Netflix has revealed an extended teaser trailer for ‘The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf’ anime movie. The anime movie will be released on Netflix on August 23.
The trailer (watch above) reveals what is involved in making a Witcher. A kid in the trailer says, "They're going to poison us. They'll kill us, then bring us back, but we won't be normal." The Kid Vesemir (Witcher) replies, "I get scared too. Then I think, "Soon, I'll be stronger than most anyone, wanting for nothing." "I'll never be scared again." The trailer further proceeds as Vesemir in Bathtub says, "See, I'm a monster hunter, Fil. Favors and friends don't pay bills." "These pleasures do not pay for themselves, Filavandrel."
Netflix also revealed a brand new poster art for the spin-off anime movie.
