The search for the star of the Netflix Witcher series is over but I can’t work out if it’s a bird or a plane or… That’s right, it’s cleft-chinned British actor Henry Cavill, who launched to fame portraying Superman recently, playing the iconic witcher Geralt.
Show boss Lauren Hissrich said Cavill had been in the first meeting for the Witcher Netflix series, before scripts, before writers. “That was four months ago,” she wrote, “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.”
Cavill responded in good form on Facebook, quipping his new mailing address was Geralt at Kaer Morhen, the famed home of the wolf school of witchers (Geralt and pals).
