The Witcher star Henry Cavill has recently shared what videogame he’d like to see adapted into a movie.
In an interview with GameReactor during the Madrid Premiere for The Witcher season 2, the Geralt and Superman actor was asked what video game he would like to see turned into a Netflix movie or series starring himself. According to the article, Cavill responded: « I started playing [Red Dead Redemption 2] and I’m really enjoying it. And so, something like that I think would be fun to turn into a movie. » Cavill also defended his late introduction to the game – which was originally released in 2018 – by adding: « I know I’m a little bit late to that party. »
It seems like Geralt of Rivia hasn’t got his eyes just on a role in the hypothetical Red Dead Redemption 2 movie though, as in a separate interview with GamesRadar+ Cavill revealed that he would « love to have a conversation » about being in the Mass Effect series. Not without a small caveat though, as the actor also said that it would depend on « how [the studio is] executing it, » adding that « the world of adaptation can be heavy or light. When I like a product, I prefer the adaptation to be less changed from the source, so it all depends. »
Other than playing Geralt in Netflix’s The Witcher, Henry Cavill also recently played Superman in Zack Snyder’s Justice League earlier this year and has recently wrapped up filming a sequel to Netflix’s retelling of Sherlock Holmes, Enola Holmes 2.

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at University, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to release a number of indie titles. I then got even luckier when I became GamesRadar’s trainee news writer where I get to spread the word about the goings-on in the video game world. My expertise lies in Animal Crossing related topics after spending the last 15 years immersing myself in island life. I also know a thing or two about The Last of Us, and way too much about the Kingdom Hearts series.
