Henry Cavill stepped into the world of mages and chaos about five years ago. His sophisticated yet brooding portrayal of the iconic character won millions of hearts instantly. The Witcher hooked fans for three seasons, making them laugh and cry as their beloved Geralt embraced his fate. The actor made such an impression with his dazzling fighting skills and knowledge of the story he became the perfect incarnation of the White Wolf. But the news that came in October 2022 shattered all the hopes of the audiences.

Fans cannot forget the moment the British superstar took to social media to announce his exit from the show. The news set the internet ablaze with people wondering why the creators let go of such an incredible artist. Season 3 marked his last appearance as the White Wolf, which fans are still not ready to accept. Moreover, the audience has not been happy with how he exited and they feel that maybe he might be there in the upcoming season as well. But before this is explored, it is important to dissect every little detail that will lead to the conclusion.
