Recently, Henry Cavill returned as the Man of Steel in the mid-credits scene of Dwayne Johnson’s Black Adam, telling him that they have to talk, as well as reportedly making his exit from the Netflix series, The Witcher, with Liam Hemsworth to replace his role as Geralt of Rivia. Now, he is being speculated of joining Westeros. The actor responds to his casting rumors for House of the Dragon season 2.
Henry Cavill attended a live on-stage interview with Josh Horowitz of the Happy Sad Confused podcast where Cavill was asked about whether the recent rumors about him playing a role in House of the Dragon season 2 and Loki season 2 were true. The actor joked about seeing the resemblance between The Witcher and the Targaryens, but ultimately stating he was not joining the show. You can watch the interview below:
“To be fair, when I was watching House of the Dragon, I was like, ‘I feel like a lot of these guys could make really good Witchers…’ I think it would be cool to be in Westeros, I really do. I don’t think there’s a place for me in there, though.”
Along with Henry Cavill joining House of the Dragon rumors, there was Elizabeth Olsen who was initially speculated to be a part of the show’s cast, as well. But of course, she was quick to address this by saying how although she would be interested in a role, she was confused at its ‘randomness’, “How random. Why him? Why me? … I don’t even know that guy, either!”
Although fans have been speculating that the actor left The Witcher to make way for a different role, it was actually because he had a disagreement behind-the-scenes on The Witcher’s showrunners for refusing to fully adapt the series from its original source material.
For now, you can catch his return on The Witcher Season 3 which premieres in 2023, with no official production start date for The Witcher Season 4. Meanwhile, Enola Holmes 2 will be released on Netflix on November 4.
