A post shared by Henry Cavill (@henrycavill)

Liam Hemsworth wrote on Instagram, “As a Witcher fan I’m over the moon about the opportunity to play Geralt of Rivia. Henry Cavill has been an incredible Geralt, and I’m honored that he’s handing me the reins and allowing me to take up the White Wolf’s blades for the next chapter of his adventure.

Henry, I’ve been a fan of yours for years and was inspired by what you brought to this beloved character. I may have some big boots to fill, but I’m truly excited to be stepping into The Witcher world. @hen”

Many viewers, especially fans of Henry Cavill, are disappointed with the change. One fan wrote: “Today is a sad day..... But looking forward to all your future endeavours, the show will not be the same without you.”

Another wrote: “THIS IS JOKE RIGHT?! RHIS MUST BE A *** JOKE HENRY.”

“Not gonna lie it would be better to just stop the series... this is really disappointing,” written by a disappointed fan.

While one more viewer added: “Such a shame! Geralt was practically made for you and you made it your own. Hemsworth is a great actor but this role and character is made for one person only and that’s you Mr Cavil! Just like superman.”
