Christina Hendricks is an odd presence in show business. On one hand, she has had great success on television with a handful of iconic roles, but on the other, her movie presence is fairly limited. That said, she is a great talent for playing duplicitous characters - savvy women who always have an ulterior motive and an eye on the target. This quality would make her ideal to play Philippa Eilhart, the founder of the Lodge of Sorceresses.

Philippa is a woman unhampered by moral qualms, and she often has to fight an uphill battle to gain a foothold in the patriarchal world of the Witcher saga. While all sorceresses are beautiful, Philippa is often referred to as the most ruthless with both her beauty and her magic. Christina Hendricks is the best choice for this sort of character, and with her track record for memorable television appearances, she is definitely a plausible choice for the producers.
