It is soon the farewell of Henry Cavill who will therefore not be in season 4 of The Witcher. But his successor should wreak havoc if those involved in the Netflix series are to be believed.
We will have to get used to it, the series The Witcher is about to be totally upset. Part 2 of Season 3 will soon be available on Netflix. The SVOD platform will put the last episodes online from July 27, 2023. A pivotal moment for the television show whose cast will be reviewed. Henry Cavill, who enthusiastically and successfully played Geralt de Riv, sets sail for creative disputes with the screenwriters. The approximations and other liberties taken did not please the former Superman. A departure that will sink this episodic adaptation of The Witcher ? No. The teams are formal, the arrival of Liam Hemsworth will be a fantastic thing. A wonderful replacement…or maybe not…
The Witcher production unanimous on Henry Cavill’s replacement
The Witcher season 4 will be done without Henry Cavill who decided to distance himself from this adaptation. An inveterate fan of Andrzej Sapkowski’s novels and games, he did not always appreciate the decisions that were made by the production. He also made a scathing little comment about it. “It was a pleasure and an honor to work with you. You bring so much nuance and detail to these characters, which often run the risk of being oversimplified, and what you did with them took so much work and attention and effort. Believe me, working with you has been the greatest pleasure. So, I just want to say that I will miss you”.
A surprise departure for the various actors like Freya Allan (Ciri). The Witcher season 3, which will be available in full on Netflix’s July 2023 releases, will be the last with Cavill. And after ? Liam Hemsworth (The Hunger Games), the little brother of Chris Hemsworth (Thor), will take over. But can he compete with the previous Geralt de Riv? For executive producer Tomek Baginski, there’s no doubt. ” What I can say is that I’ve seen Liam made up as The Witcher before. With the Witcher look. And he looks awesome » (through Express Online).
Joey Batey, Jaskier in the series The Witcher, had already teased his make-up tests. “I’ve seen a few of her make-up tests, but I’m not going to say more”. MyAnna Buring, aka Tissaia de Vries, is also extremely impatient. “I just feel huge gratitude for what Cavill has put in place, and huge, huge excitement that Liam is taking over. I think it will be really, really fun » she said.
A new Geralt of Rivia for season 4
Season 4 of The Witcher will change the habits of the series, but also transform the character of Geralt de Riv. The hero will be visibly very different from that of Henry Cavill. “We have a very, very good plan to introduce our new Geralt and our new vision of Geralt with Liam. I’m not going to dwell on this because it would be a huge spoiler, but it’s also very, very close to the ideas of the books, especially the fifth book. But at the same time it will be a new Geralt, a new face for this character and I think it will be very, very exciting to see” said Tomek Baginski. Change, why not, but if it takes the novels even further away, it might rage with the fans who are already not taking off.
The Witcher season 4 is rumored to add vampire Emiel Regis Rohellec Terzieff-Godefroy to its cast of characters. A protagonist present both in the novels and in CD Projekt Red games like The Witcher 3, or the huge expansion Blood & Wine.
