The Witcher Season 3 marked the end of Henry Cavill's tenure on the Netflix series, to much controversy. While the actor has been mum about his departure from the show, one of the directors believes that the workload has led the actor to depart from the hit TV series.
In an interview with Screen Rant, director Marc Jobst addressed Cavill's exit after season three. The director believes that the series has taken its toll on the actor. Jobst explained that making a series like The Witcher is very demanding on its actors, especially someone like Cavill who does his own stunts.
"Look, Henry has done three series, these are demanding shows to make, you know, they are huge. Henry does every single beat of his stunts, he won't even allow a hand, if you're doing a close-up of a hand grabbing a sword, it has to be his hand." Jobst shared.
"So, normally, what you do is you bring in a double, Henry will go off and shoot some other scene in which he's in somewhere else, and you get somebody else into the hand, so that you don't have to bother your number one."
"Henry won't do that, and as a result of that, the results are extraordinary. You're working with an incredible athlete, first and foremost, who works out hours before, and hours after, you've been shooting for 12 hours, and who cares deeply about the work that he does."
