About this listen

 It’s been another headline-grabbing week for Henry Cavill. The most talked-about development continues to be his departure from Netflix’s The Witcher, a move that remains a major topic with fresh waves of fan debate and industry speculation thanks to Netflix’s release of the season 4 trailer earlier this week. There was a temporary frenzy when a Netflix editorial interview appeared to suggest Liam Hemsworth was approached to replace Cavill as Geralt as early as 2020, even though Cavill didn’t officially announce his exit until late 2022. That line was quickly edited out, but outlets like The Direct and Tribune Pakistan have reported on the confusion, fueling ongoing rumors that his departure stemmed from creative differences or dissatisfaction with changes to the show’s direction, although showrunner Lauren Hissrich reiterated this week to Entertainment Weekly that Cavill’s other career commitments drove the decision, and there was no bad blood.

Hemsworth’s debut as Geralt is set for October 30th, and social media has been buzzing with reactions to the new trailer. On Threads and Instagram, die-hard Cavill fans have reignited their campaign to express disappointment and reminisce about his interpretation of the character, with some posts trending and even sparking heated comment threads in the days leading up to and after the trailer’s debut. Media coverage notes that the fandom seems split, some skeptical of Hemsworth but others cautiously optimistic based on the preview footage.

Amidst the Witcher storm, Cavill posted photos on Instagram showing him recovering with his dog and a cast on his foot, following injuries sustained while training for the Highlander reboot. His former Justice League colleagues Gal Gadot and Jason Momoa sent public well-wishes, making it a rare and heartwarming moment of DC cast camaraderie. Entertainment press from FandomWire and IMDb detailed Cavill’s health update with reporters emphasizing this is a minor setback, not derailing any current projects.

Business-wise, there’s no major new venture or endorsement publicly announced in the past 72 hours, though international press noted a forgotten Guy Ritchie/Cavill collaboration suffered a streaming setback, with the film being pulled from some platforms—an unfortunate development for Cavill completists but not a career-changing twist.

There was also some superhero buzz in the Marvel world, as Marvel Studios debuted a black superhero suit inspired by Cavill’s iconic look from Zack Snyder’s Justice League, confirming his legacy as pop culture’s Superman even as David Corenswet officially takes over the character in the new DCU reboot.
