Here’s why Henry Cavill left Netflix’s ‘The Witcher’

The reason for one of the leading actor Henry Cavill existing from Netflix’s Th Witcher has been unveiled.

Over the last several months since Henry Cavill stepped down from his long-running role on The Witcher, since then social media users have been wondering how things jumped so far off the tracks so quickly.

A very back-and-forth situation, the blame has been placed on both the show’s leading actor as well as its showrunner, Lauren Schmidt Hissrich.

Lauren Schmidt Hissrich explained the writers’ thoughts behind the traumatic Season 2 death that shook the fandom to its core, saying that her first pass at penning the horse’s death was to give it a meta-comedy edge. In the video, Henry Cavill can be seen sitting so unhappy with the way this scene was initially scripted that he pushed to have it changed.

It was a rough year for Henry Cavill as, after he stuck to his guns and stepped away from The Witcher, he came to find out that he wouldn’t be reprising his role as Superman after all, something that seemed like a set deal.

On the work front, Cavill’s upcoming projects include The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare and ‘Argylle’.
