Players of the games have been apparently asking for a glimpse of Roach since The Witcher cast shots were first unveiled at the very beginning of July. They were placated by a benevolent Netflix Twitter account. Cavill, posting on his instagram, teased more information to come at San Diego Comic Con, which kicks off on Thursday, July 18th. The show's star, and seemingly biggest fan, wrote:
"The road to San Diego is long. The good news is, on her worst day, Roach beats the company of Men, Elves, Gnomes and even Dwarves. She's not always easy, but she knows more than most and cares just enough to be the only kind of company worth enjoying."
Not much more is known about the actual horse playing the beloved horse. Except that he's now joining the ranks of other much loved horses from film and television, including The War Horse horse, the horse from Seabiscuit, the horse that served as a model for the severed horse head in The Godfather, and Neidermeyer's horse from Animal House.
You begged, we delivered. Heres your first look at Roach! #TheWitcher pic.twitter.com/Ll3LWtWcg7 NX (@NXOnNetflix) July 16, 2019
