However, Twitterati found Cavill’s rendition of the popular monster-hunter eerily similar to some of the other big screen characters. His platinum stresses reminded some of Lord of the Rings’ beloved elf Legolas, while others thought he looked more like Christopher Lambert’s portrayal of the thunder god Raiden from Mortal Kombat.

For some users, the uncanny resemblance was with Bob from Twin Peaks:
The screen adaptation of the Harry Potter series gave us Jason Isaac’s version of Lucius Malfoy. Twitterati claimed that Herny Cavill could easily be interchanged with Malfoy senior, without many even noticing.
