Season four of Netflix’sThe Witcheris set to arrive next and with it comes a major casting change, namely the charismatic Henry Cavill will be no more.
Ok, saying that Henry Cavill will be no more is a little dramatic. He’s still alive and well, as far as we’re aware. However, in terms of playing the leading role of Geralt of Rivia in theNetflixlive-action adaptation, Mr Cavill will no longer be gracing us with his presence in the fourth season. Instead, that honour will soon belong to Hunger Games star, Liam Hemsworth. At least fans can get their dose of Henry Cavill in his upcomingWarhammer 40k cinematic universe.

None of us know for sure as to whyHenry Cavill is leavingThe Witcher. Some have speculated that it’s due to creative differences between him and the Netflix showrunners. We can only speculate. Either way, Liam Hemsworth has some big shoes to fill and whether or not he can suitably fill that void, remains to be seen.

At the time of writing, we haven’t seen whatLiam Hemsworthwill look like inThe WitcherNetflix series. Yet, that hasn’t stopped fans from creating deepfakes of Liam Hemsworth as Geralt of Rivia and while this concept doesn’t look as bad as I thought it would, much of the fanbase is not sold on this prospect. Granted, watching the deepfake video of Liam Hensworth with Cavill’s voice is weird, but he won’t sound like that in season four, right? He also looks way to young, but we’ll ignore that for now too.
“Liam doesn’t have this kind of older wiser look to him. It’s like the Disney version of Geralt. Henry is the perfect match, he is one of us - fans. He was so excited for the whole project. Liam will be trying to replicate the impossible,” said martinam7806. “Without Henry’s Geralt voice, I don’t think so. RIP Witcher,” replied an unimpressed Broomrider1492.
“It’s not about the looks but Henry’s voice is the main highlight of the character… Without Henry Cavill, I have no interest and it’s not that Liam Hemsworth is bad or anything but without Henry Cavill it just isn’t gonna work for me,” exclaimed abhishekghosh2686.
