“I have managed this kind of thing in the past, and you know, at the end of the day, I like to make films and I like to tell stories and play. I just don’t want it to affect my way of telling the story I try to tell. I jumped from social media and the internet most of last year.”

Lauren Hissrich, the showrunner of “The Witcher”, revealed to the publication that Hemsworth had been considered from the start, especially as a long -standing fan of the series, which he likes thanks to video games.

After Cavill’s announcement, Hemsworth also went to Instagram to express his enthusiasm at the idea of ​​joining the series.

“As a fan of Witcher, I am above the moon of the opportunity to play Geralt from Rivia. Henry Cavill was an incredible Geralt, and I am honored that he gives me the reins,” he spoke.
