Henry Cavill Will Not Return to The Witcher Despite Superman Exit
Now that Henry Cavill's Superman has been scrapped there is one question on every The Witcher fan's mind – could Henry please reprise his role as Geralt of Rivia? It seems logical for the fandom but the Cavill's return as Geralt, just like his return as Superman, is totally ruled out.
According to a report by Variety, The Witcher Season 4 is moving forward unchanged, which basically means that Liam Hemsworth will inhabit the character of Geralt. Period. It remains to be seen whether or not he will be able to deliver because, obviously, the fans will watch his performance closely.
Henry Cavill has set a high standard and everything Hemsworth will do on screen will be scrutinized by the restless fandom.
The Witcher series' fans might certainly be concerned with Liam Hemsworth but both the Netflix officials and the show's team are pretty sure that the actor will have no problems starring as Geralt. Lauren Hissrich, The Witcher's producer has said many times in her recent interviews that she is excited about Season 4 and that fans will love Hemsworth's Geralt.
It is time to move on, and Henry Cavill understands it perfectly well. The actor is looking into the future with an open heart and has signed up for Amazon's Warhammer 40K series currently in development. Little is known about the upcoming project apart from the fact that Cavill is attached to the adaptation of the popular miniature wargame – as per The Hollywood Reporter.
It's also been reported that Amazon is at the final stage of the long-lasting talks to acquire the rights to the tabletop game.
Warhammer 40,000 which was released in 1987 by UK-based Games Workshop has become the most popular miniature game in the world and Henry Cavill is no stranger to playing it. More so, he is heavily addicted to the game. In one of his interviews he has said that he adores painting the figures, building armies and send them to fight with enemies.
Cavill's fans believe starring in the Warhammer 40K series can be a great asset for him. They say that the actor, who is a big Warhammer fan, can do it justice as long as the writers don't spoil it – the way they spoiled The Witcher show. One of the redditors recalled that a lot of people initially hated him being cast as Geralt but they changed their mind after they saw him in action. So, they believe that Cavill will be able to surprise a lot of sceptics.
