The Witcher showrunner Lauren Hissrich responds to fan speculation on why Henry Cavill left his role as Geralt of Rivia amid a press tour for the upcoming spinoff TV show The Witcher: Blood Origin. The Witcher is an adaptation of a series of novels by author Andrzej Sapkowski. The Witcher premiered on Netflix in 2019 and quickly became one of the streamer's most popular shows, thanks mainly to Cavill's spellbinding turn as lead Geralt.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Speaking to NME to promote the spinoff The Witcher: Blood Origin, Hissrich touched upon the fans' speculation on why Cavill left The Witcher. According to the showrunner, any reports of unpleasantness between The Witcher team and Cavill are unfounded, as she states their relationship is built on mutual respect.
I do have a lot to say and I think that there’s a lot of, you know… we’ll obviously never get into exactly why Henry left, all of the reasons, but I can say it’s been a mutually respectful relationship… So please, please, please come back in six months when we can talk.Why Henry Cavill Might Have Left The Witcher Several possible theories are circulating on social media among The Witcher fans about why Cavill decided to leave Geralt behind.
Another popular theory links Cavill's departure from The Witcher to his return as Superman in the DC movie Black Adam, before DC Head James Gunn announced a reboot and Cavill's Superman exit a couple of months later. The strenuous filming schedule for a season of The Witcher, which has ranged from 5 to 12 months, could've been an obstacle to Cavill starring in a Superman project, with the actor choosing the Man of Steel over Geralt in the end.
Can Liam Hemsworth Succeed As Geralt? The Witcher season 3 will be Cavill's last. Liam Hemsworth, of The Hunger Games fame, will take over the reins of Geralt from Cavill come The Witcher season 4. Hemsworth's an interesting choice for the role, as the actor should portray a completely different side of Geralt from what The Witcher has seen, given his past performances.
