For fans, Henry Cavill is a Superman, a Witcher, and even a potential James Bond. The British actor has earned a name for himself through his work, gaining a massive fan following that fought for him after his DC exit. And fought for him again when he announced his decision to get out of Netflix’s superhit series. So much have fans loved his portrayal of Geralt that they are not willing to see Liam Hemsworth take over the role.
