The Witcher arrived on Netflix with huge fervour, as fans of the franchise flock to the streaming service to dive into the world of Geralt of Rivia (played by Henry Cavill). All of the show’s first season saw Geralt going through the Continent alone, taking jobs, and eventually happening upon Ciri (Freya Allan) - but the franchise’s story eventually takes Geralt back to Kaer Morhen.

Kaer Morhen is the hideaway for the witchers, and the location in which they train their skills. Inside Kaer Morhen is usually Geralt’s mentor and, perhaps, best friend Vesemir. Vesemir is a huge part of the franchise and will no doubt be making an appearance on the show in the future - and fans believe it ought to be Star Wars actor Mark Hamill. Once the suggestions began to swell on Twitter, Mark himself spoke out about the rumours, saying: “I have no idea what this is or what it's about but agree it could/should be played by me.” READ MORE: The Witcher: ‘It was really hard’ Yennefer of Vengerberg star exposes huge mistake

After telling the publication she was a “huge Star Wars fan” she went on to explain she was quite excited by Hamill’s first tweet. She said: “It was one of those first Witcher moments for me where I was like: ‘Oh my God, is this even possible?

“That Mark Hamill knows what this is and would be interested in doing that?’” “Mark has always been of interest to me and interest to the project,” she continued. “We have not contacted his agent yet because we’re not casting the role quite yet, but that being said, I am loving what’s happening on the internet. “And I’m loving all of the fan reaction to it. Obviously, we’ve seen what a huge fanbase The Witcher has, and to add that to a Star Wars fanbase… it makes my mind explode a little bit.” While it certainly sounds like Hamill may be in the running for the role of Vesemir, fans will not know until the character has been cemented in the scripts.

The character’s arrival could be season two, however it may even be further down the line, as the witcher franchise spans many years. Meanwhile, Lauren has also spoken out about the impending change coming to the show’s narrative. Viewers of the show were a little confused by its timeline structure, prompting some outcry from the fandom. Lauren recently mentioned this in an AMA on Reddit, saying: “The narrative structure was put in place so that we could tell Geralt's short stories (the foundation of the whole Witcher world, in my opinion), while Ciri and Yennefer could also be a part of the action.
