Henry Cavill may be leaving the Witcherverse for good, but it seems like the set of the Netflix fantasy show will forever be in reminiscence of his presence. The British actor has single-handedly breathed life into the live-action adaptation of the lore with his monster-slaying sword swinging ballad. So much so that doubts turned into fandom and upon his departure they even signed petitions and threatened to leave the show.

However, it seems like not only fans but those who have seen him on the set and had an opportunity to talk with his co-workers also felt his ever-looming presence all over the place. Just like The Witcher producer recently shared missing the actor, so will Cavill’s crew members without their Geralt around them.

Furthermore, from stunt performers to his co-stars, everyone praised Cavill’s professionalism, and his kind and helpful behavior. “There was a rich lore of Henry anecdotes,” according to the journalists. The outlet also revealed that it was not until the third season’s wrap-up that Cavill’s co-actress. Anya Chalotra got to know about Cavill’s departure.

Showrunner Lauren Hissrich also revealed that they could have just ended the show but then, many stories would remain untold. Hence, they sought a mid-way that not only helped them stay loyal to the books, but also kept their Geralt alive.

Meanwhile, here’s everything you ought to know about Cavill’s very last battle in the Witcherverse and similarities with Game of Thrones and Harry Potter franchise.

Is the very last battle of Henry Cavill akin to Harry Potter and Game of Thrones?

Well, ever since the resurrection of the Netflix fantasy series, fans have been finding ways to compare the fantasy drama with Game of Thrones. It seems like they may now have the biggest comparison yet. In their discussion, Hissrich confirmed that the third season not only is totally faithful to the third book of the lore but it will also have “more magic than ever.” Seems like they are truly working for Cavill’s grand farewell.

She further compared the Battle of Arteusa to Harry Potter’s Triwizard Tournament or Game of Thrones Red Wedding, confessing that the focus will be more on Ciri’s character development and that bringing the whole thing to live-action adaption was “genuinely a challenge” for Hissrich, Ciri, and co.
