The Witcher director addresses the circumstances around Henry Cavill's exit: "These are demanding shows to make"
Henry Cavill is leaving Geralt of Rivia behind

The Witcher director Marc Jobst, who directed several episodes of the first season, has shared his thoughts on Henry Cavill's departure from the Netflix show. The actor, who’s played Geralt of Rivia for three seasons, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:has 🀅hung up his sword as the monster hunter, ready to be 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:replaced by Liam Hemsworth in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Witcher season 4.
Addressing Cavill’s exit, Jobst shared his perspective to . "Look, Henry has done three series, these are demanding shows to make, you know, they are huge," he said ahead of his work on the new anime adaptation One Piece. "Henry does every single b൩eat of his stunts, he won't even allow a hand, if you're doing a close-up of a hand grabbing a sword, it has to be his hand.
"So, normally, what you do is 𒐪you bring in a double, Henry will go off and shoot some other scene in which he's in somewhere else, and you get somebody else into the hand, so that you don't have to bother your number one. Henry won't do that, and as a result of that, the result♊s are extraordinary. You're working with an incredible athlete, first and foremost, who works out hours before, and hours after, you've been shooting for 12 hours, and who cares deeply about the work that he does."
Jobst went on to mention some of the epic sequences Cavill played a big hand in, including the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:unforgettable Blaviken fight in the first season. The director says the actor was often worꦍking non-stop to make sure the stunts looked asꦏ perfect as possible.
"That's draining on your number one, so after three series, I feel, 'Ok✃ay, he's brought the show into being, and if he feels like he's done what he can, I trust him,'" the director adds. "That focus t♓hat he has, that desire to get it right, is a gift to work with because it elevates everybody to say, 'Good enough isn't good enough. It's got to be fantastic.'"
Cavill has yet to give a specific reason for his exit from the show, but 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:t⛄here&rsquo✨;s been a lot of speculation. However, his co-star Anya Chal🔯otra shut down dis🙈cussions that it was due to disagreements behind the scenes.
