Beyond Harry Potter, the actor has XIa, The Cloaking, and Resistance to his credit. The actor last appeared in Fansu Njie-directed 2021 action thriller Last Man Down. Still, his Harry Potter role as Viktor Krum has been the most memorable in his career.

The character of Viktor Krum was a Bulgarian wizard who attended the Durmstrang Institute and was the Seeker for the Bulgarian National Quidditch team when he was eighteen. He was selected by the Goblet of Fire as the Durmstrang Champion at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He also asked Hermione for a date and once rescued her.

Yanevski is almost unrecognizable in the new look. The actor now has a decent body mass, and fans think he could play Henry Cavillā€™s Geralt of Rivia in The Witcher. Cavill left the hit Netflix series over creative differences, and Liam Hemsworth is set to wear the skin of the character in the upcoming season.

When a user took to Instagram to reveal the new look of Yanevski, fans immediately jumped onto the social platform to share their thoughts.

He would of been a better Witcher after Henry departure.

Harry Potter and the Order of Hotness.

There’s no way as Hermione I would choose Ron over Victor.

Hermione regrets so much right now.ā€

Bro looks like mixture of Chris Evan, Henry Cavil and Chris Hemsworth all at once.

This is why Iā€™m a firm believer that the actors chosen for the ACOTAR cast should NOT BE as young in real life as they are in the books. Theyā€™re all supposed to be in their early, MAYBE mid-20s. Iā€™m sorry, I work with a bunch of 18-25 year olds. They have about 10-15 more years until they grow into this level of rugged handsomeness lol.

Certainly, the actor has made a fair impression on fans with his handsome look. As of now, it is unknown if the actor has any project slated, but with the new look, he would have been a cool character, perhaps in an action movie.
