On Halloween, we reported that Henry Cavill will be replaced by Liam Hemsworth for the fourth season of Netflix’s hit series “The Witcher.” The news may have felt like a horrible trick perpetrated by Netflix, but unfortunately, the news is true. And today, we’ve got the first look at Helmsworth as Geralt. Known for his role in The Hunger Games franchise, Hemsworth’s version of the series’ main character looks like a milder version of the chiseled, badass, fighter we’ve come to know and love. While we’re open to giving Hemsworth a shot. Don’t get me wrong, I mean no insult to Hemsworth’s talent, but replacing an established character, especially one that was perfectly cast, is always risky. Why did Cavill leave?

So I’m excited for it.” “I don’t think there’s two more iconic things than Dracula and Nic Cage,” Hoult also tells THR. “So, to put those together and be in scenes with him and just watch all the inspiration and all the things that he brings to the character, the fun of it, the
