Actor Henry Cavill comes off as adorkably sweet, but what is it like working with him? According to Netflix's The Witcher season 2 director Stephen Surjik, it's as amazing as you might think. The director recently sat down with Combat Radio to talk about set life and what comes with it, but what he said about Cavill had us going, "awww." 

In the interview, which you can see in the video below (courtesy of r/NetflixWitcher), Surjik spoke on how thoughtful Cavill is on set. "If someone is new there, [he] will spot them and say 'who's that?' and go introduce himself and finds out what they are doing." He said he's so immersed in those around, and charming to boot, that he added, "He's amazing, he could be a politician." 

Surjik also talked about how Cavill is one of the most reliable actors in the space, "When he shows up on set, he shows up on time. He shows up in character, with his costume, on his mark and he knows all of his lines. He knows the background to what he is doing, he knows what came before and what comes after." 

Surjik worked on episode one and two of the new season, something he previously talked about in an earlier interview. Due to COVID-19, filming this season was a lot different than how the gig usually goes, which resulted in the crew being stranded on location for longer than normal. Even still, the director looks back on his time filming fondly, especially with the crew and cast involved. "It was worth every minute," he told Combat Radio, "because when I think back to all of the exciting adventures and opportunities that I had, I wouldn't trade them for anything." 

Season 2 will take these characters to much darker places than the first season, and will continue to show Geralt's path from a different perspective. With the return to his childhood home and Yennefer's return from where we last left off, it will be interesting to see how the show continues to fall in line with the books that inspired the hit CD Projekt Red RPG series of the same name. Set before we met Geralt in the games, Lauren Hissrich and her crew have had their work cut out for them adapting such a beloved staple. Luckily, they're all a bunch of nerds like we are and Henry Cavill – let's be honest here – was born to play the younger Geralt. And not just because he's a massive PC player and lover of the books and games themselves.

NetherRealm Studios has confirmed that after numerous DLC for Mortal Kombat 11, the time for the latest entry in the fighting franchise has come to an end. The studio then confirmed that this decision was made to better support the next game under the NetherRealm name, perhaps the long-rumored Marvel adventure? 

The studio took to the official Mortal Kombat 11 Twitter account to relay the news, saying, "NetherRealm is now focusing on its next project and after more than two years of supporting Mortal Kombat 11, DLC for the game, including characters, has come to an end." With Aftermath and Ultimate, this decision doesn't come as much of a surprise. NetherRealm has done a fantastic job at surprising fans with different characters, improving the overall experience with constant updates, and more story to enjoy this universe further. When it's time to move on, it's time, and with a new project already in the works, the studio won't have to stretch its team too thin to get everything on the docket done.

A longstanding rumor has been that NetherRealm's next adventure will be a Marvel fighting game. This kicked up in full force back in March when Ed Boon tweeted something that had fans convinced he was teasing their next project. Reports and rumors alike cite that NetherRealm is hard at work on a Marvel fighting game for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. Obviously, Mortal Kombat has dabbled in the DC-verse in the past, which is what fans have latched onto, but reports have been circulating with those close to the studio, adding credibility to thoughts on speculation about the new game. That, and the fact that Boon's tweet that spiraled out into speculation paid special attention to mention that director James Gunn "has managed to work on DC and Marvel movies. That's impressive," with a thinking emoji attached at the end. 

Whatever NetherRealm's new game is, we're excited to learn more. This studio has been a powerhouse in gaming since 2010 after Midway Games filed for bankruptcy in February of 2009. Assets acquired during the filming included Mortal Kombat and Midway Games' overall structure, assets that went to Warner Bros. Shortly after, Warner Bros. closed most of the Midway Games offices, including sites in Chicago, Liverpool, England, and San Diego, California. In 2021, the surviving studio in Chicago went from being WB Games Chicago to becoming NetherRealm Studios. The rest, as they say, is history.
