Henry Cavill (Superman) along with his co-stars, premiered the first trailer for his new and much anticipated Netflix series, "The Witcher" at Comic-Con. The trailer shows us Cavill as Geralt of Rivia in all of his sword-wielding Witcher glory.
In case you don't know, The Witcher is based on the series of books of the same name by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski. And the stories were adapted into a popular role-playing game series by developer CD Projekt Red.
Some background: A Witcher is a young boy who has been left to fend for themselves and taken in by the group called Witchers and they are trained to levels of almost inhuman agility and endurance. Many won't survive, and those who do travel the world slaying monsters.
Cavill's character Geralt of Rivia, is a solitary monster hunter, struggling to find his place in a world where people often prove more wicked than beasts. But when destiny pushes him toward a powerful sorceress and a young princess with a dangerous secret, the three must learn to navigate the increasingly volatile world of dangerous monsters together.
#TheWitcher will premiere on #Netflix later in 2019.
