Henry Cavill Replaced By Liam Hemsworth as Geralt in THE WITCHER Season 4!?
Um, so Netflix has officially announced that The Witcher has been renewed for a fourth season, but here’s the thing… Henry Cavill will not return to the role of Geralt of Rivia. The main character of the series will now be played by Liam Hemsworth, and as a fan of the show, I’m left feeling confused and conflicted.
Cavill is one of the main reasons why The Witcher is so freakin’ awesome! Honestly, I don’t see the point of continuing the series without him. I just do not see Hemsworth in this role and I kind of wish that Netflix would have just ended it.
Hemsworth is best known for starring in the Hunger Games franchise and recently starred in Quibi drama Most Dangerous Game. It’s so weird that he was the one cast to replace Cavill. There’s no reason given as to why Cavill left, but I imagine maybe he is going going to put his focus and attention on his Superman sequel?
Cavill said, “My journey as Geralt of Rivia has been filled with both monsters and adventures, and alas, I will be laying down my medallion and my swords for Season 4. In my stead, the fantastic Mr Liam Hemsworth will be taking up the mantle of the White Wolf. As with the greatest of literary characters, I pass the torch with reverence for the time spent embodying Geralt and enthusiasm to see Liam’s take on this most fascinating and nuanced of men. Liam, good sir, this character has such a wonderful depth to him, enjoy diving in and seeing what you can find.”
Hemsworth added, “As a Witcher fan I’m over the moon about the opportunity to play Geralt of Rivia. Henry Cavill has been an incredible Geralt, and I’m honoured that he’s handing me the reins and allowing me to take up the White Wolf’s blades for the next chapter of his adventure. Henry, I’ve been a fan of yours for years and was inspired by what you brought to this beloved character. I may have some big boots to fill, but I’m truly excited to be stepping into The Witcher world. ”
What do you think about this madness!? What do you think about Liam Hemsworth replace Henry Cavill as Geralt?
