For those of the unversed, the character of Regis helps Geralt in finding Ciri in the game and is also a pretty significant part of the DLCBlood and Wine.There is no doubt that Laurence Fishburne will indeed prove to be a worthy cast member, and the world would have liked to see Henry Cavill’s Geralt of Rivia meeting with Fishburne’s Regis.

“To be fair, when I was watching House of the Dragon, I was like ‘I feel like a lot of these guys could make really good Witchers. I think it would be cool to be in Westeros, I really do. I don’t think there’s a place for me in there, though.”
Well, it is indeed a sorry affair that Henry Cavill had to leaveThe Witcherfranchise but the world would have loved to watch Laurence Fishburne and Cavill reunite.The Witcheris currently available to stream on Netflix in the U.S.
