The Witcher Movie: 10 Actors Who Could Play Geralt Of Rivia
8. Hugh Jackman
One of Geralt's nicknames in the world of the Witcher is 'The White Wolf', and one of Hugh Jackman's most iconic characters is Wolverine, so the stars have clearly aligned for the great Aussie actor to take the role. More importantly, Hugh Jackman has demonstrated that he can be the downbeat anti-hero that playing Geralt requires him to be, with Denis Villeneuve's harrowing Prisoners proving that he can lay on the grim, down-to-earth drama thick and heavy. Obviously, we know that he can do the gritted-teeth action stuff from his countless turns as Wolverine, where incidentally his lean, toned physique is pretty much exactly the same as Geralt's. As a bonus, he can also sing, which Geralt does too sometimes... terribly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZeCjMAi81BI
