TheThings.com As if Henry Cavill wasn't muscular enough as DC's Man of Steel, he recently spent a lot of time at the gym to become the impossibly-chiseled Geralt in Netflix's The Witcher. Cavill got so jacked that his muscles constantly busted through his costumes, and now he's putting his fitness to good use by running to benefit the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust and help save endangered species from extinction. Becoming Even Bigger Than Superman In order to portray The Witcher's Geralt, Cavill improved upon his Superman musculature and spent countless hours training at the gym. He even worked with Dave Rienzi, a bodybuilding expert who trains Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. Reviews for The Witcher, which premiered on Netflix last December, have been mixed, but with a potential second season in mind, Cavill is already back to training. A Costume Designer's Worst Nightmare While Cavill's bulging muscles helped attract viewers to The Witcher, his hulking frame made things incredibly difficult for the show's costume designers. "Not only was the actor particular about his outfit, but that during shooting, his muscles wore down the leather at such an alarming rate that replacements were constantly produced to meet the production's needs," Tim Aslam, The Witcher's costume designer, told Polygon. Cavill Is Putting His Training To Good Use While much of Cavill's focus on the gym has been on becoming stronger and more muscular, he's now starting to work more on his cardio as well. The 36-year-old actor will be participating in The Durrell Challenge, a 13k race to benefit the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust, one of his favorite charities. The trust works to save endangered species from extinction, and Cavill told fans on Instagram that his double training is now not only for The Witcher season 2, but "for all the ecosystems of the world" as well. The 8-mile race will take place in Jersey in the UK on May 17. Fans looking to "toss a coin to their Witcher" and donate can sign up at doitfordurrell.com. Next: 20 Little Known Facts About The Witcher's Henry Cavill

Sign in to your ScreenRant account Henry Cavill has long been hinting at his dissatisfaction with The Witcher, and it sadly should come as no surprise that he's departing. For Henry Cavill, the opportunity to play the character of Geralt was something of a dream come true. "I really enjoy playing these kind of games and reading these kinds of books in my spare time," he observed in an interview back in 2019. "I don’t consider it a job. For me it is more like an extraordinary opportunity to live my childhood and adult life fantasies" (via Hobby Consolas). This, more than anything else, has made the recent news Cavill is leaving The Witcher after season 3 particularly shocking.In truth, though, Cavill has been hinting at his displeasure with Netflix's The Witcher franchise for quite some time. The problems stem from the very fact he is a fan of the source material - both the books and the games. He's clearly wanted to be part of a faithful adaptation, one that brought to life everything he loved about Andrzej Sapkowski's novels and those classic games. In contrast, however, the creative team behind The Witcher has clearly showed little respect for the source material, and the story feels as though it's increasingly deviating from the one Cavill loves. How The Witcher’s Writers Drove Cavill Away Cavill had previously committed to The Witcher's seven-season plans, but in interviews he'd made it clear there was a caveat. He insisted he was only on board "as long as we can keep telling great stories which honor [author Andrzej] Sapkowski’s work” (via The Hollywood Reporter). That point has come up time and again, including when Cavill was pressed about whether his character Geralt could work with other Witchers more in future seasons. "It all depends on how much the story allows," he observed in an interview published on The Witcher's YouTube channel. "I’m a huge fan of the books and staying loyal to them, and it’s about making sure that story happens without too much in the way of diversions or side things going on to muddy the waters." It's long been clear the creative team working on The Witcher didn't share that same attitude, however. The Witcher season 2's ending went in a very different direction to Sapkowski's books, complete with a main villain - the Deathless Mother - who doesn't exist in the novels at all. A rare behind-the-scenes glimpse was recently provided by writer Beau DeMayo, who explained he'd left The Witcher in part because of the attitude some of his fellow writers had towards the games and novels. On an Instagram story, DeMayo claimed "some of [them] were not [fans] or

See Henry Cavill as Riker for the new Star Trek 4 movie. This article is more than 2 years old According to our trusted and proven sources, the upcoming Star Trek 4 will be bringing on an array of new actors to portray Enterprise-D. With the latest news revolving around the hottest A-list actors being considered for the roles, we tried generating some AI art of what Henry Cavill would look like as the new Riker on our official GFR Instagram. With 5 upcoming projects in active development according to his IMDB page, the former Man of Steel star is keeping busy after his departure from both the DC franchise and Netflix’s The Witcher, but we’re sure the self-professed super nerd would be overjoyed to take the role in Star Trek 4. The upcoming fourth installment in J.J. Abrams’ Kelvin Timeline of Star Trek films is rumored to be recasting such iconic figures as Geordi La Forge, Worf, and even Patrick Stewart’s Jean-Luc Picard. The upcoming film may even serve as a backdoor pilot for the Next Generation‘s own reboot film, with Paramount Pictures still set to produce new Star Trek content under Abrams’ direction. Having recently been axed by two major franchises, Henry Cavill may be a fan-favorite pick to play Jonathan Frakes’ iconic first officer. For comparison, here’s Frakes in the original Star Trek: The Next Generation role…Jonathan Frakes as Commander William RikerAfter a tumultuous turnover in leadership at DC, Henry Cavill lost the role of a lifetime when James Gunn announced he would not be returning as Superman. Cavill most recently returned to the role in a cameo appearance in the Dwayne Johnson-led film Black Adam. While it is unclear at this time who will be taking on the reigns of the Last Son of Krypton in Gunn’s own upcoming Superman film, it was confirmed that Cavill’s final appearance in the franchise has already been shot. Henry CavillThis information dovetailed with reports that Henry Cavill had parted ways with Netflix due to creative differences, forcing the streamer to recast his leading role in The Witcher with Liam

Actively disliked the books and games (even actively mocking the source material.)" It's easy to see why a fan like Cavill would be unhappy with this approach and working environment. What Cavill Leaving Means For The Witcher As An Adaptation There have already been signs The Witcher season 3 will move away from the books, with Robbie Amell cast as what seems to be a major elf character who doesn't even exist in Sapkowski's works. Presumably The Witcher's writing team - and, indeed, showrunner Lauren Schmidt Hissrich - have no intention in strictly adhering to the source material going forward, leading to creative differences that made Cavill feel he could no longer be part of the hit Netflix show. This will surely infuriate some portions of the fanbase, meaning future seasons of The Witcher will be increasingly controversial. The Rock May Have Helped Cavill Leave Dwayne Johnson is known to have pushed for Cavill's Black Adam cameo, outmaneuvering then-DC Films boss Walter Hamada to get his way. It's entirely possible he played a part in encouraging Cavill to leave The Witcher as well, by offering him a shot at returning to the Superman franchise and becoming the Superman he had always wanted to be. It's interesting to note, though, that Cavill is also reuniting with Guy Ritchie for The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, a spy thriller set during World War II. This will give Cavill an opportunity to play Ian Fleming, the creator of James Bond, and Ritchie hopes the film will be the beginning of another new franchise. All this makes it seem as though some very attractive opportunities came up for Henry Cavill at the very moment The Witcher was taking a direction he disagreed with. The simplest solution was to jump ship, with Cavill departing and Liam Hemsworth taking over as Geralt from season 4 onwards. It's disappointing news for lovers of Netflix's The Witcher, and it leaves the franchise's entire future in doubt. But it is a completely understandable decision on Cavill's part.

SERIESA un par de meses de que Netflix estrene la segunda temporada de ‘The Witcher’, la ficción sobre el personaje Andrzej Sapkowski, Henry Cavill ha compartido una sorprendente imagen de un compañero de reparto.'Juego de Tronos' fue una serie pionera en muchos sentidos y se convirtió en un verdadero fenómeno a nivel mundial. Una de las series que pretendía llenar el vacío dejado por la adaptación televisiva de la famosa saga literaria creada George R.R. Martin, era 'The Witcher', otra adaptación a la pequeña pantalla, esta vez de la saga literaria de Geralt de Rivia, el personaje creado por el escritor polaco Andrzej Sapkowski y cuyas andanzas ya habían sido plasmadas con éxito en el mundo de los videojuegos.Efectivamente, el estreno de ‘The Witcher’ en Netflix fue un éxito que tendrá continuidad a partir de diciembre cuando se estrene la segunda temporada con la seguridad también de que habrá una tercera. Uno de los principales reclamos de la serie, más allá de su argumento, fue la participación de Henry Cavill, un actor ya consolidado que dotaba de cierto caché al proyecto tras interpretar a Superman.En cualquier caso, la serie, en su segunda temporada, seguirá sumando alicientes para captar más adeptos. Y uno de ellos también hace referencia al reparto, como el propio Cavill se ha encargado de compartir en sus perfiles sociales, ensalzando la figura de un actor que ya encandiló a la audiencia con su papel en 'Juego de Tronos'.“El asombroso, el maravilloso, el eléctrico y el enigmático Kristofer Hivju. Kristofer fue extraordinariamente valiente para la temporada 2 de 'The Witcher' y decidió interpretar a su personaje de Nivellen sin maquillaje ni efectos visuales, como se puede ver en la imagen. Kristofer, estamos todos muy orgullosos”, asegura el británico.AmpliarKristofer Hivju, Tormund Matagigantes en Juego de Tronos.HBOY es que el noruego Kristofer Hivju (42), que dio vida al carismático y querido Tormund Matagigantes en Juego de Tronos, será uno de los nuevos rostros que llegarán con el estreno de la segunda temporada de la serie. Y, a buen seguro, no dejará indiferente a nadie.
