First look at Henry Cavill in Netflix's The Witcher

Netflix has debuted the first footage of Henry Cavill in character as Geralt of Rivia in the upcoming series, The Witcher.

Reminiscent of Legolas from Lord of the Rings, the Superman star stares at the camera rather timidly in the teaser, his hair long and silver.

The British actor's new look prompted a number of meme reactions, with some comparing the strange wig to Lucius Malfoy from Harry Potter.
