However, it is speculated that Kwang Il Han may return to direct following his success on "Nightmare of the Wolf."

There's also anticipation for the return of Joey Batey's Jaskier, alongside Geralt of Rivia. The voice actor for Geralt remains a mystery, with fans speculating it could be either Henry Cavill, who recently left the live-action series, or his successor, Liam Hemsworth.
