Shocking news is coming for the hit series The Witcher, which no one would ever have expected. We are not talking about a cancellation, of course, but the news will shock likewise the fans: the protagonist of the series will no longer be Henry Cavill. The actor decided to permanently leave the series and it will be replaced by Liam Hemsworth!
La news is official it is spread directly by Henry Cavill himself through his profile Instagram. Here is what was said:
"Some news to share from the Continent ...
My journey as Geralt of Rivia has been filled with monsters and adventures, and alas, for the fourth season I'll have to lay down my medallion and swords. In my place, the fantastic Liam Hemsworth will take the mantle of the White Wolf. As with the greatest literary characters, I pass the baton with reverence for the time spent embodying Geralt and with the excitement of seeing Liam's interpretation of this fascinating and nuanced man.
Liam, good sir, this character has wonderful depth, have fun diving in and seeing what you can find. "
The actor who will become the new protagonist, Liam Hemsworth, he always replied through Instagram:
As a Witcher fan I am over the moon for the opportunity to play Geralt of Rivia. Henry Cavill was an incredible Geralt and I am honored that he handed me the reins and allowed me to take up the blades of the White Wolf for the next chapter of his adventure.
Henry, I've been a fan of yours for years and have been inspired by what you brought to this beloved character. I will also have some big boots to fill, but I am really excited to enter the world of The Witcher.
There are not motivations clear on why Henry Cavill made this tough decision, but it is no coincidence that a few days ago the famous actor declared that he will resume the role of Superman in the new film about "The Man of Steel". Could this be the reason why such an important role will abound?
