It has been months since Henry Cavill bid farewell to the iconic role of Geralt of Rivia. The decision was one of the biggest shockers for both the fans of the show as well as the actor. And even though Liam Hemsworth has taken over now, fans are still sour about the fact that the show let Cavill leave. Apart from the fact that the British star flawlessly portrayed the character, he was also in awe of The Witcher franchise. Cavill’s love for The Witcher video games and novels knows no bounds and interestingly the actor left no stone unturned to bag the Geralt’s role.

Owing to huge star Cavill is, many directors want to cast him in their movies. And naturally a lot of roles come his way. However, for the role of Geralt of Rivia, the British star went all in. Apparently, he was continuously behind his agents to arrange a meeting with director Lauren Schmidt Hissrich.

Interestingly, Hissrich had not started with the writing and did not see any point meeting the Enola Holmes star. However, as determined as Cavill was, the director could not refuse him for long. After repeated requests from the actor, she finally agreed to sit down for a meeting. As per the Vulture Hissrich revealed, “He was really annoying” at that time.

Over the next few months, the director-creator worked out the script for the show. It might surprise you to know but almost 206 other actors were taken in consideration to play the part. However, Cavill’s knowledge about the source material always gave him an upper hand. Interestingly, Cavill revealed how he constantly annoyed his agents as well. Furthermore, as surprising as it sounds, the actor spent most of his free time on set with a sword. All this just goes on to prove how focused Cavill was to land himself a role in the fantasy show.

The inner geek seems to take Cavill to one video game franchise to another, for the actor may appear in an adaption of a popular video game, following his exit from The Witcher.
