Henry Cavill officially left The Witcher franchise and will have no involvement with the show beyond season three. Ever since Cavill got his dream role in the franchise, he went on record expressing his love for everything related to Witcher. And his departure from the show left the entire fandom in disbelief. However, the remorse has now started to dial down a bit as Cavill is about to roll out a string of exciting movies. 

The 40-year-old star is popular for his versatility as an actor. After making a legendary mark in the action-heavy movies, the British actor is all set to surprise his fans with a romance film.

From swords to love letters, Cavill will be transitioning from a monster hunter to an unlucky-in-love university professor. Directed by Steve Falk, The Rosie Project will be an adaptation of Graeme Simsion’s 2013 novel under the same name. Falk will co-produce the film with Michael Costigan. The Man of Steel actor would be playing an autistic genetics university professor named Don Tillman, who was on his quest to find a wife.

Tillman crafted a questionnaire to find his perfect match and ended up meeting a woman, Rosie, who did not match any of his requirements. However, he ultimately realized that she might just be everything he needed. Many actors in the past have tried to clinch the role, including Ryan Reynolds and Jake Gyllenhaal. However, the part eventually went to the Emmy Award-winning actor. Cavill, who has been busy with playing intense roles lately, could actually find a change of pace in a lighter, more romantic genre with this film.
