WithThe Witcherseason 1 being such a hit on Netflix, fans are eagerly anticipating the dark fantasy show’s second season.The Witcherseason 2 is expected to introduce more popular characters from the books, including Vesemir, who many want to see played by Mark Hamill. However, one fan has offered an alternative to Mark Hamill as Vesemir, and it’s an idea that’s getting a lot of love on Reddit.
Reddit user TheGreatScubdu has posted fan art that shows Danny DeVito as Vesemir inThe Witcher. DeVito is likely too busy with film projects andIt’s Always Sunny in Philadelphiato commit toThe Witcherseason 2, but it’s a fun idea nonetheless. At the time of this writing, the post is nearing 15,000 upvotes on Reddit alone.

This is far from the first time that fans have thrown their support behind a possible Danny DeVito casting. Back in 2016, there was afan petition to have Danny DeVito voice Detective Pikachuin the film of the same name. TheDetective Pikachufilmmakers even did a voice test to see how Pikachu would sound speaking with DeVito’s voice, but the title role ultimately went toDeadpoolstar Ryan Reynolds.
It’s unlikely that Danny DeVito will be cast as Vesemir inThe Witcherseason 2. However,Mark Hamillseems to stand a better shot at landing the role. Hamill has tweeted about the possibility multiple times (though noting that he has no idea whatThe Witcheris), and showrunner Lauren Schmidt Hissrich has also commented on it. Casting for Vesemir hasn’t happened yet, so there’s still a chance that Hamill will play the role, but fans will just have to wait and see on that front.
Unfortunately, the wait to learn about who may play Vesemir inThe Witcherseason 2 may be a long one.The Witcherseason 2 isn’t coming to Netflix until 2021, and there’s no indication when casting for new characters may be announced. However, the show has already done some pre-production work for the second season, includingscouting trips to possible newWitcherseason 2 filming locations, so maybe casting will be announced sooner than expected.
A lot ofThe Witcherseason 2is still unknown at this point, but one thing we do know is that it will have a less confusing timeline than season 1. IfThe Witcherseason 2 is able to address other complaints about the first season, then the show could reach dizzying new heights when it returns to Netflix in 2021.
