The actor, an avid fan of the novels and video games, has long made it known that he wasn’t completely happy with Geralt’s dialogue and the series’ overall direction.
Cavill announced his decision to leaveThe Witcherin October 2022, saying in a statement: “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 four.”
“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.”
In an interview with Philstar, Cavill elaborated on the situation, saying:
“It’s important for me to have the character be three-dimensional. And it’s tricky to do, as I was saying earlier because there’s a certain vision and there’s a certain set storyline and plot. And so, it was about me trying to find Geralt’s place within that. All of my asks and requests were along the lines of just being faithful to the source material.”
One Twitter user wrote,
You have completely destroyed this show. There’s no plot. The slow motion fight scenes with blood flying are too long and boring. The men’s hair looks awful. Ciri has on too much pancake make up. Snooze fest. No wonder Henry is leaving.
