Liam Hemsworth, who takes over the role of Geralt in the new season of The Witcher, has finally addressed the long-standing controversy.

Liam Hemsworth’s Statements on The Witcher

In an interview, Hemsworth emphasized that stepping into the role after Cavill is a huge responsibility. The actor, who stated that he has stepped away from social media, has focused solely on portraying the character to the best of his ability. He explained that he particularly connected with Geralt’s protective side from his own childhood, which is why he feels a strong connection to the character.

Series producer Lauren S. Hissrich explained that Hemsworth was one of the names on the table from the very beginning. Hissrich noted that the actor took this responsibility seriously, adding that Hemsworth demonstrated a balanced approach to both continuity and his own unique interpretation.

It’s been stated that Geralt’s humor and charm will be more prominent in the new season, while leaked images from the set suggest the series will play with the perception of time. This approach seems to help audiences more easily accept the role reversal.

Hemsworth’s remarks shed light on the ongoing discussions following Cavill’s departure and heightened anticipation for what will happen in future seasons of The Witcher. Season 4 will premiere on Netflix on October 30th.
