Liam Hemsworth’s portrayal of Geralt in The Witcher won’t be seen by fans for some time, but YouTuber StryderHD has used deepfake technology to offer fans who can hardly wait, a peak at what they can look forward to.

Hemsworth has been in fan art before, of course, but this is the first time he has truly moved and interacted with show elements thanks to this technology.

After The Witcher’s third season, Liam Hemsworth will take Henry Cavill’s spot in the series, according to a 2017 Netflix announcement.

The news was released shortly after Cavill played Superman in Black Adam, which caused many people to speculate that he would be in charge of a new Superman film and that would account for his absence.

Instead, the actor switched to competing streaming service Amazon to become a Warhammer series hero.

Showrunner Lauren Hissrich stated that “I’m so excited for viewers. I think that it’s just a new chapter for us. And I think new chapters bring new energy and that people will find things to love. So yeah, personally, I’m really excited.”

Apart from his other endeavors, Cavill has voiced his disapproval of parts of the Witcher plot, which has led some to speculate that the departure sprang from creative differences between the actor and the creators.

In any case, given that neither he nor anybody at Netflix seems eager to discuss it, it is probable that we won’t learn the precise details of the rift between them for a while, if ever.

Geralt of Rivia transports Princess Cirilla to Kaer Morhen, his childhood home, because he believes Yennefer’s life was lost during the Battle of Sodden.

He has to defend the girl from something even more terrible than the monarchs, elves, humans, and demons that fight for dominance outside the walls of the Continent – the peculiar power she seems to possess.
