"There may be a new actor, Liam Hemsworth, playing Geralt of Rivia in The Witcher Season 4, but as far as the series is concerned, he's still the same character formerly played by Henry Cavill. Regardless, a line uttered by Hemsworth in The Witcher Season 4 trailer caused some backlash from fans who claimed that Geralt would have never said it. Now, showrunner Lauren S. Hissrich has come out and vigorously defended the line."
"It's also a kick-ass line, and I think it's one of those things that it's like, you may go, 'Oh, that's not what my Geralt would say.' Well, it is. It's what our Geralt would say. And in this moment, it suits it perfectly, so I'm eager for audiences to take those moments from the trailer and actually see them in the context of the scenes. And I think it works quite well."
Liam Hemsworth replaces Henry Cavill as Geralt of Rivia in The Witcher Season 4 while the character remains the same within the series. A trailer moment where Geralt draws his sword and says, "Let's f***ing move" prompted backlash from some fans on Reddit who claimed the line was out of character. Showrunner Lauren S. Hissrich defended the line, arguing it fits the battle context, calling it a kick-ass moment, and urging audiences to view it within the full scene. Hemsworth joined because he is a franchise fan. Season 4 debuts October 30; Season 5 has finished filming.
