Henry Cavill stepped into The Witcher like a man chasing destiny. The 42-year-old Brit was already campaigning for the role of Geralt of Rivia even long before the first scene was filmed.

When news spread that Cavill would not return for Season 4 and that Liam Hemsworth would step into the white-haired monster hunter’s boots, it felt like a sudden rift had opened. Even though official statements were polished and polite, the shift was jarring, to say the least.

Neither Cavill nor the showrunners offered a clear explanation, and fans were left with a puzzle missing key pieces.
