Nobody really expected this. Henry Cavill is leaving The Witcherand will be replaced by Liam Hemsworth starring, Geralt of Rivia.
The Witcher is a fantasy series. Netflix based on the books of the Polish writer Andrzej Sapkowski. Netflix turned it into a series and has already released two seasons to great critical and public success. There is also a video game saga of the same name that helped Netflix win over an audience.
Much of this great success lies in Henry Cavillactor who gives life Geralt of Rivia, the protagonist is a monster-slayer sorcerer. Cavill’s charisma and good physique for the role, as well as the fact that he is an absolute fan of books and games, managed to win over fans of books and games.
But yesterday, Saturday, suddenly Netflix announced the filming of seasons 4 and 5, and in the same statement confirms that Henry Cavill will be replaced Liam Hemsworth starring.
Goodbye Henry Cavill in The Witcher
“My journey as Geralt of Rivia has been full of monsters and adventures and unfortunately I’m leaving my medallion and swords for season 4.Cavill confirms this in a statement.
“In my place, the fantastic Liam Hemsworth will take on the mantle of the White Wolf. Like all great literary characters, I pass the torch with reverence for my time as Geralt and with excitement to see Liam as this fantastic and subtle man.It.
Liam is good sir this character has great depth and loves diving and what you can find.“.
Own hemsworth also participates in the statement: “As a fan of The Witcher, I’m thrilled to be able to play Geralt of Rivia. Henry Cavill was an incredible man and I am honored that he is handing over the reins to me and allowing me to grab the blades of the White Wolf for the next chapter of his adventures..
Henry, I’ve been a fan of yours for many years and was inspired by what you brought to the look. I may have to wear some pretty big boots, but I’m very excited to enter the world of The Witcher.“.
Why is there a new Geralt of Rivia in The Witcher?
Everyone seems to embrace change, but No one has given an explanation as to why this happened.
Henry Cavill just finished filming season 3 from Witcherso we’re still going to see him in another season as Geralt. But in seasons 4 and 5 This will Liam Hemsworth. The actor is known for his role in the Hunger Games films.
During the filming of that season 3, an “incident” occurred. Cavill unexpectedly asked Netflix for a couple days off and he left to make a cameo appearance as Superman for the movie Black Adam. He later admitted that he “lied” to Netflix as he left without telling them he was going to do another movie.
It is not uncommon for actors to ask for a day off in the middle of filming, this is usually not a problem for a series because they can film other scenes in which the specified actor does not appear. But perhaps Netflix didn’t take this “lie” well and decided to do without Cavill. It would be strange, because they know that this is a key element of one of their star series.
Or perhaps now that he’s confirmed he’s going to be Superman in future films, Henry Cavill will be paid more for other work, otherwise he will not be able to balance the schedule with Netflix.
UPDATE: US media claims that Cavill is leaving because the writers of the series laughed at the books and games, while he asked them to be true to the original material.
Let’s see if the reason is officially leaked, but the reality is very harsh: Henry Cavill will be replaced Liam Hemsworth in Witcher. Some fans are already asking Netflix cancel the series. It will take a long time to get used to the new Geralt of Rivia.
