Cavill released an official statement announcing his exit and sent words of encouragement Hemsworth’s way as he starts exploring this amazing character.

“In my stead, the fantastic Mr Liam Hemsworth will be taking up the mantle of the White Wolf. As with the greatest of literary characters, I pass the torch with reverence for the time spent embodying Geralt and enthusiasm to see Liam’s take on this most fascinating and nuanced of men,” said Cavill in a statement.

Liam Hemsworth echoed his words, describing Cavill as “an incredible Geralt” and thanked him for allowing him to take up the White Wolf’s blades for the next chapter of his adventure. He’s best known for starring in the Hunger Games franchise, but we’ve recently seen him on Netflix’s own Isn’t It Romantic.

Cavill’s exit is quite a shocker for The Witcher fan, but it wasn’t that difficult to predict since it comes shortly after he announced his return as Superman in the DCU. We’ll still get to see him play Geralt of Rivia in Season 3, set to premiere on Netflix next year.

Yeoh will star as Scían, the last of her nomadic tribe of sword-elves, who’s skilled with the blade and carries a lot of loss in her heart. After she gets a chance to retrieve a stolen sacred sword taken from her fallen tribe, she takes a dangerous quest that will change the Continent.

The prequel series is set in an elven world 1,200 years before the world of The Witcher. It will tell the story of the creation of the first prototype Witcher and the events leading up to the pivotal “conjunction of the spheres” that resulted in monsters, men, and elves becoming one.

Yeoh is known for her roles in Stark Trek: Discovery, Crazy Rich Asians, Boss Level, Tomorrow Never Dies, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Memories of a Geisha, and Last Christmas. Her upcoming features include Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Gunpowder Milkshake, and multiple Avatar sequels.

What it lacks in the big-budget grandeur of Game of Thrones and the Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Witcher makes up for in excitement, imagination, and a decent storyline that holds together despite its many intricacies and time jumps.

At the helm, playing the eponymous Witcher is recent Man of Steel himself, Henry Cavill. Any fears that his Superman fame would overshadow this role are soon laid to rest in the opening scene. Cavill emerges leather-clad and sword-wielding from a swampy river mid-battle with a fearsome multi-limbed creature that wouldn’t look out of place in a Star Wars film.

Cavill is almost unrecognizable in his leather elven costume with long white hair and brooding attitude. Witchers are ostracised mercenary monster hunters said to have no emotions and Cavil nails this to a tee, merely grunting ‘Hmm’ to show both approval and disapproval in almost every scene without it becoming tiresome. Despite his supposed lack of emotions and mercenary nature, however, he appears to have a strict moral code that allows us to warm to him.

There are many characters and their stories unravel in constant time jumps throughout the series, unraveling backstories we didn’t realize we needed until they reveal themselves. This involves wizardry, royalty, destiny, morality, dragons and all the good things we have come to expect from a decent fantasy story.

The episodes themselves contain gripping standalone adventures too, so we never feel lost in the more intricate plot lines as we are too busy enjoying the immediate swash-buckling sub-story at hand.

Most of these mini-stories center around a monster or two, and there is plenty of swordplay and battling to keep the adrenaline pumping. Whether it be a CGI monster, a group of expendable baddies or a more skillful adversary, the choreography is spot on and Cavill proves that he is just as adept swirling a sword as he is with shooting laser eyes.

By the end, we are fully invested in the characters and their storylines. The Witcher season one leaves us wanting more and we look forward to finding out how each character’s destiny unfolds in series two.
