Netflix has confirmed the first story details of its upcoming anime movie, The Witcher: Nightmare Of The Wolf. The news comes straight from Roach’s mouth, as the Netflix website is now showing a listing for the recently-announced movie.
Over on the website, the official description for The Witcher: Nightmare Of The Wolf reads as follows: “Long before mentoring Geralt, Vesemir begins his own journey as a witcher after the mysterious Deglan claims him through the Law of Surprise.”
Although an anime-style prequel that focuses on Vesemir might not be up everyone’s alley, it’s definitely sounding exciting to me!
Other details from the listing are pretty unsurprising. The movie’s genres are categorised as follows: “Anime Action,Sci-Fi & Fantasy Anime,Anime Feature Films,Action & Adventure,Sci-Fi & Fantasy,Action Sci-Fi & Fantasy.”
It’s also been dubbed “Exciting,” which yeah, I can’t disagree with that.
The movie was only announced very recently, so we’ve yet to see any artwork for the project. However, fans are definitely more than ready for some new The Witcher content in their lives!
In related news, it seems that everyone loves to launch a petition, whether or not the campaigns will ever result in some form of success is a different matter of course. Regardless, petitions can be a great way to gain the attention of the powers that be. One such campaign comes hot on the heels of Netflix’s The Witcher series, and it aims to bring The Witcher to this year’s Super Bowl.
The petition in question has launched in the hope of having “Toss a Coin to Your Witcher” performed at the Super Bowl this weekend, and considering how darn catchy that tune is, this could actually happen.
The individual who started the Change.org petition points out that Henry Cavill’s favourite NFL team is the Kansas City Chiefs who will be playing against the San Francisco 49ers, so it makes perfect sense, right?
Here’s hoping it’ll happen!
