Henry Cavill cast to play Geralt of Rivia

[Dex]

in the new Netflix Witcher series. I'm on the fence about this choice... I've never seen the dude play anything but an emotionless brute. Wait a second... this just might work out!

Who is playing ciri?

Seriously hope this show lives up to the hype I've built up...nice to see a "big" star get the role at least.  Give me a good Ciri, Yen, etc. and let's roll.

He's pretty good.    I always felt he was perfect for Superman just the writing was meh.    He was good in that spy/action flick he did a bit ago as well.    He won't have issues meeting the physical requirements, in fact he's larger than you'd think a Geralt would be.

Apparently he's a pretty big gamer too and really wanted this job, so it's nice he's all in and actually interested in it.     I can't wait for this show.

Agreed. I read on Reddit (so you know it's true) that he missed a call from a director because he was playing WoW.

It actually is true. He said it in an interview on Conan.

 

That's so fuging hot.

Thanks for the picture for clarification.  For some reason, I was genuinely thinking that this was in reference to Geraldo Rivera and this casting had everything to do with Cavilll's mustache.

I'm not buying the whole "Henry Cavill is a nerd" narrative that has been going around the last few months. You can just look at some guys and tell they're not a dork, and he is very much one of them.

fwiw some guy on reddit in some thread claimed to be from the same hometown as him and knows him personally and said this all is very true

 

apparently he was raiding in WoW and almost missed Snyder's call when he landed the Supes job

I'm so hype for this show

He is also a notorious vag slayer so that sort of cancels out any geeky attributes he might have.

lmao well he is ridiculously good looking so if he wasn't getting action I would be concerned he was actually a robot

The two aren't universally mutually exclusive as some would make it seem.

This isn't the 90's where everyone that cared about video games or fantasy type stuff is Skreetch Powers lol.      I mean, I bet 80% of the American population is playing some game, in some fashion now (mobile, etc).       Nerd is in in the 2000's.

So no more Cavill as Superman? That sucks. I thought he was perfectly cast.
