If you never get to see Henry Cavill don the Superman cape anew again, at least you’ll have him sporting silver hair and fighting mythological Slavic monsters. Today, Netflix released a brief first look at Cavill as Geralt of Rivia, the star character of its forthcoming series adaptation of The Witcher. Based on a collection of books that eventually became video games, The Witcher is a medieval fantasy story that follows Geralt, a magically endowed beast-hunter known as a Witcher. It was announced last year that Lauren Schmidt Hissrich would develop the show, after previously writing for and co-executive-producing Marvel’s The Defenders and Daredevil for Netflix. The Witcher is slated for eight episodes, and will film in Eastern Europe. But based on a Variety report, we’re sorry to say you probably won’t get to see Cavill slaying monsters in his full silver-haired glory until 2020.
