For fans of The xex onlineWitcher, the subject of recasting of Geralt of Rivia from Henry Cavill to Liam Hemsworth will likely start a tavern brawl.
And now, there's a visual to fuel the fire, with Netflix dropping a first look at Hemsworth as the titular Witcher. It's a quick peek, but it's been enough to get the internet talking again.
SEE ALSO: How does Henry Cavill finish up as Geralt in 'The Witcher'?On Wednesday, Netflix dropped a pretty short teaser of Hemsworth as he'll appear in Season 4 of The Witcher. The clip simply shows Geralt from behind, then moves closer where we can see it's no longer Cavill in the silver wig.

The news of Cavill's departure from the show, announced in November 2022, has spurred pretty emotional reactions from viewers. The lead of Netflix's adaptation of Andrzej Sapkowski's books, who had been successfully fine-tuning his version of the beloved character since 2019, Cavill finished up his run as Geralt in Season 3.
Following the semi-reveal of Hemsworth wearing Geralt's signature silver hair, double-handed sword, and leather armor, fans inevitably flocked to social media to give their two cents.
On TikTok, @yourTVgirl posted a solid explainer on Hemsworth's early shortlisting with the casting team on The Witcher, and @pisceswithasideoffries examined Cavill's star power impact on whether people will return to watch the show or not.
On X (formerly Twitter), reactions mainly seemed targeted at the show's writing rather than the recasting (although there were plenty of staunch Cavill fans too).
