The Witcher Director Says Henry Cavill “Can Be Political”

Steven Surjik, director of The Witcher, says Henry Cavill, Geralt on Netflix, treats people on set in a special way. For a professional, an actor “could be a politician.”

The director is in charge of the first two episodes of the second season. In an interview with Brigade-Radio-One, Surdzhik talked about working with Henry Cavill.

“He appears on time, in his suit, in his brand and knows all the details. He knows the whole background, what came before, what will happen after and what he will need. And he knows everything he wants to ask, makes us talk about everything and even more fascinates us with the process, ”said the director.

Essentially, a director’s dream is to have an actor like Henry Cavill. In addition to responsibility, the Witcher star was praised for his sincerity and constant desire to resolve situations transparently.

“He immediately gets down to business, speaks about it objectively. Whether it’s a discussion, a scene or an opportunity, he’ll get down to business, ”the director added.

“It could have been political,” says the director.

In addition, Henry Cavill, as Surdzhik says, “knows everyone on the set.” The Netflix director also noticed how the Witcher actor always congratulates everyone, even though it’s a big production.

“If he sees someone new, he manages to get to know this person better:“ Who is this? “He walks over and introduces himself,” Hi, I’m Henry, what are you doing? ” And talks to this person. He’s incredible. Very good. He could be a politician, ”the director emphasized.

Together with Henry Cavill, The Witcher returns for a second season with revisions. Based on the books and games of the same name, the Netflix series will no longer have the plot format that sparked controversy.

The head of the series, Lauren Schmidt Hissrich, has promised that the story will no longer take place in different time frames. In the first season, a ruse was used, which caused some confusion among some viewers.

In addition, there is an introduction to important characters in The Witcher mythology. One of them is Vesemir, Geralt’s mentor. The character will be played by Kim Bodnia.

The Witcher story follows Henry Cavill as the wizard Geralt. The character is tasked with taking care of Ciri (Freya Allan), who can save the world. Their path intersects with the road of the powerful Yennefer de Vengerberg (Anya Chalotra).

The first season of The Witcher is available on Netflix, while the second season has no official release date.
