And to make matters worse it sounds like they spent the whole casting budget on Cavill...
This is whose playing Yennefer...an 80 year old witch...
Carla Gugino would of been absolutely perfect for this role...
To be fair this is based on the books which take place years before the games. So everyone is going to be younger.
As far as Carla Gugino, I don't think they'd go with anyone that looks remotely like Yennefer from the games. They said they want the series characters to be completely different.
And hell, if they were going with a "The Haunting Of Hill House" actress, they should've went with Kate Siegel for Yen:
Fred.
