The Witcher: New Character Posters Revealed
Netflix dropped three new character posters on Thursday for their upcoming adaptation of The Witcher featuring Geralt of Rivia, Ciri, and Yennefer.
Henry Cavill, known for playing the Man of Steel himself, will be playing Geralt. He is a fan of The Witcher games, and his performance draws inspiration from those who have portrayed the White Wolf before him. Cavill is joined by Freya Allan who plays Ciri, and Anya Chalotra who is playing Yennefer in the upcoming series.
While many fans' first exposure to Geralt of Rivia and the world of The Witcher came by way of 2015's The Witcher III: Wild Hunt, this Netflix series is actually being adapted from the series of novels written by Andrzej Sapkowski. If you're interested in reading through the books prior to the release of Season 1, we've got you covered.

Disney’s New Mulan Trailer Shows Live-Action Spin on Animated Classic
Disney has debuted a brand new trailer for their upcoming live-action adaptation of Mulan.
The thrilling new trailer delivers a melange of fast-paced sequences, stunning cinematography and a bright color palette to present the story of Mulan's family, as their eldest daughter takes bold strides forward on her path to becoming a fierce warrior.
