Hes a huge fan if source material, campaigned for the role before it even started, based on his quote in that story, seems like he would be disillusioned by the writers wanting changes to the canon |
It was a passion project for Henry and he didn't have enough control to guide it the same way, say, Ryan Reynolds can control and steer Deadpool. I can't think of anything more gut-punchy than something you start because you love what it can be, only to have other people just tear it up around you and refuse to let that happen.
I've enjoyed netflix' Witcher almost entirely on the back of Cavill and Freya Allan. The contempt for the source material and the producer's desperation to emulate GoT's final few seasons of "subvert expectations" have been notable and jarringly bad, but the actors themselves have kept the show above water. I think losing Cavill will put a nail in the coffin for this show. Liam Hemsworth has been cast, but I won't be shocked if we never see him play the character.
