New The Witcher star Liam Hemsworth has been seen in character for the first time.
The Hunger Games star is set to take over as Geralt of Rivia from Henry Cavill for the Netflix show's final two seasons.
Two new behind-the-scenes pictures have been revealed, showing Hemsworth donning the famous white wig as he battles Mahesh Jadu's Vilgefortz of Roggeveen.

It comes after the cast of season 4 recently gathered for a table read, including Hemsworth and fellow newcomer Laurence Fishburne, who will play Regis.
The clip also confirmed that the show would come to an end with its fifth season, which was teased as a "fitting conclusion" to the fantasy series.
What to Read Next
Hemsworth previously said he was "over the moon" to be joining the series, while also praising his predecessor.
"Henry Cavill has been an incredible Geralt, and I'm honoured that he's handing me the reins and allowing me to take up the White Wolf's blades for the next chapter of his adventure.

"Henry, I've been a fan of yours for years and was inspired by what you brought to this beloved character. I may have some big boots to fill, but I'm truly excited to be stepping into The Witcher world."
Meanwhile, star Freya Allan – who plays Ciri of Cintra – admitted earlier this month that she was "dreading" returning to the role for the next season.
"I was dreading it for a while, if I'm honest, but now I'm on it, and we have a great director starting us off, which has made it so much fun," she told ComicBook. "There's so much great stuff to play. I'm actually quite happy."
She added of newcomer Hemsworth: "He's lovely. Really, really sweet. Really grounded person."
The Witcher seasons 1-3 and spin-off The Witcher: Blood Origin are streaming on Netflix. Season 4 has been confirmed.
