There Should Always Be The Lich King: Henry Cavill Could Play Arthas Menethil In Potential Warcraft Sequel

Netflix recently released footage from the second season of The Witcher. They depicted Cavill himself in the guise of Geralt of Rivia.

The fan community immediately began to vigorously discuss the new appearance of the witcher, and also noticed the similarity of the actor with another character who became legendary in pop culture - Arthas Menethil, the Lich King. All would be fine, but enthusiasts began to "Photoshop" the actor and imagine how the star of "The Witcher" would look like in the image of one of the most memorable villains in the Warcraft universe.

The similarity of the star of the series from Netflix to Arthas drew attention to the employees of Blizzard. Former game designer and screenwriter for Warcraft, Diablo and StarCraft, Chris Metzen, reacted fervently to Cavill as Arthas, saying that the actor would be perfect for the role. Christie Golden, a screenwriter and novelist of the Warcraft universe, also expressed her opinion. She also found the actor a good candidate for the role.

The peak of fan dreams came after the artist BossLogic portrayed Cavill in the armor of the Lich King. The actor himself marked the Blizzard account and added a mysterious emoji under the post in the artist's instagram.

Cavill has long been a World of Warcraft fan. In one of his interviews, he mentioned that he missed the first call with an offer for a role in "Man of Steel", as he was busy playing World of Warcraft.
