Fans of the series White Wolf received shocking news last weekend when Netflix announced Henry Cavill’s departure from the set . Thus, it was announced that the actor in the lead role will be replaced by another Hollywood star, Liam Hemsworth. The news left fans shocked and thrilled, ranging from confusion to anger and depression.
According to a new report from Deadline , the reason for Cavill’s departure is not particularly exciting. Citing anonymous sources familiar with the case, Cavill reportedly felt it was simply time to quit the show after signing a short-term deal with Netflix in advance. Added to all of this is the issue of the demanding production schedule, which often involves trips to different parts of the world.
Of course, none of these reports have been officially commented on or confirmed by either Cavill or Netflix. At the time of the Netflix announcement, Henry had said nothing about the reasons for his departure, rather he used the moment to cheer Hemsworth with a kind word and good luck to him.
My journey as Geralt of Rivia has been filled with both monsters and adventures, and unfortunately I am putting my medallion and swords aside for season four. Instead, the fantastic Mr. Liam Hemsworth will assume the role of the White Wolf. As with the greatest literary characters, I hand over the torch with respect for the time spent in Geralt’s skin and with enthusiasm to see Liam approach this most fascinating and nuanced man. Liam, good sir, this character has such a wonderful depth, enjoy delving into it and discovering what you can find.
Cavill announced as he left.
Of course, any report without official confirmation should be taken with a grain of salt. Either way, we are still looking forward to hearing the next news and watching the situation unfold. There is a good chance that we will get to know many more details soon.
