The WitcherExecutive Producer Breaks Silence on Henry Cavill’s Exit
Although it has been rumored that creative differences betweenHenry Cavilland the showrunners eventually led to his exit, there might be more to it. Tomek Bagiński revealed that Cavill’s untimely exit was out of the blue, and he was aware of the situation a few days after the official announcement. He further claimed he learned about“many things after the fact”, but didn’t want to go into it, implying there might be something more than just creative differences between Cavill and the writers.
“After shooting Season 3, I took my first vacation in four years and cut myself off. I found out about the case a few days before the official announcement,” Bagiński says. “I do not want to go into the reasons for this decision, because I learned about many things after the fact.”
Although most of the details have been kept away from the public eye, it’s reasonable to assume Cavill’s adamancy about being faithful to the books might’ve created some rift between him and the writers.
