Hemsworth mentioned, “We tied just a few of the sooner issues that Henry had completed when he was portraying the character to the start of me taking on the position… I didn’t wish to straight attempt to redo something that he’d completed. I initially had a little bit little bit of hesitation in the direction of that. After which after some talks with Lauren and the writers, we felt prefer it was a means of throwing again to some earlier issues that we’ve seen The Witcher do already, and saying, ‘Here’s my model of it, and we’re going to maneuver ahead with it.’ … As soon as I received on set and actually understood the place Henry left the position, and I understood the place I used to be selecting it up, it was not about having to consider that. It was simply the place I’m going and the way I received right here. After which what I do is try to be current and give attention to what my motivation is transferring ahead. So so long as I understood emotionally the place this character was at this level within the story, my job going ahead grew to become the identical because it because it ever is: I’m simply specializing in the path I’m transferring in, and making an attempt to know why I’m going that means.“

As a lot as he’s lived a really remoted life, and is reluctant to divulge heart’s contents to individuals or be susceptible with individuals, other than, say, Ciri and Yen and Jaskier… [At] this level within the story, we’re actually seeing him undergo numerous modifications. So I wished to earn these moments. As a result of after we discover him, he’s coping with doubt. He’s struggling. He’s actually not sure about himself… He’s injured proper now, so he’s not sure whether or not, even when he does discover Ciri, if he’s really going to have the ability to save her, if he has the energy and the power to avoid wasting her. It’s purely the truth that he really is ready to be susceptible along with his associates and meet this chosen household that he’s in a position to lean on them and discover the braveness and discover the energy… This concept of chosen household is what actually pushes him ahead and motivates him to go on.“
