There was a mix of shock, horror, and downright disappointment when “The Witcher” cast mix-up was announced. The news that Henry Cavill will be replaced by Liam Hemsworth sent “The Witcher” fans into a tailspin. If anyone had any doubt about how “The Witcher” fans really feel about Henry Cavill as Geralt, they just need a quick glance at his Instagram feed.
“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 his Instagram page. “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,” he continued. Cavill finished by informing Hemsworth that Geralt “has such a wonderful depth to him” and advised the Aussie actor to dig deep and enjoy playing the character.

Cue the outrage. “And just like that, the show crashes and burns,” wrote one fan on Instagram. “I loved your enthusiasm for this character and how much the series (games and books). I am pretty sure I won’t watch the witcher without you being a part of it,” another vowed. They shared that they couldn’t imagine the show without Cavill.
