Witcher casting alert! Witcher fans rejoice! there is some exciting news! Two actors have been cast to join the witcher ranks alongside Geralt.
Lambert and Coën have found their real-life counterparts in Paul Bullion and Yasen Atour.
Paul is a solid actor, having been in some familiar movies and series such as Dracula Untold (2014) and Peaky Blinders.
He definitely has the look of a somewhat hardened soul, combine magic and the typical “dead-eyed” emotion Witchers portray and I can see the glove will certainly fit with this casting choice.
Yasen has a wealth of television series and movies under his belt such as The State, Ben Hur and Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation. So we can expect some strong acting to support the role.
Easy to see why he was considered in the casting choice.
These two actors will certainly add to the ranks of talent already cast in the first season of The Witcher. With fans still eagerly awaiting the casting of Vesemir shortly, rest assured that the right talent will be sought.
So as for the Vesemir Debate, I side on the “Anti-Hamill” team for the main reasons of Authenticity within the Witcher world.
Geralt being played by Cavill is all the “Hollywood” the series needs and gave it a big general audience attraction. The casting of less ‘recognisable’ actors creates a real sense of fresh and novel creation. This allows for a more authentic translation from the books.
With my opinion expressed, let us hear what you have to say! What are your top actors to take on a truly authentic Vesemir in Season 2 of The Witcher?
