Henry Cavill’s Geralt of Rivia and other characters made an appearance throughout the trailer that also revealed the release date for The Witcher.

The Swagger
When they first cast Henry Cavill as Geralt in Netflix’s Witcher series, I was like “eh?! ๐๐”

But actually I take it back.
From the latest trailer, it looks like he’s nailed the character – the voice, the swagger.
Can’t wait for December 20th!
Geralt Give Us Strength!
I am currently in the middle of a workout while also trying to freak out about The Witcher. I just did like 50 push ups and I am not even tired, Geralt is giving me strength!

Henry Cavill Looks Good
I’ve only played The Witcher 3 — and super recently at that — but it looks really solid. Henry Cavill actually looks… good in the role
