Doug Cockle, who plays Geralt of Rivia in CD Projekt Red’s Witcher games, has publicly endorsed the casting of Henry Cavill for the role in Netflix’s upcoming TV series.
Many fans had asked Cockle – who’s become synonymous with the role, and will be reprising it for the character’s appearance in Soulcalibur 6 – for his opinion. He responded on Twitter:
People keep asking… so… let me go on record saying I think that #HenryCavill will do a great job as #GeraltOfRivia ! He’ll make it his own of course, as well he should, and I can’t wait to see what @LHissrich and the whole @netflix team create. It’s gonna be #Magic
