We announced it to you yesterday: Henry Cavill and The Witcher, it’s over! The actor abandons the character of the white wolf to put on the cape of Superman. This is not the official speech of Netflix or Henry Cavill, but the link between the announcement of his return in the role of Superman and that of his departure leaves no room for doubt.
The news sent The Witcher fan community into a frenzy. Many expressed their anger and sadness on Twitter.
“The Witcher Fans Watching Season 4 With Liam Hemsworth Instead of Henry Cavill“
“I’m just shocked at Henry Cavill’s departure from The Witcher, this show was just created around his image, everything he became was because of his charisma, I understand his departure but that remains shocking.“
“When I find out that Henry Cavill will no longer be playing Geralt of Rivia in The Witcher series….. #TheWitcher #HenryCavill“
“The intern who runs The Witcher account and watches everyone take in the news“
“Netflix trying to convince Witcher fans that Liam Hemsworth is a good replacement for Henry Cavill.“
“Yes, I wanted Henry Cavil to be Superman again, but not at the cost of losing him as Geralt in The Witcher.“
“NO HENRY CAVILL, COME BACK FOR THE WITCHER WE NEED YOU. PLEASE DON’T LET LIAM HEMSWORTH RUIN THIS!!!!!!“
Others go completely on another theory…
“Henry Cavill is leaving The Witcher after begging Netflix for the role. And being the franchise’s biggest fan makes the report that the screenwriters hate the books all the more plausible. They kicked this man out of the show. That’s crazy.“
“Henry Cavill knew too much about The Witcher source material, so Netflix got rid of him.“
