Over the weekend, The Witcher followers lastly bought their first have a look at Liam Hemsworth’s Geralt of Rivia in motion within the upcoming Season 4, which is now as a result of debut on Netflix on October 30. Hemsworth took over the position after fan-favorite actor Henry Cavill determined to stroll away from the present, and followers of the previous Geralt and former Superman (he has since been changed by David Corenswet in James Gunn’s DCU) have now taken to X/Twitter to share their reactions. Spoiler alert: they’re not pleased.
“Henry Cavill is and all the time can be THE WITCHER,” mentioned one Cavill fan, with one other including, “I really feel unhealthy for Liam, taking over the mantle of the Buff Nerd GOAT is an not possible job.” Whereas there was some sympathy for Hemsworth, a few of the responses have been fairly brutal, with this notably enraged fan saying, “As a lot of a diehard Witcher fan that I’m, I cannot be watching this. Henry Cavill was and all the time would be the true Geralt of Rivia. F[*]ckin’ Liam appears to be like like Christopher Lambert as Raiden within the OG Mortal Kombat film… I CAN’T UNSEE IT.”
After main the primary three seasons of The Witcher, Cavill immediately introduced he could be stepping down from the position of Geralt again in October 2022. In a press release launched on the time, Cavill revealed that “the unbelievable Mr. Liam Hemsworth can be taking over the mantle of the White Wolf,” with the actor enthusiastic “to see Liam’s tackle this most fascinating and nuanced of males.” In his personal assertion, Hemsworth heaped reward on Cavill’s portrayal, including that, as “a Witcher fan” he is “over the moon concerning the alternative to play.”

Not each response is essentially geared toward Liam Hemsworth, with one fan saying, “Nonetheless very pissed about dropping Henry but it surely does not look terrible.” Which, whereas not precisely excessive reward, is a minimum of one thing. “It appears to be like alright I suppose but it surely’s not Geralt. Liam is a effective actor however the footwear he’s attempting to fill are too massive. Cavill is Geralt. Liam is low cost Geralt,” added one other, with this fan and X person summing issues for a lot of, saying, “Perhaps if we did not have Henry first, I would dig what they are going for right here however at this level, no thanks.”
Lastly, this fan has no problem with whether or not Henry Cavill or Liam Hemsworth play Geralt as they really feel The Witcher has far greater points than who’s within the lead; “Liam’s nice, Henry’s nice. The difficulty is not who performs the character. The difficulty has and all the time would be the showrunners and writers messing with what makes the character so nice. It is the basic misunderstanding that made folks depart.”
