The Witcher Fans Shouldn’t Get Their Hopes Up For A Henry Cavill Return – Looper

Even though his schedule is clear in the absence of Superman-related commitments, as Variety reports, Henry Cavill returning to “The Witcher” is simply not in the cards at this point. Netflix has confirmed that its plan for the series remains unchanged despite these developments. Production on “The Witcher” Season 4 will continue with Liam Hemsworth in the role of Geralt of Rivia, where he will likely remain for the rest of the show’s lifespan. Of course, this could suddenly change beyond Season 4, but for the time being, don’t hold your breath over seeing Cavill back as Geralt.

At the same time, one has to wonder if Cavill would even want to return to “The Witcher” should the opportunity arise. After all, he’s hinted that some of the creative decisions behind the Netflix hit didn’t sit right with him as someone who has such a deep appreciation for the “Witcher” franchise. “I’m a huge fan of the books and staying loyal to them. It’s about making sure that story happens without too much in the way of diversions or side things going on to muddy the waters,” he said in a December 2021 interview, also telling Total Film that he had to really push to make his version of Geralt game-accurate.

It goes without saying that Henry Cavill has had some terrible luck as of late, and for his sake, one can only hope it turns around. It’s just too bad we won’t get to see him take on Superman or Geralt of Rivia again — two characters he wears his love for on his sleeve.
