Netflix has been incredibly secretive about revealingHemsworth’s appearance as Geralt. However, fans finally have their first look at Hemsworth’s costume for the new season, which comes viaRedanian Intelligence. While the set photo doesn’t actually feature Hemsworth, it does show his stunt double, Joel Adrian, donning Geralt’s new outfit and sword for Season 4. Adrian actually played a Witcher in the show’s second season, and is now Hemsworth’s stunt double for Season 4.
The wig looks almost identical to the version Cavill wore in Seasons 2 and 3, which was a major upgrade from the first version in Season 1. The jacket features similar stud-work to Geralt’s iconic armor from Season 1. However, the overall look appears more relaxed, and is akin to the iconic shot (which went viral online) of Cavill’s Geralt wearing an unbuttoned shirt during the show’s first episode.
The Witcher Fans React to Season 4 Costume
Netflix’sThe Witcheradaptation has alreadyriled a large majority of the fan base, due to its major deviations from Andrzej Sapkowski’s books, especially in Seasons 2 and 3. However, when Cavill announced he was stepping back from the role, a large chunk of the fan base decided they are going with him. Almost all news and updates onThe WitcherSeason 4, and the various spin-offs, are littered with comments from fans declaring their love for Cavill’s performance, with many proclaiming ‘no Cavill, noWitcher.’
