Though it's Not Henry Cavill, Still Geralt!
You know Henry Cavill finished The Witcher? Indeed, he left. Guess what, though? Another actor in the Witcher universe was Geralt Of Rivia before Liam Hemsworth landed the part. It increases the thrills of the Witcher movie.
Geralt: Who is this?
Doug Cockle thus filled in as Geralt in The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep before Liam Hemsworth took over. Though it's an animated film, this one falls inside the Netflix Witcher universe. Think The Witcher: Geralt's Nightmare of the Wolf.
Wait, who's Doug Cockle? you might be asking. Though more behind the scenes, he is a major name in The Witcher world. Geralt in The Witcher 3 was voiced by Cockle. Yes, the video game—the one Henry Cavill particularly enjoyed.
Why Is This Movie Such Cool?
Not forget The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf. That focused entirely on Vesemir, Geralt's teacher. Actually, the basis for this Sirens of the Deep film is a short story from the books, "A Little Sacrifice"! They seem to be aggregating the whole Witcher universe.
You might now be wondering why Henry Cavill chose not to do this film. To be honest, nobody is exactly sure. While some claim he left the show due to set drama, others claim he simply disliked the direction the show was headed. In either case, he is gone.
Why Doug Cockle Is A Big Deal?
Given that this film is rather like a crossover, it's interesting. You have the show characters—Yennefer and Jaskier—then you have Geralt voiced by the man who performed him in the games! That's rather neat, as all the several Witcher products seem to be gathering together.
2024 brings the release of The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep. Prepare then to hear Geralt's voice from the games in a fresh animated film. It going to be fantastic!
