Although it still does not have an official release date, the return of Netflix's The Witcher is getting closer. Rumors point to a launch for the summer of next year, but until then we will have to settle for the few crumbs that the American platform has been leaving along the way. In the case of our article today, it is an interview given by actor Liam Hemsworth to the YouTube channel Bad Crazy Gamer.

As you probably already know, Hemsworth will replace Henry Cavill in the role of Geralt of Rivia starting in the fourth season of the Netflix series. Now, and thanks to this talk, we have been able to know that Liam Hemsworth follows in the footsteps of Henry Cavill… more or less. And the Australian interpreter, brother of Chris, He has declared himself a fan of The Witcher 3although not all are common traits with the previous Geralt.

Liam Hemsworth, fan of The Witcher, but not passionate

These have been the exact words of Liam Hemsworth in the aforementioned interview about his past with The Witcher saga and the prior knowledge that he had before being signed as the new Geralt of Rivia:

“I hadn't seen the TV series and I hadn't read the books, but I had played the video game (The Witcher 3) like ten years ago or so. And still to this day it is one of the best games of all time. “Netflix approached me almost two years ago now and said they wanted me to come on board and take over.”

As you can see, despite declaring himself a fan of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, CD Projekt's masterpiece and one of the best-selling video games in history, Hemsworth is very far in terms of knowledge of the franchise regarding Henry Cavillwho was an avid reader of Andrzej Sapkowski's work and who even took his ideas and mental notes to filming to correct the creative team.

Wanting to be more faithful to the original work than the creators of the series themselves was one of the big reasons why Cavill detached himself from the Netflix series, which ended up leading to his departure and the signing of Liam Hemsworth to replace him.
