Look who I found! And for those asking. This is Zeus pronounced Zey-oos, but most may know this particular horse as Roach! And yes, Roach is a traditionally a mare (lady horse) and if the name is anything to go by, Zeus, is not….but that shouldn’t limit his performance options. Why don’t we have an Oscar for best supporting horse? #HorseOscar #Zeus #Roach #Witcher2

Becoming Geralt is probably the best thing to happen to Henry Cavill in his career since The Tudors and let’s not forget, he was Superman in multiple films which is more than Brandon Routh ever got. Since joining The Witcher, I feel we have gotten to enjoy the British actor doing the things he is best at: being silent, but charming.

He is especially charming when he is around Geralt’s beloved horse. The actor shared a picture earlier today of the horse Zeus (pronounced Zey-oos) that plays Roach on The Witcher, indicating that season 2 production has fully kicked into gear. It’s a very sweet moment that also got fans excited because if the stars are reunited (meaning Cavill and Zeus) then season 2 of The Witcher can’t be far behind. Cavill’s enthusiasm for the role is infectious, and Zeus doesn’t seem to mind being back at work.
