First Look at Henry Cavill’s Geralt of Rivia armour in 'The Witcher season 2'

Netflix has recently dropped two photos of Henry Cavill donning the new armour as Geralt of Rivia. Different from the first season suit, the fresh armour seems to be bulkier and sleek. Abs shape is also seen on the new gear. The actor is still wearing his white wolf medallion and silver sword from the first season.

Henry Cavill also shared the pictures on his Instagram handle where he has more than 13 million followers. He captioned the post with a quote from the original Witcher novels author, Andrezj Sapkowski. “‘It may turn out,’ said the white-haired man a moment later, ‘That their comrades or cronies may ask what befell these evil men. Tell them the Wolf bit them. The White Wolf. And add that they should keep glancing over their shoulders. One day they’ll look back and see the Wolf.” (sic).
