In an in-depth profile interview with The Hollywood Reporter, "The Witcher" star Henry Cavill reiterated his commitment to the series, proving that his ardent interest had not waned with two seasons already in the books and a third on the way. He also affirmed he would be happy to have the show go on for a whole seven seasons, in keeping with current showrunner Lauren Hissrich's plan.
Cavill did add, however, that there was only one caveat with his participation in "The Witcher" franchise. He explained to The Hollywood Reporter that "as long as we can keep telling great stories which honor [author Andrzej] Sapkowski's work," then, as his statement implies, he will remain involved with the show.
By all accounts, the cast and crew are also happy to keep working with Cavill. In the same interview, Hissrich spoke about how the actor will talk to every crew member on set to start the day, asking them how their day is going. "It's to the point where sometimes our ADs are like, 'OK, we have a huge crew, you can't ask everyone,'" she added.
Hissrich also spoke to Cavill's work ethic, praising the "Man of Steel" actor for his commitment and routine preparedness. "He knows he is No. 1 on the call sheet, and there's a great responsibility that comes with that," Hissrich said. "A lot of times that person can make the show a hurricane that revolves around them. Henry works hard to make that not so. He's on time. He always knows his lines. He always knows his choreography and certainly always knows his action."
It certainly sounds like Cavill is dedicated to the role, which is why it's no surprise that Cavill's love for "The Witcher" predates his role on the Netflix series.
