Replace Henry Cavill, Liam Hemsworth Stops Playing Social Media

Liam Hemsworth is the main character for the last two seasons starting from the fourth season which will air in October.

"I just don't want something like that to affect the way I tell the story I want to tell. I stopped playing social media and reading the internet last year," he said.

When the news of the substitution circulated, fans of The Witcher series were disappointed that Henry Cavill was their favorite casting. Cavill himself congratulated Hemsworth.

"Replaced my position, the fantastic Liam Hemsworth became White Wolf. As a character with extraordinary literacy, I gave an relay to play Geralt to see Liam play a role," Henry Cavill said in a statement at the time.

On the other hand, creator The Witcher revealed that Henry Cavill actually decided to leave some time before Liam Hemsworth was announced because he had another project.

"We never discussed about the event not being finished. The series is bigger than the actor, there is a book, there is a video game," he said.

The Witcher series season four on October 30.
