs are far worse than Marines Malevolent.
Henry Cavill is attached to a Warhammer 40K project at Amazon as an Executive Producer at the moment. Amazon is apparently in the final stages of discussing the rights with Games Workshop.

Keeping in mind even if this does get traction, it'll be years before anything of substance actually happens. They haven't even negotiated film/television rights with the IP owner yet. Thus you still need things like scripts and writers and funding and so on and so forth. This'll take years even if it bears fruit.
Still, certainly newsworthy.
In several years time of course that means that the showrunners for Rings of Power will be free since that show will have been cancelled by then and can work on this Warhammer 40K project. Guaranteed at least one, maybe two above average seasons before he bails if the formula holds true. 😁

He was about the Witcher, too.
Cavil is just a huge nerd, like us: he even almost missed his role of Superman because, IIRC he was either playing a WoW raid or painting Warhammer miniatures.
Also, this may have been posted already, but fuck it.
He was still passionate about the role, though. He was greatly let down with what happened to the show.

Has it ever been told how the Black Templars got such a large fleet for a single Space Marine Chapter to begin with?
Do they have their own ship production, or do they get favoured a lot by Mechanicus ship yards?
Or considering how they are a Second Founding Imperial Fists successor, is the likely reason that when splitting up from the Imperial Fists, they inherited a sizeable fraction of the vast fleets of Imperial Fists' fleet?

With the Henry Cavill announcement, the memes were inevitable.
And a random The Lighthouse reference.
Willem DeFoe and Robert Pattinson would be legit good casting for any WH40K Project never the less.

Thing is, it's not sustainable over the long term; which is part of the point of the setting. Everything is in a constant downward spiral that will inevitably culminate in the destruction of all reality, and nothing anyone does can do more than slow the deterioration down slightly. Failure is always the only option; because otherwise, it wouldn't be Warhammer.
Uh what?
That definitely is not how it is going setting wise
The galaxy as a whole is decaying, and the Imperium is losing ground every day. Even if it's only like an inch a day in the vast span of the galaxy, it's still a loss that's adding up.
You have Chaos and the Eye of Terror splitting open finally- You have the tyranids, which are implied to be coming from multiple galaxies, multiple directions around the Milky Way (as in they ate them) and are said to be running from something worse themselves; not to mention that the amount seen so far are like a single hair's worth on a head of hair
- The necrons are slowly waking up
- People who tried to flee the Milky Way, IIRC, found out that Chaos is everywhere outside of it, so no escape there (which actually conflicts with the tyranids, actually)
- Orks. Fucking. Orks. 'nuff said
I'm sure GW have a McGuffin lined up though, like the Emperor being reborn/healed and bringing actual hope to humanity -- they were just waiting (as in decades of waiting) for a Crusade to finally win and Cadia to be destroyed, to start the whole Dark Imperium arc they've had planned.
Indomitus Crusade.
We know that Robute knows that there is a possibility to bring back Emps, not just a slight chance as we know Emps can take over people's bodies.
He is not bound by the golden throne fully. We have also been told by what was told of Roboute that the Emperor is and can be brought back. He just won't be the same as when he was injured.
Add in segmenta Nihilius and the crusade bringing them together.
It isn't all lost. That is kinda what the IoM have always had. That MacGuffin plot to help save them.
Roboute is the one this time.
Yes Necrons are returning.
I have the rule book thank you very much.
We know there is a possibility of traitor Legion astartes to become good again as well.
We also have another prime Arch returning.
Basically it isn't all doom and gloom yet

I reckon the thing that Tyrannids are fleeing from is their gnawing hunger, for them it is fate worse than death.
Possibly: since they're coming from multiple directions (from multiple galaxies), it could be that they ate everything else and the Milky Way is the only buffet left.
But if it is some physical/metaphysical thread than a proverbial one (hunger)... yeah, the implications of that would be fucking terrifying.
Now this could be interesting... I wonder if we'll see more hints in upcoming media, like Space Marine II...
Maybe, I mean it is Titus so maybe not since he is an Ultramarine.
