To much of fan&#039;s disappointment, Henry Cavill of The Witcher parts way with the show as Netflix casts another actor amidst his busy schedule

Fans Lament The Loss of Henry Cavill to DCEU, as The &#8216;Superman&#8217; Actor Parts Way With &#8216;The Witcher&#8217;

Put your Elven swords back in the sheath and savor every bit of The Witcher
season 3 as the fan favorite Geralt of Rivia (Henry Cavill) is giving away his
monster hunting duty to Liam Hemsworth. Until a fortnight earlier, it would be
okay to address Henry Cavill as the supreme definition of Netflix’s hit fantasy
series. However, with the arrival of the new sun, the British actor decided to
leave the Witcherverse and move on to new endeavors. And it seems like fans are
not extremely happy with the decision.

The 39-year-old Brit had played the role with such perfection and zeal, that it
is hard to imagine someone else taking up his position and proceeding with the
lore, indeed. The Witcher explores the legend
[http://netflixjunkie.com/tag/the-witcher/] of the white-haired mutant, and his
child surprise- the Cintran princess as they meddle with their destiny and find
their place in a world where people are more wicked than monsters.

However, Henry Cavill [http://netflixjunkie.com/tag/henry-cavill/] has set his
medallion and sword to rest putting on his red and blue cape to once again save
the contemporary world. But his decision to do so did not sit well with the fans
of his medieval monster hunter avatar. Here’s how they are displaying their rage
on social media:


THE WITCHER ACTOR, HENRY CAVILL JOINED DCEU AGAIN, BUT AT WHAT COST?

As soon as fans got to know the Superman actor has passed on his Witcher legacy
to the Hunger Games actor, fans are up in arms. They are lamenting the loss of
the actor and even threatening the streaming giant to boycott the show.

Some fans are seemingly complaining about why such things always happen to their
favorite narratives and characters. Well, such is life.

Cavill addressed Liam saying the character has a good depth and that he will
enjoy playing the role. “Liam, good sir, this character has such a wonderful
depth to him, enjoy diving in and seeing what you can find,” he said
