The Butcher of Blaviken.
For fans ofAndrzej Sapkowski’s books and video games and live-action projects they inspired, those aliases sound familiar.

But prior to either man assuming the role,Doug Cocklehad done it.
He’s not a bad guy; he’s not necessarily a good guy.
The actor goes on to add:
“Sometimes these decisions turn out okay, sometimes they don’t.
Geralt of Rivia, a solitary monster hunter, struggles to find his place in a world where people often prove more wicked than beasts.
So I think that reluctant heroism is the most important quality to bring to the character of Geralt.
But that can take many different shapes.
Henry’s version of that was different from mine, but very similar.”
With two seasons left of the hit series, Hemsworth will assume the role during that time.
So I think he’ll bring all that to it.
We’ll see what he brings to the table.
He’s a good actor, so I’m really excited to see what he brings."
Luckily, the answer is quite positive.
And they asked me to do it.
The Witcheris streaming on Netflix in the U.S.The Witcher: Sirens of the Deeppremieres on February 11.
