HenryCavill made headlines last week when he announced he wouldn't return to TheWitcher. However, is it wrong to say Cavill is a better Geralt than Superman?
Henry Cavill sure loves getting people talking. This week, Cavill returned alongside Millie Bobbie Brown in the safe and charming Enola Holmes 2, reprising his role as a hulking and slightly less capable Sherlock Holmes. More importantly, the actor donned the red and blue again with a cameo appearance at the end of Black Adam.
The show made many changes to the source material, including altering certain characters’ fates, changing major storylines, and playing fast and loose with the lore. Controversy will always arise whenever an adaptation changes aspects of the source material. However, The Witcher‘s main problem is its lack of a clear vision of what it wants to be, a confusion shared by everyone in front of and behind the camera.
With a divisive second season and news that the show’s writer’s room dislikes the source material, Cavill’s exit seems to make sense. His fans believe the show failed him, while trades and insiders try to beat each other and find the real reason behind his departure. However, few are wondering if Cavill should’ve left the show, especially considering the ink isn’t dry on his Superman contract; according to some, there might not even be one. So was he right to leave? Probably not.
Season 2 First Look Clip: Geralt & Ciri | The Witcher Season 2 allows Cavill more room to explore Geralt’s psyche. Placing his tender side front and center as he finds himself caring for Ciri and mourning the supposedly dead Yennefer, Cavill finds new layers to complete his portrayal of Geralt. The result is a comprehensive take on a character who defies people’s expectations.
And yet, one can’t help but think that Cavill is a better fit with Geralt than Superman. The Last Son of Krypton is a shameless boy scout; he is a mama’s boy, a trooper, and an unassuming goofball. Superman is the sort of unabashedly cheery person that can only exist in comic books. He is too much but is never annoying or tiresome. He is the ultimate role model, a living, breathing ray of sunshine. That’s difficult to portray. Many actors have tried, but only a few have truly succeeded.
