Henry Cavill knows about the criticisms placed against him after The Witcher.
Live-action adaptation of The Witcher (Netflix) was a major hit just after it landed on the online platform last year. While Henry Cavill impressed the majority as monster hunter-for-hire Geralt of Rivia, this made it impossible to please everyone.
Henry Cavill has revealed during an interview with Vanity Fair that he knows some criticisms that were placed against him after The Witcher. He knows that there were criticisms against him when the first season arrived.
Most actors manage to swear off reading reviews. They ignore glimpsing what the fans say about them on social media platforms. But very much like the brave and grizzled hero that he has played, Cavill has descended into the belly of the beast. The actor appears to “thrive” off things that people actually write about him and his performances. He said, “For me, it’s vital to go about and read,” he explained. “I’m on all the Reddit forums.” He is reading all the reviews. “I’m literally trying to get everyone’s information. Some of it is not useful, and other criticisms are incredibly useful. I take it all in, and I look forward to bringing it even closer and closer to The Witcher creator Andrzej Sapkowski’s writing.”
Cavill Follows The Maturity As He Witnessed During The Show
Henry Cavill talked about the difficulty of bringing Geralt to the screen. A lot of emotions and motivations are explained. He added, “I think any of those criticisms, they often lie in things like I was saying,” we don’t have the advantage of a long involved conversation or dialogue with Geralt, so they are criticisms which I think I was prepared for.”
He shows his understanding and concerns as he said, “so for me, it’s about seeing that, understanding it, and working out how I can do my job better within the framework provided, [how to] appease and make those people feel comfortable that I do actually understand this character – and love this character just as much as they do.”
The Witcher Season 2 is ready to resume filming next month. The cast and crew have started to share the details. The showrunner Lauren S. Hissrich, last week, has explained that the show will be witnessing changes into the very early stages of Ciri and Geralt’s relationship.
