Apart from portraying Superman on-screen, the actor has played Charles Brandon inThe Tudorsfrom 2007 to 2010 and Geralt of Rivia in Netflix’s fantasy seriesThe Witcherfrom 2019 to 2023. The actor has received love and appreciation for his performances, and over the years, Cavill has managed to solidify his place in the industry.
Cavill’s role as Geralt of Rivia was taken over by Australian actor Liam Hemsworth after the British actor announced on his social media that he would be returning as Superman in the DC Universe. Unfortunately, it was later revealed that Cavill would not reprise his superhero character following the shake-up at DC Studios, with James Gunn and Peter Safran taking over as co-CEOs. It has been reported that Netflix wasted an opportunity by callingThe Witcheralumnus to voice a character that Henry Cavill could have played flawlessly.

Netflix wasted an opportunity by not calling Henry Cavill back forThe Witcher: Sirens of the Deep
Without a doubt,Henry Cavill’s portrayal of Geralt of Rivia inThe Witcherfor three seasons has been an absolute favorite for the audience and the critics. Fans were disappointed when the actor announced his departure from the show and have expressed from time to time that they would like to see the actor reprise the role someday. Especially now that Superman is out of the picture.
But once again, fans have been left disappointed as the streaming giant missed an opportunity to take advantage of the actor’s fan base and popularity to garner attention forThe Witcher: Sirens of the Deep. Netflix went ahead and cast Doug Cockle to voice the character, and left Cavill out, who, with his brilliant performance, had already won over the audience.
Cockle is an excellent voice-over actor, but when compared to Cavill’s popularity, he falls a little short. Cavill’s fan base started tosolidify when he appeared as Clark Kent, but his performances, over a period of time, have attained him the status of being one of the most influential actors in the industry.
