He was absolutely baller in Witcher. But is the role beneath him? I think Cavill is legit top level movie star caliber material. Is he diminishing his brand? I'm sure he's having fun and getting paid, but in the long run of his career, does this take him out of the Tom Cruise leagues? Put him more on par with his doppelganger White Collar clone Matt Bomer?
shareI don't think so. A lot of A-List actors are doing TV work. Which makes since, because fewer people were going to the theaters. We also have to get most of our entertainment from our TVs, anyway - all thanks to Corona.
"The Witcher" should only boast HC's popularity, considering how many people have Netflix.
Witcher is popular enough that it will benefit his credentials with the gamer crowd (well played move)... But it's niche enough not to hurt is broad appeal...
He does need to focus on bigger movies, or potentially genre movies like thrillers, sci-fi or horror...
I do agree it's niche and genre enough to get away it. Big budget fantasy flicks like this always flop no matter who they put in them.
