Henry Cavill is set to return for his final appearance as the monster-hunting Witcher, Geralt of Rivia, in the third season of Netflix's fantasy drama, The Witcher. Known for his commanding presence, and undeniable talent, Cavill has become one of the most sought-after actors in Hollywood today.
Henry Cavill landed the role of Geralt in The Witcher series in 2019 and has since appeared in two seasons, with the third season set to premiere in June 2023. His exit from the series has left fans brokenhearted and prompted the producers to replace the titular character with Liam Hemsworth. This marks the second time that Cavill has walked off from a fan-favorite character, after his departure from DCEU as Superman.
Henry Cavill has proven himself to be a versatile actor with a range of talents. With multiple superhero roles under his belt, the actor is looking towards a new phase in his career with a wider spectrum of roles. He already has multiple projects lined up for release in the near future, including Guy Ritchie's upcoming film, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare.
According to Deadline, Henry Cavill was also recruited as part of the cast for Guy Ritchie's new untitled big-budget film. The acclaimed director also cast Jake Gyllenhall and Eiza González in his upcoming project, both of whom have already worked with Ritchie previously.
The untitled project will start principal photography in the summer of 2023 in Spain with Ritchie in charge of the screenplay and direction. When approached by Deadline for some words on his upcoming project, this was what he had to say:
"There’s something special that happens when you collaborate with the same partners regularly: you build a shorthand and a trust that lets everybody do their best work. Jake, Henry and Eiza are all astonishingly talented, committed, and engaging actors. This is going to be an action-packed movie that is both intellectually stimulating and physically exhilarating."
Other than this, Henry Cavill also has multiple other projects in the works that would be released in the foreseeable future. In this article, we'll take a closer look at some of Henry Cavill's most anticipated projects that fans need to look out for.
