The actor who rejected ‘The Witcher’ and now fans want him instead of Liam Hemsworth

The announcement that Liam Hemsworth would replace Henry Cavill for the fourth season of ‘The Witcher’ has not gone over well with fans of the Netflix series. And is that, after the wishes that the company strives to bring back the British actor, it does not seem that their requests are being heard, and now they have concentrated their efforts on bringing back an old acquaintance who rejected the series.

It’s about nothing less than Mads Mikkelsen, who turned down Vesemir’s role in ‘The witcher in the past, and who has shown no interest in being part of the fantastic universe of Netflix. The exact reasons why the ‘Doctor Strange’ actor turned down the role of Geralt de Rivia’s mentor are unknown, but now fans want to see him in the next chapter of the saga.

Through social networks, thousands of fans shared their wishes to see Mads Mikkelsen as Geralt of Rivia ‘The witcher’, especially after digital artist Wonkli Cho imagined what the actor would look like in the role vacated by Henry Cavill. And while Liam Hemsworth didn’t make his debut on the show, fans think he might be better off looking at other options.

Another of the actors who turned down the role of Vesemir in ‘The witcher’ was Michael Keaton, known for his role as Batman in Tim Burton’s films, and whose role they turned down is unknown. Either way, it’s a few months away Liam Hemsworth start filming your scenes as the new Geralt, so if Netflix recasts the lead again, you might hear fans.

Will Henry Cavill Return to ‘The Witcher’?

Unfortunately for fans of the series based on Andrzej Sapjowski’s novels, Henry Cavill’s Superman schedule will keep him busy for the next few years, and while that doesn’t mean he’ll be dedicated solely to it, his return to ‘The Witcher’ it seems impossible. Since, in addition to the official version, the withdrawal of him is believed to be due to creative differences with the platform.

On the other hand, Liam Hemsworth was unfortunate enough to be left with a fan-favorite role, so even if we haven’t seen anything of his portrayal of Geralt of Rivia, there are 80% of fans who refuse to continue Geralt’s role story without Cavill at the helm of the series. This could spell losses for Netflix, so they still have plenty of time to do something about it.

For now it is known that the third part of ‘The Witcher’ will arrive at the end of 2023, still without a confirmed release date, and that it will be the last time that Cavill will wear the armor and the sword of the white wizard. While Netflix has a lot to fix in the future of the continent’s story, Ciri and the new spin-off, ‘The Origin of Blood’, which will be released on December 25th.
