The Hollywood actor is almost unrecognizable in his full witcher glam, featuring Geralt’s signature milky-white mane, golden eyes, and scarred face.
Let’s face it, we’ve all been feeling a bit down since Henry Cavill announced his decision to leave “The Witcher” series after season 3. Following the actor’s exit, many fans couldn’t even imagine a better candidate for the main role. Now, the world will get a new witcher played by none other than Liam Hemsworth – “The Hunger Games” star. While the release date for the new season is kept secret, the creators lift the lid on Liam Hemsworth’s upcoming character transformation.
In “The Witcher” season 4, Hemsworth will play Geralt of Rivia – the legendary mutant monster hunter, known as the ‘witcher.’ In the first teaser trailer for the new season, we get a glimpse of Liam Hemsworth’s Geralt with his iconic white blonde locks. And, honestly, the new look suits him so well!
It seems Henry Cavill passed not only his witcher torch to Liam Hemsworth but also his wig because the new Geralt looks exactly like the old one. The hair and makeup team followed the original hunter’s look, making the recasting as smooth as possible. In the teaser footage, an attentive viewer may notice Hemsworth’s Geralt from the back, sporting his rugged, shoulder-length blonde tresses with silver-gray undertones.
Just like Cavill’s character, the new Geralt wears his signature ‘do – a half-up ponytail with face-framing tendrils that hide his true appearance from unwanted attention. But the question remains, will we see something new in Geralt’s traditional hair glam? One thing we know for sure – Hemsworth’s Geralt is also a fan of untamed beards, so get ready to see your favorite character with a 5 o’clock shadow on his face more often than a smile.
We couldn’t help but notice a striking resemblance between Liam Hemsworth’s Geralt of Rivia and Chris Hemsworth’s Thor in Marvel movies. It seems that Liam took after his older brother on a dramatic hair transformation journey, trying on a long hairstyle for the first time in his acting career.
The Australian actor wears a dark blonde hairstyle in real life that enhances his warm skin undertone. So, switching to a cool hair tone is the ultimate style upgrade that perfectly matches his new character’s dark and brooding personality.
We can’t wait to see Liam Hemsworth’s major hair moment on the big screen. Until then, we’ll just put season 4 teaser on repeat and wait for the new witcher’s grand entrance!
