HHT – Netflix has officially revealed the first images of Liam Hemsworth in the role of Geralt of Rivia in “The Witcher” season 4. Miley Cyrus’ ex-husband replaces Henry Cavill after he decided to leave the series.
Liam Hemsworth ‘s look as Geralt of Rivia in The Witcher season 4 has been officially revealed. No longer the “low-quality” images that were circulating on Twitter before, Netflix has now released a close-up portrait of the new Geralt .
In the previous three seasons, Henry Cavill played Geralt, but due to disagreements with the production team, the actor decided to leave after season 3. Liam Hemsworth was chosen to replace Geralt in The Witcher season 4.
It can be seen that Liam Hemsworth’s appearance as the White Wolf is still the typical white hair, thorny, dusty, and the scar at the corner of the eye cannot be missed. Some people even commented that Liam’s appearance looks more like Geralt in the game than Henry.
The producers of The Witcher revealed that the cast and crew were impressed by the passion and determination that Liam Hemsworth brought to the new Geralt. It is known that Liam’s Geralt’s appearance has been developed for more than a year. Since taking on the role, he has become “best friends” with the gym to train and prepare for the role.
It can be said that taking on the role of Geralt of Rivia was a challenge for Liam Hemsworth. Because in the previous three seasons, the person who played Geralt was Henry Cavill – he was loved not only for his perfect appearance and acting, but also for his intense love for The Witcher .
As a die-hard fan of The Witcher games and novels , Henry Cavill was unhappy with the writers’ gradual deviation from the original. That’s why Henry decided to leave the series after season 3.
Not only is Liam Hemsworth under pressure from being compared to Henry Cavill, he also came to The Witcher when its position was already shaky in the hearts of viewers. It can be said that The Witcher has gradually decreased in quality with each season, not winning the hearts of fans – especially those who have played the game or read The Witcher novels . Many fans have even lost faith to the point of declaring that they will not watch season 4, the problem is not who plays Geralt but because the content of the show is becoming too disjointed and unattractive.
Speaking about The Witcher season 4, the producer revealed that season 3 of the series has set the stage for the story to focus more on Ciri. The producer “teased” that the audience will gradually discover that Ciri is the main character of The Witcher : “Not Geralt, not Yennefer. It is Ciri’s story.”
The Witcher is expected to end with season 5. Season 4 does not have an official air date yet.
“The preconception about Liam Hemsworth comes from people loving his predecessor’s performance too much. Henry Cavill is great, but Liam deserves a chance too.”
“I believe Liam is a great actor, and I know he will bring something that is missing to the character of Geralt.”
“Liam looks amazing. Maybe this will be a new era of The Witcher.”
“Still prefer Henry, but I can accept Liam.”
