LOS ANGELES: Actor Henry Cavill won't be making a second appearance in "The Witcher" now that he is no longer Superman.
As reported by "Variety," Liam Hemsworth will continue to play Geralt of Rivia in "The Witcher" Season 4.
Cavill portrayed the role for three seasons, but in October, shortly after confirming his comeback as Superman in Warner Bros.' DC Universe, he acknowledged his departure from the show. After Cavill's tenure as Superman was officially done, fans pondered whether he will return to "The Witcher." It won't be like that.
In the "Black Adam" end credits scene, Cavill made a comeback as Superman.
When James Gunn and Peter Safran took over DC Studios in November, the plan for a new Superman film starring Henry Cavill and directed by Charles Roven was put on hold. The two are revamping the DC Universe, beginning with a new Superman movie with a story by Gunn that won't star Cavill. In a tweet posted on December 15, Gunn stated, "Peter & I have a DC slate ready to go, which we couldn't be more over-the-moon about; we'll be able to reveal some exciting details about our first projects at the beginning of the new year.
"Superman is one of the people on the list. Henry Cavill won't be portraying Superman because the first portion of our story will centre on a different period in his life. However, we recently had a wonderful meeting with Henry, of whom we are huge admirers, and we discussed a number of intriguing opportunities to collaborate in the future. I have bad news for you all. After all, I won't be coming back as Superman," Cavill announced on Instagram. "This news isn't the simplest to share after the studio instructed me to do so back in October, before they were hired, but that's life, right? I am mindful of James and Peter's need to create a universe. I wish them and everyone participating in the new universe the happiest of fortunes and the best of luck. Fans of The Witcher weren't overly happy when Cavill revealed his departure and the show said Liam Hemsworth will be replacing him.
