He goodbye by henry cavill in The Witcher series it is a given. The actor has already said goodbye to his beloved role as Geralt de Rivia in the Netflix production, even in tears, and will be replaced by Liam Hemsworth as the well-known wizard. All this as a result of his clash with the direction regarding fidelity to the novels.
Now it has been Anya Chalotra, actress of Yennefer de Vengerberg, who has come to the fore to defend Cavill’s extensive knowledge of books. As she has recognized in an interview for Varietythe interpreter is clear that the actor contributed everything necessary to respect the universe created by Andrzej Sapkowski.
“He’s very invested in his understanding and interpretation of this character, and it’s something he’s always been so passionate about from day one, about these characters and this story. All I’ve ever known is his dedication to Geralt and to this narrative. .
It’s a breath of fresh air to work with someone who loves the material. It really is. Because he knows more than anyone about the world of The Witcher and all the rules, regulations and terms of The Witcher, he is at the top. So working with that is a blessing because there are days when you can doubt the world a little more than others. And he’s there to say, ‘Wait, we’ve got it.'”
Regarding the loss of Cavill within the cast of the show, Chalotra confesses that His loss has hurt him because of the great bond that united them due to the intense months of filming that they have spent together.
“We didn’t find out until after we filmed Season 3. And it’s always emotional filming at the end of any season, you know, the last scene you do with the people you’ve worked with for eight months. It’s always like, ‘Oh.’ , but you live in that moment. And we didn’t find out until after filming.
I think we will all feel that loss. She has been with us since day one. We’ve been through a lot together. It’s been five years not only in this world that we have in The Witcher, but also with COVID, all these things that we’ve been through together, and it’s a strong bond. But with everything we do, it comes to an end. Henry is moving on from this, and that’s really exciting. We’ve had a wonderful five years with him and I’m excited for a new energy to come as well. Liam will be brilliant I’m sure. I haven’t talked to him yet, well yes, I’ve talked to him, but I haven’t met him. So yeah, I’m excited about that.”
At the same time, Chalotra points out that they have had to accept within the production that Netflix’s vision for The Witcher is different than the novelsbut that has not prevented representing large passages.
“There’s a lot we haven’t been able to tell. We’ve all had to come to terms with the fact that we’re doing a different version of these novels. There are so many moments in the books that we all love, and love for a reason, that we’ve managed to represent and explore. And I hope it affected the people, the fans, the people who love the books.”
With Volume 1 of the third season of The Witcher released, it’s time to wait until July 27 to finally say goodbye to Cavill with Volume 2 scheduled for July 27. Yennefer’s character “has to make peace with Geralt and Ciri, or rather, show that she can be trusted. And she also has to figure out what she wants. I think a lot of the ego has vanished at the end of last season, so he’s in a new phase of his life,” Chalotra said. Of course, she is yet to be known How Liam Hemsworth’s On-Screen Chemistry Will Work and how it will be integrated into the series.
“I wonder how they’re going to do it. I haven’t read anything, so I’m really wondering how they’re going to bring this character into the lives of the public who’s been with us for five years. I’m excited; it’s all unknown. We haven’t done a chemistry test. I wasn’t part of that process (of his casting). But I’m very excited to see what his Geralt is like. And only then will we realize what dynamic we have as a group.”
