Netflix’s The Witcher has cast its Vesemir, Killing Eve actor Kim Bodnia.
The news comes after rumours that Luke Skywalker himself, Mark Hamill, was in talks to play the iconic role.
“A charming relic of the witcher Golden Age, Vesemir is the oldest and most experienced witcher in our series, as well as a father figure to Geralt,” Netflix said of Bodnia’s character.
“As one of the survivors of The Massacre at Kaer Morhen, a haunting slaughter that nearly exterminated the Witchers, he is fiercely protective of the remaining few, who he sees as an endangered community who can find glory on ‘the Path’ to slaying monsters.”
The Witcher Season 2 is expected in 2021. Ahead of that, the character of Vesemir will be central to a Witcher animated film, The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf.
