Henry Cavill Teaches how to pronounce his Name 😂

Yet Cavill brought more to his Fallout role than his physical toughness. The mustache-and-stubble look? Cavill’s idea. That meme-worthy fist-cocking move? Improvised. Walker’s subtle wit? McQuarrie rewrote the character to take advantage of Cavill’s dry sense of humor, which has so far been the actor’s most underutilized onscreen asset (Cavill even got the franchise’s only F-bomb). “The end result was that you had a ‘bad guy’ in the movie who never lost that leading man appeal,” McQuarrie says.

Walker was killed off in Fallout, a move that McQuarrie says fans have given him endless grief about on social media, yet the franchise has methods of bringing back familiar faces. Cavill doesn’t appear in the upcoming seventh film, but an appearance in the planned eighth film remains possible. “I’m in the process of rewriting Mission: 8 right now, this afternoon I could turn a page and any actor from the past could come back,” the director teases. “There is no such thing as death in movies, only unavailability.”

Chasing a high-commitment, long-running TV series just as one’s film career is taking off might seem like an odd move. But when Netflix announced a series based on Andrzej Sapkowski’s Witcher books and video games in 2017, Cavill lobbied hard for the role. He was a fan of the Witcher games and always played them like he does all console titles — on their hardest modes, restarting the levels over and over, trying to fully master them. And isn’t the ultimate Witcher challenge playing Geralt of Rivia in a show?

“I pursued, pursued, pursued,” Cavill says of the role. “A couple months after they had gone through their casting process, my agent called and said, ‘They’ve asked you do an audition — you don’t have to do this.’ I’m like, ‘I’ll do it.’ They said, ‘Really? Are you sure?’ I said, ‘Of course. It’s The Witcher.'”

In the series, Rivia is a stoic, silver-haired monster hunter for hire who wanders a fantasy world. In season two, he mentors a young princess (Freya Allan), and they journey to the fortress where he was trained.
