Henry Cavill has been injured on the set of Netflix's The Witcher while filming the second season but production on the fantasy series is continuing after production had already been suspended twice this year because of Covid-19 cases.
According to Britain's The Sun tabloid that first reported the news, filming on the second season of The Witcher is continuing in the United Kingdom after Henry Cavill sustained a leg muscle injury on set.
According to on-set sources, Henry Cavill "was on an assault course and injured his leg. He just suddenly pulled up and was clearly in a lot of pain. It wasn’t clear if an object had hit his leg or it was some sort of hamstring or muscle injury".
Henry Cavill was apparently in trees using a safety harness at the time of the injury. "It wasn’t bad enough to need an ambulance but it’s messed up the filming schedule as he can’t walk properly. He has to wear heavy armour in the scenes and he just wouldn’t be able to do it with his leg injury.”
In March production on The Witcher following the adventures of the monster hunter Geralt of Rivia was shut down until mid-August after actor Kristofer Hivju got a Covid-19 positive test.
In November The Witcher production was shut down again after multiple Covid-19 positive cases on the Netflix series emerged that is currently filming at Arborfield Studios in West-London.
The Witcher is expected to go on another production break for the Christmas period later this month.
