After a season 3 far from being unanimous and a replacement for Henry Cavill even more criticized, the continuation of the series The Witcher is off on the wrong foot. She will nevertheless be able to count on a new talented actor.
October 2022, Netflix took everyone by surprise by announcing the departure of Henry Cavill. The actor was going to hang up his White Wolf mantle at the end of the third season to make way for a new Gerald of Rivia: Liam Hemsworth. The little brother of the MCU’s Thor, best known for having played Gale in The Hunger Games, still sparks a real outcry today. Fans of the program want the return of their Superman who was stripped of his role in the new DCU. Netflix will not give up and we will have to do without it. Season 4 of The Witcher is far from starting off under the best auspices, but a talented actor has officially joined the ranks.
Here’s who Regis will play in The Witcher season 4
No offense to Liam Hemsworth’s detractors, Netflix’s The Witcher series will continue without Henry Cavill. After a most disappointing season 3 in the eyes of many fans of the work and the program, some hoped that the sequel would not survive the writers’ and actors’ strike which hit Hollywood. This will not be the case, and the streaming giant is intensifying pre-production in parallel with the filming of season 4 later in the year. No doubt in an attempt to soothe the hearts most bruised by the departure of the old Geralt, Regis’ interpreter has been announced. Once again, Deadline had the scoop: Laurence Fishburne will join season 4 of The Witcher.
A very good pick for Netflix, the actor being particularly appreciated by geeks. Although he has played in many films such as Apocalypse Now, Man of Steel and the John Wick films, it is above all for his role as Morpheus in The Matrix that he is known. He will finally lend his features to the mysterious Regis in season 4 of The Witcher. Introduced in the novel The Baptism of Fire, the character’s arrival was particularly awaited by lovers of the work. Without saying too much, we will simply describe this more than four hundred year old vampire as a “world-renowned barber-surgeon with a mysterious past.” “.
Just like Liam Hemsworth, we will have to wait before discovering him in this new role. Filming for season 4 of The Witcher will begin at an unspecified date this year. If Netflix doesn’t reveal the look of Henry Cavill’s replacement by then, it’s a safe bet that stolen images from the set will be released in the meantime. The sequel to The Witcher should in any case not arrive on our screens before 2025.
