Det ser ud til, at vi får serveret en ret anderledes version af den sværdsvingende eventyrer fra Kaer Morhen, når den fjerde sæson af The Witcher lander senere på måneden. I hvert fald hvis vi skal tro Liam Hemsworth, der har overtaget rollen efter Henry Cavill. I et nyt interview taler skuespilleren om, at han ikke ønsker at kopiere eller efterligne en anden mands værk - i stedet søger han at anvende sig selv og fortolke Geralt på sine egne præmisser.
Resultatet er en karakter, han beskriver som langt mere følelsesladet, sårbar og lidt mere usikker på sig selv. I en samtale med IGN sagde Hemsworth:
"I wanted it to be able to show these moments of him opening up a little more. My interpretation of this character is Geralt is a deeply empathetic person. As much as he's lived a very isolated life, and is reluctant to open up to people or be vulnerable with people, apart from, say, Ciri and Yen and Jaskier...
At this point in the story, we're really seeing him go through a lot of changes. So I wanted to earn those moments. Because when we find him, he's dealing with doubt. He's struggling. He's really unsure about himself... He's injured right now, so he's unsure whether, even if he does find Ciri, if he's actually going to be able to save her, if he has the strength and the ability to save her.
It is purely the fact that he actually is able to be vulnerable with his friends and meet this chosen family that he's able to lean on them and find the courage and find the strength... This idea of chosen family is what really pushes him forward and motivates him to go on"
Med andre ord ser det ud til, at Geralts tidligere eventyr har indhentet ham både fysisk og mentalt. Og den 30. oktober får vi at se, hvor anderledes Hemsworths bud på den elskede karakter er.
