Greatoneshere Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 He loves the games and the books, he knows the character well, he is a solid actor, and a bankable name for the series. it makes perfect sense. Now, whether I think a younger man like him can play Geralt of Rivia - I don't know. He can certainly get the body for the part, and I imagine costume and make-up will take care of a lot of the rest.

Captain Pickle Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Nooooo! Seriously tho, in that pic he kinda looks like Alec Baldwin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am also dubious, but knowing all of the material well is better than someone picking up a paycheck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wild Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Not what I expected, but he's a good actor with a lot of charm, so I'm on board with it. I sense a Heath Ledger's Joker bit of internet backtracking, though. I do wonder what this means for DC's future plans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodimus Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 So they are getting Clark Kent from Smallville to play the part. He is not that great. Jared Leto might be a good choice but that will never happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost_MH Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 No problems here. Didn't he come out like a month ago saying he'd love to play the part? He's a fan and shouldn't have much trouble looking the part with the right makeup. Sure, he's young, but it's not like he needs to look sixty years older or anything. He's also a good actor and can pull off the charisma he needs just fine. I wouldn't hold any acting you get out of any of the DC movies against the actors themselves. Those movies are train wrecks. No actor was going to save any of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought Mads Milken would have been perfect for this but he may be considered too old now. I'm cool with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mo1518 Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 I was worried about this series, but with a name like cavill on board I'm more hopeful that this won't be a campy video game show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll admit that I'm not the biggest fan of The Witcher, but in my memory of those games, Geralt is either deadpan growling dialog or slaughtering a bunch of dudes/monsters. I feel like that is exactly what a Henry Cavill can deliver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CastlevaniaNut18 Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 I'm fine with this. I've been a Cavill fan since The Tudors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinIon Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 I have very little attachment to the character and I quite like Cavill as an actor, so I'm pleased with this news. I think it also speaks well that they're paying for someone established. Early rumors were they were spending some real money on this, and this seems well in line with those.

Rodimus Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Wait that is not Smallville's Clark Kent. I thought that earlier. That is the boring Superman Man of Steel. Well maybe it might be good but I'm doubting it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 13 hours ago, Jason said: I saw somewhere else that he was actively lobbying for the role. Yea, but iit's a bit murky on the timing. Those comments were a few weeks ago and he has been in negotiations for months. Could be that his interview statements were gauging fan reactions, or trying to prime the audience with some credibility before the announcement after the previous casting announcement fiasco with the leaked audition tape. I find it hard to believe they cast Geralt after everyone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skillzdadirecta Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 People think Henry Cavill is a bad actor I guess... Friend of mine said he thought he was bad in Mission Impossible. I thought he was fine as a villain and I also like him as Superman. I thought he was pretty good in The Man from Uncle too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercury33 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Sigh. Another false narrative the “cool” kids of the internet are running with. Hes got more range than his biggest roles have shown. Go back and look at his older stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skillzdadirecta Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 I remember when dudes were trying to say that Jennifer Lawrence couldn't act... I was like "You clearly haven't seen Winter's Bone, the movie that put her on the map when she was a teenager". People just love to hate what's popular I guess without understanding what made that person popular in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
