Henry Cavill’s exit from The Witcher set the fandom buzzing, since his rugged take on Geralt defined the character for many viewers. Liam Hemsworth steps in, and Netflix issued a Season 4 trailer that offers our first look at his portrayal. Early fan responses have skewed positive, particularly for how he handles action sequences.
On Reddit, a user known as u/badfortheenvironment praised Hemsworth for delivering a harsher, more brutal vibe in the fight choreography, a shift some view as a strength for the Witcher’s swordplay.
Not everyone is sold yet. Some fans say they’ll judge his performance on Season 4 itself rather than Cavill’s legacy, and a commenter named u/RudeCartoonist1030 notes they’re open to giving Hemsworth a chance even if they dislike the writing, admiring other production elements.
Season 4 is slated to arrive on Netflix on October 30, and Hemsworth’s debut is a big part of the show’s new era. The early footage has sparked cautious optimism that the series can carry forward under a fresh lead.
What fans are saying in brief
Overall, curiosity appears to trump comparisons as audiences await the full run.
