Henry Cavill has announced he will not return for season 4 of the Netflix “adaptation” of The Witcher. This article seems to speculate that Cavill left (to be replaced by Liam Helmsworth) because the book strayed too far from the source material, with one of the writers who left stating that the writers room was outright hostile to the source material, openly being uninterested or full on hating the books. I don’t follow the franchise but it’s not surprising given Netflix’s history of terrible live-action adaptations of anime. If the writer of that article is right, I wish he showed the same pushback towards Zac Snyder’s “Superman”, a character Cavill also claims to love.
