The world of supernatural fantasy drama saw a new light when Henry Cavill starred in The Witcher. While Cavill’s exit from the show hurt many people’s hearts, it also gave a new opportunity for Liam Hemsworth, the new Geralt of Rivia, to pick up the sword and do full justice to the famous role. While many are still waiting for the upcoming season, Andrzej Sapkowski, the author of The Witcher books, has approved of one specific aspect of Cavill’s portrayal of Geralt of Rivia from the series.

While the series deviated from the Netflix originals in many ways, Sapkowski believes the series nailed the mark with this precise detail for the protagonist.

Andrzej Sapkowski approves of this specific characteristic of Henry Cavill’s Geralt

In the world of classic adaptations, the creative team is usually in charge of the key concepts for the characters and their appearances. While adaptations frequently diverge from the source material, in certain cases, one component of the character remains constant. In the instance of The Witcher, it was Henry Cavill’s voice as Geralt of Rivia. While this feeling is true for his millions of fans, even book author Sapkowski agrees.

The writer made a comment regarding Henry Cavill voicing Geralt of Rivia during his Vienna Comic-Con interview as reported by Redanian Intelligence. In the interview, the writer applauded the Enola Homes actor by saying that in his mind the only fitting voice for the character would be Henry Cavill’s and added that his “voice is perfect for me.” Thus, the author has joined the millions of Cavill fans who believe that the actor’s interpretation of the protagonist cannot be topped.

While the writer praised the streaming service for casting Henry Cavill to voice the character in the originals, he previously stated that the service neglected his suggestions.

Why Netflix ignored Andrzej Sapkowski’s ideas?

During the same Vienna Comic-Con, Sapkowski, the creator of The Witcher books, discussed his relationship dynamics with the streaming service Netflix. Furthermore, he mentioned that several of his thoughts and proposals that he made to the service were ignored the majority of the time. He giggled further, saying, “Maybe I gave them some ideas, but they never listened to me.”

The authors’ statements follow recent rumors that the series’ internal team is having problems. Adding to this was the rumor that Cavill was allegedly sacked from the program because he wanted to follow the original course as spelled forth in the original books. While there are several rumors, only time will tell whether or not they are true.
