Liam Hemsworth is to replace Henry Cavill in The Witcher season 3, and fans might not be open to this change. It was just this last week of October that Netflix came up with a brand new announcement about The Witcher. They have renewed the series for a fourth season after two installments saw an insane amount of success. Well, this happy news also came with a shocking discovery.
Turns out that Henry Cavill will not return in the fourth series. There is nothing to worry about for the third one because filming and production processes are already halfway through for the same, but we really need to think about a season 4. The platform has announced that Henry would not be reprising his role as Geralt of Rivia. The sword of the witcher will now be passed over to Liam Hemsworth in this sudden cast change.
Liam Hemsworth Will Replace Henry Cavill As Geralt of Rivia – Fan’s Response
Now, fans are having a mixed reaction regarding the same because we have now set out eyes to look at Henry in the blonde wig hunting down abnormal creatures and saying, “hmm,” even if someone is saying something serious. Although, we should not be too judgemental about Liam Hemsworth too.
2022 saw a huge uprising in the blonde wigs with House of the Dragon, and even though when we saw the inside images of the shooting and thought how weird the characters were looking in it, we ultimately grew accustomed to them as the Targaryens. Now, it is our turn to give The Witcher a chance as well because, believe it or not. The blonde wig does wonders for people. Now, let us talk about Liam.
To an average person, who might not know who Liam is, he is quite famous for three things in his life. For being the hotter brother of Chris Hemsworth (Thor), for being the infamous on-again, off-again ex of singer Miley Cyrus and for his role in The Hunger Games. As for Cavill, he is also working in a fictional DC Superhero franchise and is going to return as Superman.
This will need him to clear his schedule and drop the contract from Netflix. Now, Liam and Henry both have that no-nonsense, serious the whole day, have no emotions, and fight crime type of thing going on with their facial features and physique. This is what makes them both a great fit for the role.
Is Liam Hemsworth A Witcher Video Game Fan?
Now, The Witcher series by Netflix is not new to controversies. This means facing a backlash for every other thing or two. It is because the creators are trying to make a show based on a video game where millions of people have spent hours playing as the witcher character.
They all feel a bit connected to him, and to see the character on screen as someone different, with a whole new personality than they thought he would have, is a bit difficult. After the fans finally made up their mind about Geralt and his role on the show, to have it replaced in a minute is kind of new and something that nobody expected even one bit.
While in an interview for the promotion of the series, Henry talked about how he himself is a Witcher fan. As a kid, or in his young days, he used to play the game for hours and hours more. This definitely helped him understand the character more and then to step into the version that was wanted of him by the showrunner and the director.
Now, it is yet not known how Liam feels about the role and whether he, too, has spent house playing The Witcher video game. Either way, we are confident that Liam will be easily able to transcend into this new role given to him and make it his own version of awesome.
