But that wasn’t the only major pop culture property that came up in comparisons to the new series, due to The Witcher’s sci-fi/fantasy nature.
When the first image from The Witcher was released, Henry Cavill’s character was heavily compared to Lord of the Rings’ Legolas (Orlando Bloom).
There were bound to be further comparisons with other series, but actor Royce Pierreson thinks that viewers should give the Netflix series a shot before comparing it with HBO’s Game of Thrones.
Cavill was sporting the same silver/white tendrils and hairstyle, after all.
