Freya Allan, on the other hand, has not spoken to Hemsworth yet. She jokingly expressed her gratitude to her co-stars for doing so.
Batey: I've been in touch with him, exchanging emails and sharing our favorite quotes from books and more. While I don't think any of us are capable of offering advice on playing Geralt, he is fully committed to the role.

Chalotra: Yes, we have communicated through email, and I sent him a supportive message when the news was announced. I'm eagerly looking forward to meeting him.
Can Liam Hemsworth's Geralt Compare To Henry Cavill's?
Cavill's portrayal of Geralt in The Witcher has earned widespread praise from both critics and audiences during his two seasons on the show, soon to be three. Prior to being cast, Cavill was already a devoted fan of Sapkowski's source material and The Witcher video games. His physical presence and stoic demeanor make him an ideal fit for the role of Geralt. Cavill's dedication to training, particularly in swordsmanship, enables him to execute the fast-paced and energetic fight sequences that The Witcher demands.
For Hemsworth to live up to Cavill's performance as Geralt, he must excel in all these aspects. It is encouraging to know that Hemsworth is undergoing intense training, similar to Cavill. Additionally, he is immersing himself in the books to deepen his understanding of the character. Hemsworth has also been in communication with his Witcher co-stars, except for Allan, which is crucial for establishing on-screen chemistry, just as Cavill accomplished over his three seasons on the show.
