henry cavill It has been twice in the news again in a week: After delighting fans with his long-awaited return to the role of Superman, he has launched another bombshell: he leaves the series ‘The Witcher’ after the third season, scheduled for broadcast in 2023.
Fans had been pressing for years through social networks so that Cavill, a Briton from 39 years, reincarnate the character devised by DC Comics popularized by Christopher Reeves on the big screen. Cavill has played him in Man of Steel (2013), ‘Batman vs. Superman’ (2016), ‘The Justice League’ (2017) and Zack Snyder’s recent version of ‘The Justice League’ (premiered in 2021 on HBO), but its continuity has not been sealed until the premiere of Black Adam, the new bet from Warner’s super factory.
The shadows on the future were numerous. Cavill had clashes with Warner during the filming of the film directed by Josh Whedon, which had to end up being compatible with the recording of ‘Mission Impossible: Fallout’. It was this week that through her Instagram account.
His bet seems to be directly related to his next professional steps, which have suffered collateral damage. Although next year We can see it in the third season of ‘The Witcher’ the magical saga devised by the Polish best seller Andrzej Sapkowsi and produced on Netflix, this weekend has dropped the bomb that his character Geralt of Rivia will be played in the fourth installment of the franchise by another actor, the Australian Liam Hemsworth.
“My journey as Geralt of Rivia has been full of monsters and adventures and sadly I will be leaving my medallion and swords for Season 4. In my place the fantastic Liam Hemsworth will take up the mantle of the White Wolf. As with others great literary characters, I pass the torch with reverence for my time as Geralt and with excitement to see Liam’s take on this nuanced and fascinating man,” Cavill explains on social media.
He also addresses his successor in the role: “ Liam, this character has such wonderful depth, he enjoys diving in and seeing what he can find”.
Fans of the series have not been slow to turn to social networks to show their reactionsbetween bewilderment, disgust, anger and rejection of the new steps taken by the franchise, which has been accused of moving away from the spirit of the books, with scripts more thought out for the audience and further from the original story and the of video games.
