Update:
Executive producer Lauren Schmidt Hissrich has confirmed the casting of Henry Cavill as Geralt through her Twitter page.
He was my first meeting. I didn’t have writers or scripts yet – just a greenlight and a lot of passion. That was four months ago, and I’ve never forgotten the passion he brought. He IS Geralt. He always has been. I’m so thrilled to welcome HENRY CAVILL to the #Witcher family.
