With that in mind, let&#8217;s find out what other fans are saying about the early footage of Hemsworth as Geralt.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Read more: <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.slashfilm.com\/1661135\/greatest-character-actors-all-time-ranked\/?zsource=yahoo\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:The Greatest Character Actors Of All Time, Ranked;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">The Greatest Character Actors Of All Time, Ranked<\/a><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Witcher fans show their support for Liam Hemsworth as Geralt of Rivia<\/h2>\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><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p>Geralt of Rivia turning his head on &#8220;The Witcher&#8221; &#8211; Netflix<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">News of Henry Cavill&#8217;s departure undoubtedly cooled some fans&#8217; interest in &#8220;The Witcher&#8221; season 4, but seeing Liam Hemsworth in action has led to more hype and anticipation. As the Redditor <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/netflixwitcher\/comments\/1o0h855\/comment\/nia7ssh\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:u\/Enlwaed74;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">u\/Enlwaed74<\/a> noted, &#8220;Honestly, I was already happy to see [sic] season 4, but I&#8217;m really looking forward now. Liam looks really good [as] Geralt, he moves very well. And Ciri &#8230; I&#8217;m just freaking hyped.&#8221; Amen to that.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Of course, there are some fans out there who aren&#8217;t 100% sold on Hemsworth yet, but are open-minded enough to judge his performance as its own thing\u00a0\u2014\u00a0as opposed to expecting him to be a perfect substitute for Henry Cavill\u00a0\u2014 after they&#8217;ve watched season 4.

Hard. He was my favorite part of this show. But unlike others, I am 100% down to give Liam a chance. I don&#8217;t love the writing on this show but I love most of the acting, costumes, music, choreography etc so I&#8217;ll casually watch it without emotionally investing. People are so stuck in a mindset that if they don&#8217;t love something that they HAVE to hate on it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;The Witcher&#8221; season 4 will slash its way onto Netflix on October 30, so viewers don&#8217;t have to wait long to see Hemsworth in action. He might not be Cavill\u00a0\u2014 and that&#8217;s okay. The footage we&#8217;ve seen thus far looks promising, and &#8220;The Witcher&#8221; is probably in good hands, as he is a talented performer who excels in action roles.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">If you&#8217;re looking for the easiest way to keep up with all the major movie and TV news, why not <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/subscribe.slashfilm.com\/newsletter-syndicated\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:sign up to our free newsletter;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">sign up to our free newsletter<\/a>?<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Read the <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.slashfilm.com\/1990383\/the-witcher-fans-saying-same-thing-liam-hemsworth-geralt\/?zsource=yahoo\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:original article on SlashFilm;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">original article on SlashFilm<\/a>.<\/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>Henry Cavill stepping down from his role as Geralt of Rivia on &#8220;The Witcher&#8221; was always going to divide fans.
