The Witcher's Ciri actor responds to controversy: Can't compare with Arya in Game of Thrones

Netflix's latest fantasy series "The Witcher" has already started airing. For most viewers, the most direct comparison and reference is undoubtedly HBO's "Game of Thrones".

"The Witcher" is adapted from the fantasy novel by Andrzej Sapkowski, but this novel has been adapted into a video game before, and "The Witcher 3" has a very good reputation and has won the love of many players.

So there are many similarities between The Witcher and Game of Thrones, and there are many places that can be used for comparison. The characters Ciri and Arya are the focus of attention. Arya is the daughter of the Stark family who doesn't like red clothes but loves weapons, and Ciri is also a princess but is trained as a demon hunter. However, despite these similarities, these two characters are different after all.

In a recent IGN interview, Anya Charlotra and Freya Allan, actresses of Yennefer and Ciri, were interviewed and responded to questions submitted by fans. One of them said, "I really hope Ciri can be the next Arya." To this, Freya gave the most sensible answer. She said, "She will not be the next Arya. She is Ciri. She is very different."

This is the best answer to the discussion about The Witcher and Game of Thrones. Although both works are contemporary fantasy literature, they are still different after all. Although the audience will continue to compare them, as an actor, you must have this understanding.

Although The Witcher has received mixed reviews, the second season has been renewed in advance, so you can continue to watch it regardless of whether it is good or bad. Maybe later we will see how different Ciri is from Arya.
