The fourth season of Netflix’s The Witcher will not include Henry Cavill, which came as very terrible news to the show’s fans over the weekend.

Witcher, Superman, and Sherlock Holmes

British actor Henry William Dalgliesh Cavill was born on May 5, 1983, and his last name is Cavill. He is well-known for playing characters such as Charles Brandon in The Tudors on Showtime from 2007 to 2010, Superman in the DC Extended Universe from 2013 to 2022, Geralt of Rivia in The Witcher on Netflix from 2019 to 2023, and Sherlock Holmes in the Netflix movies Enola Holmes from 2020 and its 2022 sequel.

With parts in the movie versions of The Count of Monte Cristo (2002) and I Capture the Castle, Cavill launched his acting career (2003).

Later, he played minor roles in various TV shows, such as The Inspector Lynley Mysteries on the BBC, Midsomer Murders on ITV, and The Tudors on Showtime.

Since then, he has made appearances in movies including Tristan & Isolde (2006), Stardust (2007), and Immortals (2011). He has been in the espionage movies The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (2015) and Mission: Impossible – Fallout since his breakout role as Superman (2018).

He was and still perfect as the Witcher

“The wonderful Mr. Liam Hemsworth will assume the role of the White Wolf in my place. I hand the mantle to Liam with admiration for the time spent inhabiting Geralt and excitement to see how he portrays this most intriguing and nuanced of individuals, as with the best literary characters.

The report has sparked skepticism, criticism, and perhaps future boycott threats against The Witcher. So why did Henry Cavill decide to put his weapons down?

Most people believe that the surprise departure has something to do with Cavill’s agreement to reprise his role as Superman in the DC Universe for a number of movies over the coming several years.

There is little doubt that assuming the role of Man of Steel would leave little time for exploring The Continent in search of monsters. Others have noted that Cavill may have truly revealed the cause for his departure years ago.

As you presumably already know, Cavill is a huge fan of The Witcher, both the CD Projekt RED video games and the original Andrzej Sapkowski novels.

There are other examples from earlier interviews that are presently making the rounds on social media that imply Cavill wasn’t too pleased with how the Netflix show treated the source material.

Fans have found earlier conversations with Cavill and showrunner Lauren S. Hissrich on Twitter and The Witcher subreddit that say volumes.

There's no way @witchernetflix didn't see this coming. They knew how Henry felt, he was open about it. And they decided they didn't care. pic.twitter.com/IkATFy1wnu

Cavill repeatedly mentions wanting to uphold the showrunner’s vision while still being faithful to the original material, as you can see in the excerpt below.

In the past, Cavill had stated that he was totally dedicated to The Witcher’s seven-season plan, provided that the program could continue to deliver excellent tales that paid tribute to Sapkowski’s work.

It’s possible that Cavill thought it was time to move on given some of the more significant modifications to the plot in The Witcher’s second season and recent claims that the show’s creators “actively despise” the source material.

There was a joke circulating around that Dwayne Johnson can play the Witcher in The Witcher Season 3, but you know Hollywood business.
