The new character posters give fans an idea of who will be the players in the upcoming film, with Vesemir being joined by the likes of Tetra Gilcrest, Luka, Deglan, Lady Zerbst, and Filavandrel to name a few. One of the new character posters also hints that we will have the chance to see Vesemir’s childhood and what led him to become a Witcher in a world where monsters and demons lurk the darkness of the woods. Our own Matthew Aguilar reviewed the upcoming movie, giving it a perfect five out of five, calling it “a thrilling ride through Witcher history full of style, pulse-pounding action, and often brutal choices that no Witcher fan dare miss,”
