This shocking announcement comes shortly after Cavill decided to return as Superman in the DCU. The British actor said that his journey on this show was filled with both monsters and adventures, adding that he’s enthusiastic to see Hemsworth embody this fascinating and nuanced character.

Hemsworth said he’s over the moon to play Geralt of Rivia because he’s been The Witcher fan for years, and thanked Cavill for allowing him 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,” said Hemsworth in a statement.

Cavill will bid his farewell when The Witcher returns for Season 3 on Netflix. Its release date is yet to be announced, but it will most likely premiere next summer.

The Witcher prequel titled The Witcher: Blood Origin, will be “set in an elven world 1200 years before the world of The Witcher, Blood Origin will tell a story lost to time—the origin of the very first Witcher, and the events that lead to the pivotal ‘conjunction of the spheres,’ when the worlds of monsters, men, and elves merged to become one,” according to Netflix.

The Witcher: Blood Origin will be shot in the UK and no cast information has been released yet.

The prequel is using the crew from The Witcher—Declan de Barra, a writer on Season 1 of The Witcher, will act as executive producer and showrunner, and the shows executive producer and showrunner, Lauren Schmidt Hissrich, will executive produce the prequel series.

De Barra said, “As a lifelong fan of fantasy, I am beyond excited to tell the story ‘The Witcher: Blood Origin.’ A question has been burning in my mind ever since I first read ‘The Witcher’ books: What was the elven world really like before the cataclysmic arrival of the humans? I’ve always been fascinated by the rise and fall of civilizations, how science, discovery, and culture flourish right before that fall.”

Schmidt Hissrich added, “I am so thrilled to collaborate with Declan and the Netflix team on ‘The Witcher: Blood Origin.’ It’s an exciting challenge to explore and expand the Witcher universe created by Andrzej Sapkowski, and we can’t wait to introduce fans to new characters and an original story that will enrich our magical, mythical world even more.”

The second season of The Witcher is set to resume production in August.

Now that that song is firmly planted in your head again, and you’re rueing even reading this, you may be pleased to know that a movie based on the adventures of Geralt of Rivia is on the way. 

Henry Cavill brought the character to life in the first season of the Netflix series, which is based on the novels by Polish writer Andrzej Sapkowski. The books have already been made into a highly successful video game, with an animated film now set to join the adaptation list. 

The Nightmare of the Wolf will be animated by the Korean illustrators at Studio Mir, who brought us The Legend of Korra. Lauren Hissrich, who is the showrunner for the live-action series, will also be involved. 

As it stands, we don’t have a date for the new film, but we can expect season 2 of The Witcher in 2021.

The new Netflix series premiered on Friday and is based on the book series of the same name by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski.

Set in a fantasy world with three timelines running concurrently, it can easily be confusing. Not to mention it contains a glossary of terms tailor-made for its own universe. But if fantastical creatures and evil humans are your thing, then The Witcher is well-worth pursuing, and its showrunner is confident that you don’t need any prior knowledge to jump into the Henry Cavill-led series. 

“What was important to me is starting off and making sure that we understood who Geralt was and who Ciri was, and then, in episode 2, who Yennefer was,” said showrunner Lauren Schmidt Hissrich about the move, which was made to make it easier for viewers, but deviates from the books.

“I think the people that haven’t read the books, that’ll actually be a lot easier for them to get into because they have the Yennefer and Ciri storylines, which are amazingly performed, from the get-go,” Cavill noted.

“With the Geralt storyline, it’s a slower burn. If you’ve read the books, then yes, you have the privilege of knowing the why, the what and the how. But with his storyline, it’s a slower burn and you discover him bit by bit, more and more over the season and through future seasons.”

Season 1 of The Witcher is currently on Netflix, with a second season having already been announced.

The Mission Impossible — Fallout star is the lead in Netflix’s adaptation of The Witcher.

Based on the best-selling fantasy novel series that already reincarnated in numerous video games, the story is set in “the vast world of The Continent, where humans, elves, witchers, gnomes, and monsters battle to survive and thrive, and where good and evil is not easily identified.”

Cavill plays Geralt of Rivia, a monster hunter who finds himself teaming up with a sorceress played by Anya Chalotra, and Freya Allan as a princess harbouring a dark secret, as all three are forced to navigate The Continent. 

The series consists of 8 episodes, with the first trailer debuting at the Lucca Comics and Games convention in Italy.

The Witcher will premiere on Netflix on December 20^th.

No, it’s the Superman movies which Warner Bros. are letting pass us by.

For now.

With Henry Cavill being cast as the lead in Netflix’s new series, The Witcher, speculation arose as to what would happen to the future of DC’s Superman films of which Henry is the star.

Well, it now appears as though we have our answer. The studio has decided not to make a stand-alone Superman movie for the next few years; switching focus to a Supergirl film as its priority instead, with 21 Jump Street writer, Oren Uziel, working on the screenplay.

An appearance by the Man of Steel in the upcoming Shazam! flick also fell through as a result of scheduling conflicts due to Henry’s starring in Mission: Impossible — Fallout.

As a result, it looks as though the 35-year-old will be hanging up his cape.

Reports have also claimed that Black Panther star, Michael B. Jordan, could be taking on the role of Clark Kent in the future.

But, relax.

The Mission: Impossible — Fallout actor has been cast in the Netflix adaptation of The Witcher by Andrzej Sapkowski.

The 35-year-old will play Geralt of Rivia who is mutant monster hunter, dealing with slavering abominations, political machinations, and manipulative Sorceresses.

Henry revealed recently that he had also been playing The Witcher video game, of which he said: “Love that game. Really good game.”

The project was announced in May 2017, with showrunner, Lauren Hissrich, saying Henry showed enormous passion.

He was my first meeting. I didn’t have writers or scripts yet – just a greenlight and a lot of passion. That was four months ago, and I’ve never forgotten the passion he brought. He IS Geralt. He always has been. I’m so thrilled to welcome HENRY CAVILL to the #Witcher family.
