He will star in the new TV adaptation of the popular fantasy novel saga written by Andrzej Sapkowski.
The show has been widely tipped as a potential successor to the Game Of Thrones series – which too was based on the fantasy novels of George R R Martin.
Ahead of The Witcher’s release – expected later this year – Cavil surprised fans by posting a series of glimpses on Instagram on Monday.
Cavil was first choice to play the lead role – and the pics certainly show why.
He is seen in a leather costume with a sword mounted on his back – making him look identical to the video-game version of The Witcher.

Netflix is not shy about pointing out the similarities to Game Of Thrones.
The streaming giant’s synopsis for the series says: “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.”
