It wasn\u2019t just when the recasting news of Geralt of Rivia broke (previously played by Cavill, now by Liam Hemsworth), but the \u201cnoise\u201d grew even louder after Netflix unveiled the first trailer of The Witcher, starring the Australian actor.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Hemsworth, who admits he was wary of the \u201cdistraction\u201d surrounding the recasting, has now chosen to address it now that fans have gotten a taste of what he can do. In an interview with\u00a0<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>, the actors said:<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;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\u2019t want any of that to affect my way of telling the story that I\u2019m trying to tell.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">When Cavill\u2019s exit was first announced, the internet was ablaze with discussions and demands for his return. With the fandom being brutal as ever, Hemsworth recalled how he chose to stay away from this hotchpotch, \u201cI jumped off social media and the internet most of last year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Whether fans are convinced by the Hunger Games star\u2019s rendition of While Wolf \u2013 or if they ever will be \u2013 remains to be seen.
