Watching Henry Cavill say goodbye to his fans and the co-stars at TUDUM brought tears to his fans’ eyes. With The Witcher season 3 approaching near, the restlessness also increases. However, despite Lauren Schmidt Hissrich’s promise to give the British actor a heroic send-off, is there really a way to introduce a new face of the same character without disturbing the storyline of season 3?

Season 4 of the show has already been announced. Liam Hemsworth’s debut is under preparation, while there are still concerns about Cavill’s exit. However, there can be 5 ways the show can replace the 40-year-old actor with a fresh face for the iconic character without disrupting the plot of the third season.

Henry Cavill can take the exit in one of these ways

While many of his co-stars have also expressed their sadness about Cavill’s exit, the show has these 5 ways of making the exit smooth and connecting to the upcoming seasons. There are ways to see if the transition of the actors can be smooth.

With magic, Geralt changes his face for protection

It is indeed Cirilla who is under attack by almost half of the Continent. Nevertheless, because Geralt and Yennefer are protecting Ciri and hiding her, Geralt might change his appearance. Certainly, no one can forget Geralt’s appearance. Therefore, for the sake of their protection, he could take help from Yennefer to use the magic and change his appearance.

There are other sorcerers or mages, such as Triss Merigold, and Tissaia de Vries, to help Geralt change his face.

Rience deforms Geralt in the third season

There are a number of enemies looking to find Ciri, and one of them is Rience. He uses forbidden magic with fire and also faced Geralt in the second season. However, in season 3, there could be a face-off between the two in which Rience deforms Geralt’s face with magic fire.

Although Witchers have healing power. But Rience is powerful and extremely dangerous. Therefore, Geralt might seek more magical help from Yennefer or other mages.

Understandably, this event seems a little dull to make the transformation. Nevertheless, this can also be one of the ways to make the replacement smooth without hurting the story.

Geralt will die in the third season only to come back with a new face (Liam Hemsworth)

As the Enola Holmes actor himself admitted, there will be a lot of difficulties for Geralt in season 3. So, maybe while facing those difficulties to protect his Child Surprise, Geralt dies in the end. However, having potent allies on his side, Geralt could come back in season 4 with a new look.

Although it will create a difficult situation for the Princess of Cintra, as she would not recognize the new Geralt. Nevertheless, this can also be one way to save the story while replacing the characters.

The Witcher will introduce Geralt’s new look with humor

Until now, a lot of things have been happening in The Witcher universe simultaneously. Therefore, in the fourth season, the show might not get a proper chance to introduce the new face of Geralt. Therefore, the makers can use Jaskier, the trusted bard, to explain the change.

With a little humor, only Jaskier can introduce the new face. The reason is he never leaves a chance to make fun of Geralt as we have seen until now. Therefore, it makes sense if, among all this seriousness, Geralt will see a little of a sense of humor and comic relief.

The fourth season completely looks over Henry Cavill’s exit

Of course, it seems a little harsh. But it is also possible the fourth season might not even acknowledge the fact that the English actor has gone. Because the third season will be a lot closer to the original book, the viewers will see a lot happening in the universe.

The showmakers might decide to let the transition go and move on with the new face of the iconic character of the Netflix Original.

No matter what the show might do, it will be up to Liam Hemsworth to fulfill Henry Cavill’s shoes and convince fans to accept the new face of Geralt of Rivia. The third season is just around the corner. Until it lands, tell us in the comments if you have an idea to replace the protagonist smoothly.
