Henry cut a dapper figure for the affair and was suited and booted in suave, charcoal grey suit and black shirt, unbuttoned at the chest. 

He plays the lead role of Geralt of Rivia in the series; a monster hunter known as a Witcher who travels the countryside slaying terrifying beasts. 

Speaking about his character previously, Henry told Netflix: 'You are almost universally hated by every species on the continent.

'It’s unlikely you’re going to have a cheery personality. But Geralt himself, despite the stony exterior, is actually quite good... but very capable of doing very bad things.' 

The Man of Steel star had all eyes on him during his arrival, where he was shortly joined by his co-stars Chalotra and Allen. 

They star alongside Henry in the fantasy series, playing the roles of Yennefer and Ciri respectively.

Anya stunned in an embellished, bandeau floor-length metallic gown that skimmed over her enviable frame. 

Choosing to leave her decolletage bare, the beauty wore her dark tresses up in a perfectly styled up-do and completed her red carpet look with minimal yet flawless make-up. 

Freya, meanwhile, opted for a sultry, statement black gown that came complete with a sheer top and sequinned detailing down the skirt.

The Witcher - an eight-episode adaptation of the best-selling medieval book series by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski, has already received acclaim from critics, prior to its release on Netflix. 

Critics took to Twitter, before they were allowed to publish their official reviews of the series, and seemed to heap praise on the show's first season - especially with regards to the show's awe-inspiring choreography and Cavill's incredible transformations into Geralt.

Revealing their spoiler-free thoughts on the social media platform, one user wrote: 'The Fight Scenes In #Witcher WOW Makes #GameofThrones Fights Look Awful - Watching The Witcher Season 1 This Weekend (sic)'

Another added: 'Oh I will say this. The fight scenes in The Witcher make Game Of Thrones fight scenes look like two drunks fighting outside a bar.'

One critic gushed: 'The fight choreography is insane. First fight Geralt gets into is beautifully savage. The blend of swordplay and Geralt's signs is perfection.'

Going on to discuss Henry, one user joked: 'So... I've never really been thirsty for Henry Cavill. I mean, I get he's handsome but just haven't. I've seen a screener of the first episode of #TheWitcher and, um, I think I'm pregnant.' 

The Netflix adaptation of The Witcher will also examine Allen and Chalotra's characters, Princess Ciri and Yennefer of Vengerberg's arcs, as the duo's intertwining destinies with Geralt find them coming together in full force. 

It was announced in November that The Witcher has already been renewed for a second season, ahead of its release.
