The author of the popular fantasy saga The Witcher Andrzej Sapkowski is very pleased with Henry Cavill's performance in the eponymous Netflix series. This is reported by the Polish publication Gry online.
Before the premiere, the writer was confident that the series would gain great popularity and claimed it had a chance to outdo Game of Thrones. Now Sapkowski has assessed Henry Cavill's performance.
“I was more than satisfied with how Henry Cavill played in The Witcher. He is a professional. Just as Viggo Mortensen played Aragorn (in The Lord of the Rings films — ed.), Henry did the same with Geralt — and he will remain that way forever,” said Sapkowski.
It should be noted that Sapkowski is personally present on the set of The Witcher and oversees the production process. The writer himself says that he does not interfere very often with the creative vision of the screenwriters and directors.
Earlier, Netflix renewed The Witcher for a second season.
