Liam Hemsworth, the actor known for portraying the role of Gale Hawthorne inThe Hunger Gamesfranchise is all set to wear the big boots of Geralt of Rivia in Netflix’sThe Witcher.However, there seems to be a slight problem with Hemsworth’s Witcher.
Fans may know that Geralt of Rivia grunts a lot both in the games as well as in the Netflix series. With Henry Cavill being a gamer himself, he wanted to nail down every aspect of Geralt of Rivia (which includes grunting). Well, Liam Hemsworth’s Witcher allegedly doesn’t.
“Hmmm” – Henry Cavill In Netflix’sThe Witcher
Despite the fact that it is just a single exalting grunt, the character of Geralt of Rivia has been associated with his iconic grunting style for many years. With Henry Cavill portraying an exceptional performance as the Butcher of Blaviken in Netflix’sThe Witcher,fans also became crazy for his occasional grunts and ponderous thoughts.
As we all know, the actor soon called it quits over creative differences with showrunner Lauren S. Hissrich, and season 3 was the last season of Henry Cavill’sThe Witcher.In his place,Liam Hemsworthtook on the silver and steel swords and became the new Witcher.

On the other hand, people waiting for Liam Hemsworth to grunt while he turned his face became disappointed with the alleged lack of it in the teaser. It could be a possibility that Hemsworth’s version of Geralt of Rivia doesn’t grunt as often as Cavill.

On the other hand, Freya Allan, the actress who portrays the role of Ciri, publicly supported Hemsworth as the new Witcher. Stating that she wants to see him take on the challenging role, it seems that the bond between Ciri and Geralt remains unbroken (no matter who portrays the role).
Freya Allan Feels Sorry For Liam Hemsworth!
Starring alongsideHenry Cavillfor three seasons, Freya Allan knows better than most what kind of pressure Liam Hemsworth would be facing at the moment. Taking on the already challenging role, Hemsworth has the responsibility of filling Cavill’s shoes!
While talking about the upcoming season ofThe Witcher,Allan was asked in an interview withCollider forCollider Ladies Nightwhat she thought about Cavill’s replacement. In her honest answer, the actress stated that the fandom can become very offensive.
As the interview further continued, Allan clarified that it’s always a hard job to take someone else’s role. That would become a lot more difficult if you’re replacing Henry Cavill. The actress, however, did acknowledge that Hemsworth wanted to portray the role with all his heart and that he has given a lot to the series!
I feel sorry for him, honestly, because, number one, that fan base can be very attack-y, and it’s not an ideal situation to be in taking up someone else’s role. I don’t want to speak for him, but from what I’ve understood, I feel like he’s really wanting to try and bring the heart. He’s been training.
A release date for the fourth season ofThe Witcherhasn’t been announced yet as reports indicate that the filming has just begun. On the other hand, the first three seasons of the Netflix show received rave reviews and accolades.
