Liam Hemsworth is playing Geralt of Rivia. It wasn't easy to spot him at first. Liam had two body doubles on set, Redanian Intelligence reports, one for standing in, and one for doing stunts. But after trying a few times, we now have our first real look at Liam as Geralt!


In the scenes being filmed, we saw knights riding horses and asking about Geralt. These knights work for Queen Meve. She sent them after Geralt and his friends because they had left her army earlier.

Should have cancelled the show IMO

DOA

Irrelevant at least for me since I quit watching.

 

[mckmas8808]

Looks...........okay. Lets give them some time.

 

[El Muerto]

I forgot this show existed.

 

[drotahorror]

Irrelevant at least for me since I quit watching.

Watched S1 and S2. Never got to the rest, no reason to.

 

[Mr Moose]

Looks more like Highlander.

 

[DaciaJC]

Show was and will continue to be garbage regardless of who they got to play Geralt, even if they convinced Cavill to stay on board. The writers made an absolute mockery of the source material.

 

[SomeNorseGuy]

Televised explosive diarrhea in the making. If nothing else it will be fun watching people rip this to pieces, so it's peak entertainment in it's own twisted way.

 

[March Climber]

I feel like I'm looking at Vin Diesel with a wig.

Now I'm realizing that I didn't realize how much he looked like Vin Diesel. And now I'm wondering if Chris would also look like Vin Diesel in this role.

 

[Spyxos]

Could be worse. But since I haven't watched the last season, it has no effect on me.

The show as it is should never have been greenlit. It's a farce. Nothing remotely resembling the books, what a joke.

How TF you find a dad bod round face double chin ok?

I couldn't stand season 3 and left after the first ep... was there 4?

 

[Hudo]

Not feeling it.

First season was just about bearable and the second was dog shit. No chance I'm watching any of that crap, I'll just replay the third game if I'm ever in the mood for Witcher.

Same, after season 2 I was out. Oh well, it was a nice attempt.

 

[EviLore]

I only made it one episode into season 2. Turned into a Lifetime TV special, and season 1 was already pushing it with the allegorical Nilfgaardian penis armor and all that nonsense. Can't imagine how bad it must be by season 5. Netflix is cancer.

 

[mckmas8808]

I literally meant "ok". Average as much as average gets. I "try" not to use hyperbole, when it's not necessary. Not everything has to be either trash or all-time great.

[Little Mac]

Looks more like Highlander.

Spot on. He looks almost exactly like Lord Raiden (Christopher Lambert).

 

[Radical_3d]

 

[Loomy]

Looks more like Highlander.

Funny you say that. The guy he's replacing will start filming Highlander next month (Henry Cavill playing Connor McLeod)

 

[SJRB]

What stings the most is that Netflix clearly has the resources to actually make a good Witcher show (or any show for that matter), but they just don't give a shit. They will trainwreck whatever IP they can get their hands on and laugh while doing it.

It's just so bizarre. It really doesn't take that much more work to make an actual good show.

 

[Salmon Snake]

Me too.

 

[AeonGaidenRaiden]

 

[Generic]

Liam is a better actor than Henry.

 

[TheThreadsThatBindUs]

Looks like a Brazzers Porn parody.

 

[Arrapaho]

Looks ok for me.

I have never seen the show. Is it worth watchin?

 

[farmerboy]

Ashamedly, I don't really know anything about the source material in any great depth. So whilst I can sympathise with old time fans who feel aggrieved, I can also enjoy this for whatever it is. Liam looks fine, hopefully he acts well.

Show did nearly lose me season 1, that felt like a convoluted mess with all the time skipping and jumping.

 

[DAHGAMING]

He looks like the result if you was to ask AI to generate an image of Geralt.

 

[ElFenomeno]

Damn... in those photos Liam looks better than Henry Cavill who is too much of a pretty boy.
Of course in the show he may look different.
Anyway, everything else will be the same shit as the first seasons so no hopes there.

 

[RoboFu]

 

[Macattk15]

Wow that looks so bad. I never finished the last season, so I'm not really surprised. Won't even check this out for curiosities sake.

 

[Denton]

Abomination of a show, Hissrich should be fired from everything forever.

Also, why does he look like a god damn biker.

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

I'm sorry but these pics remind me of that bad Sonic costume someone posted on here. Looks like a comedic relief version of Geralt. What were they thinking?

 

[Griffon]

Geralt from Temu.

Appropriate for the quality of that show.

 

[existensmaximum]

Looks gross.

 

[Rush2112]

That is not the face of the butcher of blavikan. It's the face of "yes, honey. I'll pick up the kids and an extra pack of tampons from the supermarket."

 

[Tommi84]

Geralt from Temu

 

[Randall365]

Can they fuck off the kids TV presenter playing Yennifer and get Eva Green or Kate Beckonsale in?

And put all the current script writers on to a rocket and fire it into the sun - then let someone who actually likes Witcher have a go.

 

[Soodanim]

I missed the last season of Witcher. Did Geralt get a Harley?

 

[Azelover]

Liam is a better actor than Henry.

Yeah but Henry is hotter..

You noped out the exact same time as me lol. I tried man. The first season wasn't perfect but it was mostly fine, had potential, made me excited for the second season and what it could do with renewed direction and lots of feedback and notes.

What'd they do?

Completely ignored all the feedback, piss on the notes, and take a colossal shit on the original source material.

I can't believe Sapkowski spoke more positively of the show than the games....how could he see the show as faithful to the books when he criticized the games? Great writer, but man his opinions are easily swayed by money on offer, as evidenced by how he let the rights for the games originally go for a paltry sum that he later regretted.

This show deserved to be good. The books are outstanding, spot on dark fantasy adventures. The games are absolutely great as well, with Witcher 2 being comparable to Chrono Trigger in replayability for me, and that's quite a compliment from me. I can't wait till the dust clears and Cavill speaks his mind on the show's head runner and her.... interpretation....of Sapkowski's work. Should make for a good read, if nothing else.
