With the new season on the horizon, though, he&#8217;s opened up about the \u201cnoise\u201d that came after he signed up to portray Geralt, but I really don\u2019t know if Season 4 is going to help that issue or not.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">What Did Liam Hemsworth Say About Fan Response To Him Taking Over The Witcher From Henry Cavill?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Whether you\u2019re a fan of <em>The Witcher<\/em> video games or books who\u2019s watched the once incredibly popular fantasy series or not, you likely remember what happened when the star of Seasons 1-3, Henry Cavill, announced he was leaving. There had already been many rumors about the Superman actor <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cinemablend.com\/streaming-news\/the-witcher-fans-think-henry-cavill-leaving-the-show-has-nothing-to-do-with-superman-and-they-may-have-a-point\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:not being happy with the creative direction;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">not being happy with the creative direction<\/a> of the drama, and fans who loved his portrayal of the White Wolf were none too pleased (yes, <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cinemablend.com\/streaming-news\/witcher-fans-mad-about-henry-cavill-called-out-netflix-in-new-petition-that-already-has-more-than-100000-signatures\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:that\u2019s putting it in extremely mild terms;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">that\u2019s putting it in extremely mild terms<\/a>) that he\u2019d decided to leave the show.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">As we look forward to the October 30 premiere of the fourth season (the first of <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/witcher-ending-season-5-three-191019979.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:two with the new star which will round out the series;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">two with the new star which will round out the series<\/a>), Liam Hemsworth spoke to <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ew.com\/the-witcher-liam-hemsworth-breaks-silence-henry-cavill-recasting-cover-story-11816558\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Entertainment Weekly;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Entertainment Weekly<\/a> about taking over as Geralt and noted that his announcement as the new lead was a bit of a distracting time. <em>The Hunger Games<\/em> star said:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"mb-4 border-l-2 pl-5 italic text-tertiary\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">There was quite a bit of noise and I had to put that aside. It started to become a distraction. I dealt with that sort of thing in the past a lot and, you know, at the end of the day, I love making movies and I love telling stories and acting. I just don&#8217;t want any of that to affect my way of telling the story that I&#8217;m trying to tell. I jumped off social media and the internet most of last year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">I think calling the response to his casting \u201cnoise\u201d is probably fair, seeing as how while fans were absolutely pissed off about the casting change, they didn\u2019t seem to hold it against Hemsworth or his predecessor, but the showrunner and writers who\u2019d been crafting the show. They were seen as making creative choices that tinkered too much with the story set forth in Andrzej Sapkowski\u2019s books, which made it hard for Cavill (a loud and devoted member of the tale\u2019s fanbase) to soldier on.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In fact, fans have even come to the <em>Expendables 2<\/em> star\u2019s defense when it comes to his casting. When 2023 promos for the third season proudly declared, \u201cYes, he\u2019s still Geralt in Season 3\u201d (meaning Cavill) many online were pissed that the <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/fans-not-pleased-witcher-promos-184443457.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:show appeared to actively throw Hemsworth \u201cunder a bus.\u201d;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">show appeared to actively throw Hemsworth \u201cunder a bus.\u201d<\/a> So, even though co-star Freya Allan has noted that <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/fanbase-attacky-witcher-freya-allan-162604279.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:their \u201cfanbase can be attacky,\u201d;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">their \u201cfanbase can be attacky,\u201d<\/a> that mostly hasn\u2019t been the case with Hemsworth specifically\u2026so far.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Here\u2019s Why I Don\u2019t Know If The Witcher Season 4 Premiere Will Help The \u2018Noise\u2019 Or Hurt<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Look, I\u2019m a fan of <em>The Witcher<\/em> who didn\u2019t previously have any attachment to the source material. I never read the books or played the video games, so I was free to watch the series without any real expectations of anything other than being entertained. I do understand, however, that it\u2019s really hard to <em>not<\/em> have lots of expectations when an IP you love is adapted into another form, and I\u2019ve also had some issues with what I saw on screen, whether those problems crossed over with long-time fans\u2019 thoughts or not.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Here\u2019s the thing; right now talk of <em>The Witcher<\/em> is pretty flat, and it has been since Season 3 wrapped a little over two years ago. For the most part people got their anger out right after news of the Cavillworth switch, they peeped some of the third season and slowly <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/looks-witcher-losing-henry-cavill-133140493.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:bounced away more and more as those episodes rolled on;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">bounced away more and more as those episodes rolled on<\/a>. Fans who\u2019ve decided that they are done with the show are likely committed to that, so they don\u2019t feel much need to discuss it anymore. Hence, the \u201cnoise\u201d and \u201cdistraction\u201d has died way down.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">But, as I see it, one of two things will happen when Season 4 hits Netflix: either negative talk of the series will ramp up again (let\u2019s be real, folks like to pile on) or word of mouth will stay at basically the level it is now because hardly anyone will give the new Geralt a shot. Either way, that\u2019s not good for the show, as news about it will be negative.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Obviously, it\u2019s not impossible that people will check it out and actually have mostly positive thoughts about what they see, but with Season 5 already being set as the last one, I think those who are still quietly seething about the leading man swap will have even fewer reasons to give the series a shot, meaning that a once very strong performer for the streamer could die a cold, lonely death when it all comes to an end in 2026.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission.
