Legendary actor Laurence Fishburne will bring the enigmatic character Regis to life in Netflix’s highly anticipated season four of “The Witcher.” This exciting casting news adds another layer of depth and mystery to the already action-packed series, which is set to undergo a major shakeup with Liam Hemsworth taking over the iconic role of Geralt of Rivia.
The Character:
First introduced in Andrzej Sapkowski’s “Baptism of Fire,” Regis is more than just your average barber-surgeon. His keen intellect and veiled past quickly capture Geralt’s attention, and he soon becomes a trusted confidante and vital player in the saga. Fans of the beloved video games know Regis as a nuanced, sly, yet dignified character, and Fishburne’s impressive repertoire perfectly aligns with this complexity.
Hemsworth and Fishburne join returning stars Anya Chalotra (Yennefer), Freya Allen (Ciri), and Joey Batey (Jaskier) on a journey through Sapkowski’s rich world of magic, monsters, and destiny.
Whispers:
However, whispers of “The Witcher‘s” potential conclusion swirl as production gears up for the fourth season.
