Anya Chalotra discuses what it's like taking on the role of Yennefer in Netflix's The Witcher

Actor Anya Chalotra has some big shoes to fill, as she's taking on the role of Yennefer in Netflix's adaptation of The Witcher. What was it like stepping into a role that so many already know and love? Chalotra herself offered up some insight in a recent Comic-Con roundtable discussion.

"Yeah. I think I kind of distance myself from that though. I think I definitely had faith [in] those who cast me [...] and in myself that I was right for this part because that was -- whatever I gave to the character was something that they were looking for and wanted to give Yennefer. So I never worried about that, I don't think. But I definitely always, I always looked back at the source material, was making sure that I was staying true to the books, because that's something that I really care about. I was so nervous. So it's yeah, the only word I have is insane. It's epic, isn't it? [...] But it's amazing to meet the fans."
