On June 29, viewers will be able to see the first five episodes of the third season, which is also the last series in which one of the executive producers of “The Witcher” plays the main role, recently gave an interview to the British “. In it he assured that the plan to introduce the universe new performer of the same role not only exists, but also that, in his opinion, it is also in line with the spirit of Andrzej Sapkowski’s novel.
How will they explain the new Geralt in “The Witcher” after Cavill’s departure?
“I feel it’s important to make it clear that what Henry has built is very, very important to the show. He was a great Geralt and I think we will all miss him. But at the same time, the series continues and the idea of how we introduce Liam – without going too deep into spoilers and details – is very, very true to the spirit of The Witcher,” he promised. How does it have to look? Readers of the books should get some idea of this from this description:
People who have read Andrzej Sapkowski’s books and are familiar with the fifth volume know well that there are many versions of the same story. I think they might like it a lot. So I’m going to miss Henry a lot, but at the same time I’m very excited about Liam and the future. I think he will introduce a different type of energy and it will still be Geralt, but with a different flavor.
Henry Cavill is 40, and Liam Hemsworth, who is to replace him, is 33. The swap gets even more challenging when you read what producer Steve Gaub has to say about the third season and the role of Cavill. – Henry developed this character a lot, he opened up more himself. Geralt here is not only a witcher, he also became a father, and to some extent even a husband. His friendship with Dandelion deepened a lot. There are so many great threads here that Henry has dug into and created an even more believable character. It hurts to hear of his passing, but we have to take it as we do with many other franchises that have featured more than one Doctor Who, James Bond or Spider-Man in the past.
It is worth noting, however, that in the case of the above-mentioned film and television series, with the change of the lead actor, the rest of the cast also changed and a new version of the presented universe was created. Meanwhile, nothing is known about any changes in the cast except for Cavill, so we may still be dealing with a situation where other actors and actresses will pretend that nothing has changed. It may come off artificially.
