Following the uproaring news of Henry Cavill not continuing the role of Superman and the Geralt of Rivia in ‘The Witcher’, fans were perplexed as to where the 39-year-old superstar was headed. The reason for the fans’ shock regarding Cavill’s discontinuation as DC’s Superman was built on the fact that the star had recently confirmed his comeback to the franchise. However, he remained afar from the Netflix series ‘The Witcher’ after he announced his exit, following which, Liam Hemsworth became the torchbearer. In good spirits, the actor had passed regard to the respective makers for a flourishing journey ahead and was simultaneously laying the foundation for his next project.

Speculations have been coming up with every passing minute since Cavill made an official statement which exalted the video gaming community.
