In Brazil to promote season 3 of “The Witcher”, Henry Cavill could not help but tackle the writers of the Netflix series.
Professional through and through, Henry Cavill was present this weekend at the Tudum convention in Brazil, to promote the third season of The Witcher, his last in the role of the witcher Geralt de Riv. The first part of this season 3 will be available from June 29, the second from July 27.
It’s no secret that Henry Cavill is a huge fan of video games The Witcher, but also seven books written by Andrzej Sapkowski. While the announcement of his departure from the show seemed tied to his aborted return as Superman, it was eventually revealed that he decided to leave the show due to the liberties taken by the television adaptation with the characters. Witcher novels.
Qualified for “hard” by showrunner Lauren Schmidt Hissrich because of his many interventions on the script, Henry Cavill will be replaced from season 4 by Liam Hemsworth in the role of Geralt.
Despite everything present at Tudum, the British actor therefore wanted to pay tribute to his playing partners… but also to settle accounts with the screenwriter.
“I will turn to my partners here present, because it has been a pleasure and an honor to work with you”he said, before addressing a spade to the scriptwriters of the program:
You bring so much nuance and detail to these characters, yet it’s so easy to give in to the temptation to simplify them. What you have done requires a lot of hard work, attention and effort, and believe me, working with you has been a great pleasure.
Translation: Henry Cavill is unhappy that the heroes of The Witcher have been simplified and stripped of their nuances, and those responsible are not their interpreters but the screenwriters of the program. The latter therefore does not seem to regret his choice to leave the Netflix series!
While the role of Superman will soon be entrusted to a new actor following the reboot of the DC Comics franchise, the 40-year-old comedian will soon be the headliner of The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, Guy Ritchie’s new film, but also from the television adaptation of the Warhammer 40,000 franchise.
Season 3 of The Witcher is available exclusively on Netflix from June 29 (part 1) and July 27 (part 2).
