Henry Cavill has always played roles that have required him to bring out the alpha in him. Henry Cavill as Geralt of Rivia in The Witcher is one such role. The second season of this show was released a few hours back.

The Witcher saw a successful adaptation in terms of a game and is experiencing the same with the Netflix original series. And a couple of days before Netflix released the second season, Henry Cavill had a QnA session to promote The Witcher. Here are some insights from the interaction.

Geralt and Henry Cavill’s other roles

One fan from Canada asked Henry to compare Geralt with other roles he had played. Cavill replied, “He is a particular character, and that’s what so wonderful about him. He is obviously a hero character and a representation of good. But he also does some things which average hero won’t do and is fine with it.”

Henry has portrayed heroes like Superman, Sherlock Holmes, and Napoleon Solo in “The Man from U.N.C.L.E”, which are not as twisted as Geralt. Hence, he pointed out that Geralt is not your ideal hero. Instead, he is a mercenary who kills for money and rarely regrets it.

The similarities between Henry Cavill and Geralt

During the promotion of The Witcher season one, when the host asked Cavill about the similarities between him and Geralt, he said, “I think there are probably some similarities between myself and Geralt. I definitely associate with him and maybe that’s just because I’ve been inside his head for eight books, and you do develop relationships with these characters,” Henry admitted.
