The Witcher supervisor calls season 3 'the most gallant farewell' for Henry Cavill prior to reworking

Henry Cavill has had a tumultuous few months in the entertainment industry. The actor, best known for his roles as Superman and Geralt of Rivia in The Witcher, has recently lost out on the opportunity to reprise his role as Superman and has instead moved on to Warhammer 40k.
Cavill's departure from The Witcher came as a surprise to fans, as the show had gained a large following on Netflix and was set to continue with a fourth season. Showrunner Lauren Hissrich has assured fans that Cavill's final season as Geralt will still be a "heroic sendoff," and teased that the character will undergo a major transformation in the upcoming season.

The reason for Cavill's departure from The Witcher was his pursuit of a return as Superman. In October, Cavill announced that he would be returning to the iconic role, but things took a turn when Warner Bros. Discovery named James Gunn and Peter Safran as the heads of DC Studios. The two set forth a plan to wipe the slate clean on the Snyder Verse, which included the cancellation of Black Adam, a project that Cavill had been attached to. Cavill was forced to retract his announcement about returning as Superman and is now moving on to Warhammer 40k.

While Cavill's career has had its ups and downs in recent months, his departure from The Witcher has opened up an opportunity for Liam Hemsworth to step in and take on the role. It remains to be seen how Hemsworth will fare in the role, but it is sure to bring some comfort to the Cavill household amid the career uncertainty.
