Henry writes in a social media statement: ❝ My journey as Geralt of Rivia has been filled with both monsters and adventures, and alas, I will be laying down my medallion and my swords for Season 4. 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.
Liam, good sir, this character has such a wonderful depth to him, enjoy diving in and seeing what you can find.❞

Meanwhile, Liam Hemsworth is excited about this new adventure: ❝As a Witcher fan I’m over the moon about the opportunity to play Geralt of Rivia,” he said in a statement. “Henry Cavill has been an incredible Geralt, and I’m honoured that he’s handing me the reins and allowing me to take up the White Wolf’s blades for the next chapter of his adventure. Henry, I’ve been a fan of yours for years and was inspired by what you brought to this beloved character. I may have some big boots to fill, but I’m truly excited to be stepping into The Witcher world.❞

Based on the best-selling book by Andrzej Sapkowski, the series follows the journey of the witcher Geralt across the Continent battling all manner of monsters and evils. On this journey, he bonds with the powerful mage Yennefer (Anya Chalotra) and the princess Cintran Ciri (Freya Allan) as they run from wizards, kings, and monsters who trying to capture Ciri.

Indeed, there í still a long way to go before Hemsworth starts taking Geralt's swords and medallation. The Witcher: Blood Origin - a prequel that explores the creation of the first prototype Witcher - will premiere on December 25, 2022 and The Witcher Season 3 will follow shortly after in the summer of 2023.

So far it is not clear if Liam will play a new character but carring the title of Geralt of Rivia or remain an original Geralt.

A few days ago, Henry Cavill also revealed that he would soon return to the role of Superman Clark Kent in the DC Cinematic Universe. As Superman, Henry Cavill has been recently seen in the credits of the premiering Black Adam movie staring Dwayne Johnson.

Blood Origin is set in the Continent of the Elves 1,200 years before the events of "The Witcher" as it is now "colonized" and under human domination. As we see in The Witcher, the Elves are now a weak minority on a Continent they once ruled over.

The history of the Elves in the Sage "The Witcher" is described quite sketchly, so it is difficult to imagine how much it had advanced in the past, and why the Elves always mentions their "past glory" or "golden time" they once embraced. 

De Barra - one of the creators for the Witcher universe (The Witcher, Nightmare of the Wolf, Blood Origin ...) said something like ...when you look at our own history, the societies that were at their peak high, like the Roman Empire or the Maya Empire, there was just before the fall and then we are in the dark. 

The history of the Elves in The Witcher cinematic universe will be built like that, and it's definitely not the humans would help to civilize the elves society as we may think.

Blood Origin will tell a story lost to time - exploring the creation of the first prototype Witcher, and the events that lead to the pivotal “Conjunction of the Spheres”, when the worlds of monsters, men, and elves merged to become one.

• Sophia Brown ... Éile, a warrior in the Queen's guard, but later left to become a traveling musician.
• Laurence O'Fuarain ... Fjall, a man born into a clan of warriors swore to protect the King, but instead set a path on vengeance.
