![]() But at this point, getting a new Geralt is like getting a new Jon Snow or Don Draper - it’s unthinkable, and downright strange. Clearly, in the IP game, killing a character or wrapping up a show imprinted on by an actor is not an option. The murkiness of Hemsworth’s IMDb page combined with Cavill’s ascendence as Geralt leaves the announcement feeling uninspired. I’d give Hemsworth the benefit of the doubt and say he’d make a solid Geralt if I could remember literally anything he did in The Hunger Games movies as Katniss’ stud bud Gale. “Henry Cavill has been an incredible Geralt, and I’m honoured that he’s handing me the reins and allowing me to take up the White Wolf’s blades for the next chapter of his adventure.” “As a Witcher fan I’m over the moon about the opportunity to play Geralt of Rivia,” Hemsworth posted in a timed response. “I pass the torch with reverence for the time spent embodying Geralt and enthusiasm to see Liam’s take on this most fascinating and nuanced of men.” “My journey as Geralt of Rivia has been filled with both monsters and adventures, and alas, I will be laying down my medallion and my swords for Season 4,” Cavill wrote on Instagram. Geralt would instead be played by Liam Hemsworth, best known for his work on the Hunger Games films. On Saturday, just days after Cavill revealed that his Superman would return to the DC movie universe in some shape or form, Netflix announced that The Witcher would return for season 4, but without its main actor. The Witcher season 3 will arrive on Netflix in 2023, and with it, Cavill’s final bow. And so it was just about bringing a version of me, which is a version of Geralt, into show.” “And having played the game for many, many, many hours, it was something that I had a connection with. ![]() “I really feel a connection to Geralt and who he is and his nature, especially from the books,” Cavill said with a sense of conviction that is pretty much unlike any other actor I’ve ever talked to. In 2019, before the premiere of The Witcher season 1, I asked Cavill how he found his way into the character. Henry Cavill seemed to care more about getting Geralt of Rivia “right” during his tenure on The Witcher than most actors playing real people in prestige biopics.
