Images of Liam Hemsworth as the new Geralt of Rivia have been leaked online, showing him wearing similar costumes to Henry Cavill’s portrayal in the first three seasons of Netflix’s The Witcher. The images, although unofficial and grainy, show Hemsworth in the white wig typically worn by Witchers, dressed in black and wielding swords. The images were released by Redanian Intelligence, sparking speculation about the upcoming Season 4 of the popular dark fantasy adaptation.
One image in particular shows Hemsworth recreating a fight scene with Vilgefortz, raising questions about how Season 4 will blend with the events of the previous season and introduce the new Geralt. With the departure of Henry Cavill, who was both a star in the series and a fan of the books and games, there is concern about the future of the show. Each new season has been received less enthusiastically than the one before, leading to uncertainty about the direction Season 4 will take without Cavill’s presence.
Despite the challenges that come with recasting such a beloved character, Liam Hemsworth has taken on the role of Geralt of Rivia and will be featured in the upcoming penultimate season of The Witcher. While some fans have already made up their minds about the choice to replace Cavill, Hemsworth faces the task of filling impossible boots and living up to the expectations of viewers. The show’s fifth season will mark the end of the series, leaving room for potential future adaptations of Andrzej Sapkowski’s source material.
As the show moves forward with a new lead actor, viewers are left wondering how Hemsworth will bring his own interpretation to the character of Geralt and navigate the challenges of continuing a series without its original star. The leaked images of Hemsworth in costume have stirred anticipation and curiosity about the upcoming season, as fans wait to see how the storyline will progress and how the character of Geralt will evolve under new direction. Despite the uncertainties surrounding the future of The Witcher, there is hope that the adaptation will do justice to Sapkowski’s rich and immersive world in its final seasons.
