There’s high anticipation to see how Liam Hemsworth will take up the role of Geralt of Rivia in The Witcher Season 4, with Freya Allan giving her thoughts on his entry into the series.
Freya Allan has been with the series since its inception as Princess Ciri, so she knows her way around. She previously spoke about her trepidation on returning forThe Witcher Season 4now that Hemsworth will lead the season afterHenry Cavill’s exit.
In a recent interview withColliderfor Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, the actor reveals she does feel sorry for Hemsworth’s predicament surrounding his involvement in The Witcher.
“I don’t want to speak for him, but from what I’ve understood, I feel like he’s really wanting to try and bring the heart. He’s been training. I feel sorry for him, honestly, because, number one, that fan base can be very attack-y, and it’s not an ideal situation to be in taking up someone else’s role. But I’m really excited to see what he does. And he’s such a lovely guy. I just hope that people give him the time of day, you know?” said Allan.
Fans had expected Cavill to be in it for the long haul seeing as he often talked about his love forThe Witcher and its original books. This led to Hemsworth having big boots to fill with some not sold on him being the monster hunter. Fan mock-ups were made of how the actor would look at Geralt and some held onto hope that Season 4 could work. But for many, it was simply the drastic change in actors they couldn’t stand by.
