Melanie Laurent
Actresses That Should Play Ciri in the Netflix Witcher Series
Melanie Laurent is a French actress who has taken over screens in dozens of films over her nearly 20-year career.
I was first introduced to her talent in the 2009 film Inglourious Basterds where she played Shosanna, a young woman who fled from Nazi captivity and devised the ultimate revenge plot.
That role was all I needed to see to know that she would be absolutely perfect for the Netflix Witcher series as Ciri.
Ciri is a powerful woman who is, unfortunately, dealing with powerful forces that outnumber her and want to claim her for their own.
While the ability to fight is certainly of importance considering fantasy and action are both used heavily in the books and games, an actress that can convey that inner struggle without moving a muscle or uttering a word, and is able to exude strength and wisdom, is also crucial for delivering on the depth of this character.
Melanie Laurent has that in spades, and she can even pull off the look, she would excel and definitely should play Ciri in the Netflix Witcher series.
