New Details Surface on Why Henry Cavill Left THE WITCHER

According to a new report from Redanian Intelligence, Cavill was thinking about leaving the show after Season 2 due to disagreements with the producers in regard to the show's content and Geralt's role. Cavill expressed his frustrations about this during the press tour for the second season. Here’s an example that was shared of what Cavill was saying:

"The toughest part for me was finding that balance between the showrunners' vision and my love for the books, and trying to bring that Geralt to the showrunners' vision. It's about treading a fine line there. It's the showrunners' story and so it's an adaptation. The tricky bit for me was finding Geralt from the books' place within that and being able to serve both as much as I could. The things that I pushed for, it was not necessarily just more dialogue. It was bringing a more book-accurate Geralt to the screen. [...] All of my asks and requests were along the lines of just being faithful to the source material."
