However, news about Cavill being an enthusiastic gamer came early, around when he was cast as Superman for Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel. He revealed that he had nearly missed the director’s call as he was busy playing World of Warcraft and was in the middle of “an important part of a particular dungeon.” View this post on Instagram Instagram Post He has also recounted his love of the Witcher 3: Wild Hunt as well as the original books the game was inspired from. His passion and knowledge of the franchise helped him secure the role of Geralt in the Netflix series adaptation, titled The Witcher.
