If you would have to name the geekiest celebrity you know, who would that be? If you thought about the English actor, Henry Cavill, you are right to think so. The English actor admitted to being an avid gamer many times. Choosing his character as Geralt of Rivia in The Witcher is one such example. The Netflix show took its inspiration from the novels and the video game of the same name. But there was one episode inspired by the video game that was later deleted.

Translating the book or any game into a television show requires a lot of omitting from the source material. However, the essence of the source should be intact. Being an adaptation, The Witcher took direct inspiration from the books and the video game. In the previous year, the Enola Holmes actor had a conversation with BBC Radio 1’s Ali Plumb. The two talked about a deleted scene from the show.

There was a scene in the video game where Geralt and an old lady are talking about a pen. Although the scene never made it to the final cut. While joking about the scene, Cavill said, “But it might build on the character.” He even went on to explain it was about the character. The 39-year-old actor believed the characters built the stories, and including that bit would have enhanced the character of the fan-favorite Geralt of Rivia.

While teasing about the scene, the British actor also praised Doug Cockle, who voiced the character. He admired what Cockle did with Geralt of Rivia in the games. However, this interview appeared after The Witcher season 2. Now, ahead of the third season of the show, fans became extremely disappointed. The reason was Cavill’s announcement that season 3 would be his last season of the show.

Henry Cavill will appear as Geralt for the last time in the upcoming season of The Witcher

After starring in Black Adam, the Man of Steel actor revealed his departure from the Netflix Original. Although there were no reasons disclosed, fans seem to think it was the writers of the show. Because of the creative differences with the writers, Cavill left the show. However, speaking about the final appearance of the Superman actor, the showrunner Lauren Schmidt Hissrich admitted they would give a heroic send-off to Cavill.

While fans wanted to see more of Cavill’s Witcher, they will now see Liam Hemsworth taking over the swords and medallion. However, despite leaving The Witcher, The Tudors star will live his other nerdy dream with Amazon Studios. He is going to star in and produce the live-action adaptation of Warhammer 40,000. Moreover, he is coming back with big movies and sequels as well.?
