Fans can’t seem to get over Henry Cavill’s mind-boggling performance in Netflix’s The Witcher. Playing the role of Geralt of Rivia in the supernatural series, Cavill touched a lot of hearts. Geralt of Rivia is basically a monster hunter who is quite adamant. He doesn’t shy away from claiming things he wants at any cost. Initially, there were a lot of questions regarding the casting of Henry Cavill in Andrzej Sapkowski’s adaptation.
