Henry just revealed that he won't be in The Witcher's fourth season!
While Henry Cavill's comeback as Superman has delighted fans, many are saddened by his departure from The Witcher. For those who are unaware, the Enola Holmes 2 star Millie Bobby Brown recently said that he will not be returning for the popular show's fourth season. Reports surfaced shortly after that suggesting that his return as the DC superhero may be the cause of this.
According to insiders, Henry's management believes he is currently a movie star. The actor will reportedly make another film appearance after his cameo in Black Adam, which is Man of Steel 2. While some people were happy to have him back, others were sad to see him leave the programme. As a result, fans started an online petition to get him back.
Fans frequently start petitions calling for an actor or actress to leave a production or come back. People have already started petitions calling for Johnny Depp to reprise his role as Captain Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean 6. In addition, there are petitions calling for Amber Heard to be dropped from Aquaman 2. Now it's Henry Cavill's chance to make a comeback in The Witcher.
The petition was started on Change.org with the slogan "NETFLIX: You MUST replace the authors and maintain Henry Cavill as The Witcher." It has gathered more than 100,000 or 1 lakh signatures in just one week. It currently has 1,26,299 signs, and that number keeps increasing.
Cavill was a big part of why the Netflix series became so popular. The preceding seasons rose to the top of the streaming service's most popular ones. Henry has not acknowledged nor refuted the rumour that he departed the programme because of Superman.
Liam Hemsworth will take on the role of Geralt of Rivia for The Witcher season 4 in lieu of Henry Cavill.
The petition's summary states, in part: "Let's show them that none of us Witcher fans will support them and will stop watching the show (and possibly cancelling our subscriptions) after The Witcher season 3 is over in terms of pure numbers (and thus lost money, since that's all they really care about). Netflix is only able to exist because we all pay them a monthly fee to create material that we find amusing. Unfortunately, all available evidence indicates that the production staff is making decisions that are utterly against the interests of the viewers, or us."
Why Henry Cavill is Removed from The Witcher?
It's unclear why Henry Cavill is quitting The Witcher, despite the popular theories. Many have hypothesised that this is as a result of him moving to the DC Universe to reprise his Man of Steel role as Superman in several forthcoming films. Some fans have hypothesised that Cavill's decision to leave is motivated by his dissatisfaction with the show's artistic direction. Cavill's remarks from last year, in which he said he'd be sticking around for years to come provided the series didn't degrade in quality, lend some validity to the latter hypothesis.
Cavill makes reference to Andrzej Sapkowski, whose original books served as the inspiration for the video game The Witcher. Additionally, Sapkowski has already praised Cavill for the part, even saying that he would always stand in for Geralt.
"I was ecstatic by Henry Cavill's portrayal of The Witcher, "Sapkowski spoke with People. "He is an absolute pro. Henry gave his face to Geralt, and that was how Viggo Mortensen gave his to Aragorn, and it will always be that way.
The Witcher's third season will debut in 2023. Fans don't yet know when to anticipate Liam Hemsworth's fourth season.
