<p>While casting seems to be an easy process, bad casting can ruin the best of series/movies. However, The Witcher fans won&#8217;t have to worry about bad casting as everyone has fit in the mold perfectly. The most important one is <a href="https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-henry-cavill-tells-the-similarities-between-him-and-geralt-in-the-witcher/">Henry Cavill as Geralt of Rivia</a>, the witcher who protects Ciri.</p>
<p>With the <a href="https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-the-witcher-season-2-ending-explained-and-what-lies-ahead/">second season of The Witcher</a> 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&#8217;s role and The Witcher universe overall.</p>
<h3>Henry Cavill&#8217;s interest in Geralt of Rivia</h3>
<p>While Henry certainly had the physique to play Geralt, the Superman actor wouldn&#8217;t have got the emotional depth without being a fan. The actor explained his love for the books when he said, <em>&#8220;When I read the books, obviously the short stories are fantastic in books one and two. But I wanted to know more about Geralt&#8230; I wanted to know his background.&#8221;</em></p>

<p>Henry&#8217;s quest to know more and more about Geralt led him into a rabbit hole. <em>&#8220;So, Blood of Elves showed me that it took me to this, and it showed me other witchers&#8230; It was just such wonderful world-building and character-building in such a massive way but among such a finite group.&#8221;</em> Being a Warhammer fan, the lore behind characters always fascinated him.</p>
<h3>Influence of The Witcher games on Henry Cavill</h3>
<p>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.</p>

<p><em>&#8220;Kaer Morhen for me, I obviously discovered first in The Witcher games, and Witcher 3 specifically that&#8217;s the one I really played,&#8221; </em>Henry recalled about the first time he saw <a href="https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-the-witcher-season-2-episode-2-exclusive-clip-geralt-brings-ciri-to-kaer-morhen/">Kaer Morhen</a>. <em>&#8220;It was such an extraordinary place that vista the scenery. And you immediately have that connection to this world&#8230;&#8221;</em> Henry continued to praise the game.</p>
<p>Let us know in the comments if you have read The Witcher books or played the games.</p>
