ImpinAintEasy October 29, 2022 Share October 29, 2022 That’s terrible news. Absolute show-wrecker. Cavill was the show for me, and this is coming from a person who read the books and played the video games before watching the show. Cavill was the perfect Geralt and there are very few actors who could pull off the role. You have to wonder if deciding to film seasons 4 and 5 back to back forced this. If so, it’s a gigantic blunder. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/94713-the-witcher-in-the-media/page/3/#findComment-7726205

Henry actually took a pay cut to play Geralt because he loved the character so much and he really wanted the part. But this news doesn't shock me. Henry has been saying constantly he wants the show to stick closer to the source material. The showrunner has been lying about sticking to the source material. She has used this show for her own virtue signaling and nepotism (the writers were friends of hers) and nothing else. I always knew that unless he was locked down in a 5 Seasons contract, Henry would eventually pull out. Plus this really surprised no one after a writer just a few days ago came out and said the writers on the show actively hated the games/books and would make fun of them. Now he got Superman back (with a massive paycheck probably and the guarantee for a faithful character representation) so he said 'goodbye'.

MsNewsradio October 29, 2022 Share October 29, 2022 I understand why he would back out (either the rumors about the lack of respect toward the source material or simply getting a higher paycheck from film commitments as Superman seem decent enough reasons), but Liam Hemsworth is just the wrong replacement for this. He had neither the grit or gravitas that Cavill has in this role. I beyond cannot picture it, and I think they really shot themselves in the foot with this casting change. Looks like the show will end with Season 3 for me. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/94713-the-witcher-in-the-media/page/3/#findComment-7726395

Enero October 30, 2022 Share October 30, 2022 Yeah. I think Cavill moving on has more to do with his Superman gig than how the show deviated from the source material. I mean it’s rare that books turned into movies/TV shows follow the source material. Many times they deviate sometimes quite drastically for dramatic affect. All that said, I think Liam Hemsworth is a terrible choice. He cannot act and has no charisma. I doubt he’ll even come close to carrying the show the way Cavill did. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/94713-the-witcher-in-the-media/page/3/#findComment-7726892

I don't see him dropping it just for Superman unless forced to by WB or Netflix. Or perhaps a contract negotiation gone poorly, especially if the rumors about him fighting with the writer/show runner over how Geralt was written. But, if it was a choice between the two, I lost out because I could live without Superman but, I really loved Geralt/The Witcher.

Yeah, it’s a shocker to me as he was very vocal about loving the part. He has hinted at differing opinions as to how the show should be written/presented, so maybe he is leaving in disgust, or was ousted. But still, I have to wonder if there isn’t more to it. I’m definitely out. I only watched for Henry and I’m not a Liam Hemsworth fan.
