Natalie Viscuso entered the limelight when her relationship with The Witcher star Henry Cavill went public in April 2021. But, although her boyfriend is a major name in film and television, Viscuso is no stranger to actors and film sets.
According to an exclusive from Deadline in May 2022, Viscuso works for Roy Lee’s Vertigo Entertainment as Vice President of TV. The Los Angeles-based company is working with Amazon to produce several series, including Warhammer 40,000, which is currently being adapted from the tabletop game and stars Cavill.
Before that, she filled the Vice President of Television and Digital Studios role for Legendary Entertainment, a production company that was involved in two of Cavill’s movies, Enola Holmes (2020) and Man of Steel (2013).
Both Vertigo and Legendary have been involved with countless film and television projects. According to her official IMDB profile, Viscuso has been credited for working directly on one movie, four television series and three shorts. She filled the role of an associate producer for Amelia’s 25th, a 2013 film starring Electra Stone and Danny Trejo. She also produced 2011’s short I Killed Harry Hartman.
For two more shorts, she was a production coordinator for Double Agent in 2013 and a production assistant for 2014’s Plottin on Caesar the Woman Pleaser. 2017 marked Viscuso’s next career step. Since then, she’s been credited as a studio executive for four TV shows: The Mist (2017), Scream: The TV Series (2019), Spy Kids: Mission Critical (2019) and Sissy (2020).
Viscuso was also on an episode of My Super Sweet 16 in 2005.
Prior to Legendary, Viscuso worked for Weinstein Co./Dimension, Tomorrow Studios, and The Gersh Agency, according to Deadline.
Viscuso said it was a hard decision to leave Legendary but is living a chapter she’s ‘dreamt about’
Viscuso shared Deadline’s article last May via her Instagram page (see above). She confirmed that she had left Legendary for her new venture with Vertigo. And although she admitted it was a difficult decision to make, Viscuso said that she was now in her dream role.
“Genre storytelling has been the beating heart of who I am ever since I was a child,” she wrote in the post’s caption. “I feel incredibly fortunate to be able to translate that passion into a career, and to have done so with some of the best in the business. The past few years at Legendary were an unparalleled adventure, and the decision to leave was one of the hardest yet. That said, this next chapter is one I’ve dreamt about for ages and could not be more excited for. I can’t wait to show you what we’re building at Vertigo. Stay tuned!”
Through Instagram in December, she also reacted to the news that Amazon had acquired the rights to Warhammer 40,000, saying that she hoped to do the game’s community “proud.” “Building a cinematic universe with Henry, our team at Amazon, and the empire that is Games Workshop, is an honor and a pleasure,” Viscuso wrote.
