The Witcher Movie: 10 Actors Who Could Play Geralt Of Rivia
3. Tom Hardy
He'd need to lose some of that trademark thick muscle and maybe wear platform shoes to attain the height we imagine Geralt to be (6'1 - 6'3), but aside from these minor frame issues, Tom Hardy would be great for the part because, well, he's Tom Hardy. Quite possibly the best in the business today, Hardy has absolutely no trouble playing the rugged hard man. His recent turn in The Revenant is a fantastic illustration of his ability to play the surly, muttering loner, which he could certainly channel a bit of for the part. Another crucial facet of Tom Hardy's is his sex appeal. Despite his recent propensity towards gruff roles, he's also something of a heart-throb, which is befitting of Geralt, quite possibly the biggest lothario in video games. Assuming the movie would be about a relatively young Geralt, he is equal parts lover and fighter - a balance that could be struck by Tom Hardy more so than anyone else on this list.
