**Andalusian girls** · 2018-09-04 11:23

wowza. that's a solid shiny name to land. dude is also a big gamer and loves the series from what i remember.

**Tyrath** · 2018-09-04 12:09

Whoa, way bigger name than I expected

**Anoat** · 2018-09-04 12:26

I hope he does the arms/shotgun cocking thing that he did in Mission Impossible

**Krandor** · 2018-09-04 16:49

One of my favorite actors playing one of my favorite media/video game characters? God I love everything about this.

The fact that Cavill is a huge nerd who's been asking for the role for awhile just makes it so much better.

**Karbuncle** · 2018-09-04 16:56

It helps he’s a huge Witcher fan and loves the games and books and also said in an (“in game name”) interview he’d absolutely love to play Geralt in the Netflix series.

a casting ad has surfaced that provides an idea of what producers are looking for in a young actress to play Ciri, the Lady of Space and Time.

The ad, from the National Youth Centre of Great Britain, specifies the actress must not be older than 18, and that they’re looking for a “BAME” actress — that is, someone is black, Asian or minority ethnic

So if Ciri ends up being a minority, will they appropriately adjust all Nilfgaardians?

Gonna be real awkward if they keep calling the Nilfs "the black ones" depending on the casting choice.

LOL

**Anoat** · 2018-09-08 14:12

Nigaardians?

**Zetanio** · 2018-09-08 17:44

I inhaled through my teeth when I read that.

**Alistaire** · 2018-09-09 00:25

Found a fan-made mockup of Cavill as Geralt, looks pretty good

**Krandor** · 2018-10-10 12:13

Freya Allan (Ciri) & Anya Chalotra (Yenn)

Edit : Full cast so far

Besides the top 3 the only other character to appear in the games is Adam Levy's character, who is Ermion in the games (the literal translation of his name is Mousecack)
