"Toss a coin to your witcher and spare a thought for Netflix's casting department. After three seasons, star and mega-nerd Henry Cavill left the title role of Netflix's The Witcher over supposed "creative differences." Liam Hemsworth was chosen to take on the role in the upcoming Season 4, but calling hardcore fans skeptical of the sudden recasting would be an understatement."
"Donning a long wig that evokes his brother Chris' role as Thor, Hemsworth's Geralt has the same gruff voice and matter-of-fact demeanor as Cavill, but doesn't quite seem to have the same passion. Unfortunately, Liam Hemsworth won't get that much of a chance to make his mark on the franchise, as The Witcher will end with Season 5. Still, a full Season 4 of Hemsralt might be enough to convince the fandom to accept this new form."
Henry Cavill departed the title role of Geralt after three seasons citing supposed "creative differences," and Liam Hemsworth has been cast to play Geralt in Season 4. Netflix released a clip showing Hemsworth's Geralt fighting a wraith, featuring a long wig, gruff voice, and matter-of-fact demeanor similar to Cavill but seemingly less passionate. The series will conclude with Season 5, giving Hemsworth one full season plus the finale to establish the role. Fan skepticism is strong, though Season 4 could convince hardcore fans or at least ease casual viewers into accepting the recast.
