Henry Cavill Talks The Witcher on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Extended Clip Shown

With just over two weeks to go until the long-awaited premiere of Netflix’s The Witcher, Henry Cavill made an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live to hang out, chat, and of course show off a nice sword-fighting clip from the show while he was at it. The footage in question is an extension of a scene briefly shown in the show’s official trailers and even features a bit of very fitting Witcher music. Afterwards, he talks a bit about the series and even discusses a few other topics prior to all that.

We’ve gone ahead and timestamped the below embedded video at 6:23 when The Witcher comes up but if you consider yourself a fan of the actor, the whole thing is definitely worth a watch. You can also read on for more details on the series if you happen to be out of the loop for some reason.

In The Witcher, Geralt of Rivia, a solitary monster hunter, struggles to find his place in a world where people often prove more wicked than beasts. But when destiny hurtles him toward a powerful sorceress, and a young princess with a dangerous secret, the three must learn to navigate the increasingly volatile Continent together.
