‘I miss you so much’: The Witcher cast still can’t get over Henry Cavill’s departure

The 3rd most viewed Netflix, The Witcher is back on the platform. The Witcher Geralt of Rivia’s (Henry Cavill) adventure has been split into two parts for Season 3. Five episodes are already available and the second volley of 3 episodes will be available on July 27.

In this new season, Geralt and Yennefer (Anna Chalotra) do their best to protect Ciri (Freya Allan) from the continent’s monarchs, mages and creatures while training her to harness power and force.

As they travel underground, the group faces many dangers that bring them even closer together, turning these lonely creatures into a strange yet tight-knit family. Unfortunately for The Witcher heroes and heroine interpreters, this family is going through a big change in season four.

Henry Cavill is already missing from The Witcher cast

It’s news that has the effect of a bomb at the end of October 2022: Henry Cavill is leaving the Netflix series at the end of season 3, and it is Liam Hemsworth who will take his place in the skin of the mutant monster hunter. Witcher fans were very angry after the announcement, while the rest of the cast was very sad.

But it seems the information is still hard to digest, even nine months after the news, even for a key stakeholder who started meeting with the writers of the Netflix series during the TUDUM event. But the actors are also very sad that the 3rd season is the last circle of Henry Cavill, who did not participate in the promotional tour of the new episodes.

in the interview Movie pilotAnna Chalotra (Yennefer), Freya Allan (Ciri) and Joy Baty (Jasquier) made it clear that they were still struggling to digest the British actress’ departure from The Witcher.

“She gave me a lot of amazing advice and was always there” Ana Chalotra explains. For him it was Henry Cavill “An important part of the series” But his career, which really took off internationally thanks to The Witcher. “I miss you so much”he concludes.

The same sadness on the part of Freya Allan, who was captured by Henry Cavill and who created a healthy and safe working environment for the 21-year-old actress, who had many more action scenes in the series’ 3 season:

“Doing the fight scenes with him this year was an amazing experience. He’s clearly the best at what he does in the stunt world. He’s got a lot of experience. And doing it with him was really unique.”

Freya Allan is already thinking about the future and Season 4, and admits that it will be difficult for her to play with another actor, with whom it will be necessary to recreate the alchemy: “When I play Ciri, I always have a certain face in mind. So it will be very strange when we meet again and the face is different.”

For his part, Joey Bate, who plays Dandelion, already remembers the good times he spent with Henry Cavill, especially on set:

“It’s the little moments away from the cameras. The little looks or jokes we made to each other. The endless laughs of working together for five years. But also the love we both have for each other. Other. Henry is a very honest person. He was very present and eyes everywhere He had. He notices things that others don’t.”

Despite sadness and disappointment, the actors of The Witcher do not feel bitter towards their colleague and will always have a place in the hearts of Henry Cavill. Ana Chalotra looks forward to what will happen next for Géralt de Rive’s former translator and sums it up like this. “All good things come to an end”.

The Witcher Season 3, Part 2 will be available July 27 on Netflix.
