Henry Cavill to Play Geralt in Netflix’s The Witcher
Henry Cavill has been cast to star in Netflix's adaptation of The Witcher as lead character Geralt of Rivia, the streaming giant has announced.
The series is based on the bestselling fantasy novels by Andrzej Sapkowski. According to Netflix, The Witcher is described as "an epic tale of fate and family. 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."
Cavill first publicly expressed his interest in the role of Geralt in Netflix's Witcher adaptation in an interview with IGN - watch below:

6 Super Spicy Snack Challenges To Haze Your Idiot Friends
If you buy something through this post, IGN may get a share of the sale. For more, read our Terms of Use.
The bonds of friendship are often strengthened by being horrible to each other. It's paradoxical, but sometimes causing your friends discomfort, or out-right pain, can bring you closer. It's so dumb, but that's the way it is. Far be it from us to question the rich history of people being jerks to their best group of friends. Remember what happened to Julius Caeser? Those were his closest friends, and they probably considered it the ultimate bro-goof. Things were much different in antiquity.
You don't need to trick people into eating these spicy food items, but it does make it a little more fun. You can also challenge your friends to an eat-off, where you see who can suffer the least from these painful food items. Or just trick them, it's up to you.
We Visited a Pokemon Center at the Tallest Tower in the World
While in Japan for the Pokemon Go Safari Zone event in Yokosuka last week, we stopped by Tokyo’s Skytree Town for a look at one of Japan’s Pokemon Center stores.
The Skytree Town store opened in 2016 and is located in the East Yard of the plaza that holds Tokyo Skytree, Japan’s biggest structure and the tallest tower in the world.
While Skytree stretches 634 meters tall and attendees can climb all the way to the 450th floor, the Pokemon Center is located on the fourth story of the East Yard, right near a mall full of other stores including Hello Kitty and Studio Ghibli shops.

Die Hard 6 Will Be Called ‘McClane’
Die Hard 6 will officially be called "McClane."
Speaking to Empire, the film's producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura revealed the title while also confirming Bruce Willis will heavily feature in the movie.
Die Hard 6, originally rumored to be called Die Hard: Year One, will follow a 60-year-old McClane and a younger McClane in his 20s as well. But despite the supposed time jumps, di Bonaventura has reassured fans Willis will still have a large role in the film.
“I don’t know how you do Die Hard without Bruce,” di Bonaventura said. “The idea that he’s not very significant in this movie is not accurate at all. We are gonna explore John McClane in his twenties. But just as prominent is the 60-year-old version.”
