After nearly two years of anticipation, fans are treated to their first glimpse of Hemsworth stepping into the iconic role, following the departure of Henry Cavill in October 2022 to pursue other projects. Hemsworth’s casting came shortly thereafter, and despite initial doubts—similar to those with Cavill’s casting—it seems Netflix is confident in their choice.
Interestingly, Hemsworth was considered for the role originally, making a lasting impression that led to his eventual casting as Geralt 2. The new teaser showcases him in various dramatic moments, from reflections over a pond to emerging from mist with Roach, and finally a closeup of the Wolf School medallion, culminating in a slow, meaningful glance back at the camera.
While Hemsworth doesn’t speak in the teaser, the focus is now on how he will bring Geralt to life vocally. Henry Cavill’s portrayal of Geralt’s low, raspy tone was iconic, and fans are curious to see how Hemsworth will interpret it or add his own twist. Though not extensively familiar with his previous work, Hemsworth’s ability to deliver impactful lines, as seen in The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, has piqued interest in his approach to the role.
Overall, Hemsworth’s appearance as Geralt looks promising, setting the stage for an exciting season ahead in The Witcher.
