One of the official Twitter accounts of Netflix announced actor who will play the role of Vesemir in second season the series "The Witcher". He was the Danish actor Kim Bodnia, known for the TV series "Killing Eve", "The Bridge" and "Murder".
Fans have long wanted to know who will play the oldest and most experienced witcher on the Continent. It was rumored that it would be Mark Hamill - the performer of the role of Luke Skywalker in the legendary movie saga. The actor himself has repeatedly spoke about his desire to play Vesemir, and the official account of The Witcher series of games even posted photos of how the actor would look in this role. But that didn't seem to convince casting director Sophie Holland and her team.

There is a lot of support for this choice in the comments.
Hmm. I mean sure I’d have been on board with the Mark Hamill hype, but damn Kim Bodnia. That’s a pretty god damn solid choice. A + on that one

Frankly, I believed in all these rumors about Mark Hamill, but - damn it, Kim Bodnia. This is a great choice, my compliments.
Good choice! Everyone wanting Mark Hamill should go watch Killing Eve if they haven’t seen it. Hamill would’ve been good, but this is still great casting!

Great choice! Anyone looking to see Mark Hamill should watch Killing Eve if you haven't seen it yet. Yes, Hamill would look good, but the final solution is excellent!
I love Mark Hamill. But he's not Vesemir. Glad they actually properly cast the role instead of just going for a big name.

I like Mark Hamill, but he is not Vesemir. I am glad that they responsibly approached the selection of an actor, and not just chased after a big name.
Good, not Mark Hamill.
