Geralt of Rivia&#039;s role is more than just a hunk

“I Wanted to Know More About Geralt&#8230;” Says Henry Cavill on His Intrigue About the Character in The Witcher

While casting seems to be an easy process, bad casting can ruin the best of
series/movies. However, The Witcher fans won’t have to worry about bad casting
as everyone has fit in the mold perfectly. The most important one is Henry
Cavill as Geralt of Rivia

the witcher who protects Ciri.

With the second season of The Witcher
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-the-witcher-season-2-ending-explained-and-what-lies-ahead/]
being an instant hit, the series has passed the acid test. In a live QnA
session, Henry Cavill talked about what attracted his attention to Geralt’s role
and The Witcher universe overall.


HENRY CAVILL’S INTEREST IN GERALT OF RIVIA

While Henry certainly had the physique to play Geralt, the Superman actor
wouldn’t have got the emotional depth without being a fan. The actor explained
his love for the books when he said, “When I read the books, obviously the short
stories are fantastic in books one and two. But I wanted to know more about
Geralt… I wanted to know his background.”



Henry’s quest to know more and more about Geralt led him into a rabbit hole.
“So, Blood of Elves showed me that it took me to this, and it showed me other
witchers… It was just such wonderful world-building and character-building in
such a massive way but among such a finite group.” Being a Warhammer fan, the
lore behind characters always fascinated him.


INFLUENCE OF THE WITCHER GAMES ON HENRY CAVILL

We all have fun memories of video games, but Henry Cavill has an additional
thing to boast about. The British actor, who has played Witcher 3 and has even
read the books, got a chance to act in the live-action adaptation. Thanks to
this extensive knowledge, Cavill looked at ease with the character of Geralt.

“Kaer Morhen for me, I obviously discovered first in The Witcher games, and
Witcher 3 specifically that’s the one I really played,” Henry recalled about the
first time he saw Kaer Morhen

“It was such an extraordinary place that vista the scenery. And you immediately
have that connection to this world…” Henry continued to praise the game.
