While the term “nerd” or “geek” might sound offensive if not derogatory to some, it’s an apt description for the Hollywood actor, Henry Cavill. After bursting into the scene as Superman in 2013’s Man of Steel, fans have come to love Cavill even more because of how outspoken he is about his affection for video games. So, when he was asked to play the role of Geralt of Rivia in Netflix’s The Witcher series, Cavill’s love for gaming and the video games based on the same novel helped him nail his role.

However, as much time Cavill has spent playing video games like The Witcher 3, it appears that even he hasn’t gotten around to playing its massive DLCs.

The Witcher 3 DLCs prove too massive for Cavill

Cavill explained that he might take the time to play Blood & Wine with his nephews while on vacation during Christmas.

While promoting The Witcher Season 2 on Netflix, Cavill revealed that he hasn’t played the DLC for The Witcher 3 yet. In an interview with IGN, Cavill was asked if Toussaint will pop up in the show. The said duchy is the setting for Blood & Wine, a massive DLC for The Witcher 3 that has received several accolades and critical acclaim over the years.

In his response, Cavill added that he “actually [hasn’t] played the DLC” before adding that he’s saving the DLCs because he’s “heard that they are both brilliant.” In addition to Blood & Wine, CDPR also released Hearts of Stone for The Witcher 3.

As for Cavill’s answer, he is hoping that Toussaint will appear in the show. He explains that “there is a beautiful opportunity to explore Toussaint” after talking about how the same duchy also exists within the books. Unfortunately, with Season 2 of The Witcher on Netflix already about to drop, on December 17, it will probably be a while before we get a chance to see Geralt of Rivia’s adventures take him to Toussaint.

Speaking of DLCs, CDPR promised earlier this year that it was going to release more content for The Witcher 3 based on Netflix’s popular live-action adaptation. Unfortunately, the said DLCs missed their initial mark, alongside the next-gen version of The Witcher 3.
