Rumor Claims Henry Cavill Was Fired From The Witcher For Being Toxic

A new rumor claims that Netflix fired Henry Cavill from The Witcher. In other words, Cavill didn’t quit for creative differences; furthermore, he didn’t split due to his Superman return.

After all, DC Studios co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran chose to reboot the franchise instead. They will hire a new, younger actor for the Man of Steel.

Thus, Henry Cavill would’ve left The Witcher for nothing,

According to the latest gossip, Netflix let him go for toxic behavior. DeuxMoi originally revealed the allegations. I absolutely have no familiarity with them. However, Comic Book Movie explains that “the source has shared quite a few stories that turned out to be accurate in the past.” Nevertheless, this stays as rumor for the moment. In fact, nobody might ever prove it. Without a doubt, whenever an actor leaves a project there’s always the potential for bitter former co-workers.

Still, the true reasons for his Witcher departure remain unsettled. Given that, anyone can fill in the blanks. Whether it’s true or not.

Per the report:

Cavill was actually fired from the Netflix show after repeatedly being cautioned about his “toxic, gamer-bro” like behaviour. It’s said that Cavill grew increasingly difficult to work with, especially to female members of the crew. There were no complaints of a sexual nature, but his language was reportedly toxic and disrespectful all the same.

Apparently, “someone on the show” compared Cavill’s alleged gamer bro radicalization to “watching someone get brainwashed by QAnon.’

On the contrary, the piece suggests Henry Cavill lost his Superman role due to these sorts of antics. Consequently, that throws mud on its credibility. Indeed, recasting Superman had nothing to do with Cavill’s personality. Gunn already had a vision that, sadly, didn’t include him. Still, Gunn extended Cavill an olive branch for a multiverse appearance. I strongly believe Kingdom Come welcomes Cavill home.

Because of that alone, I’m questioning this. Still, they say the truth is always in the middle. Therefore, there could be some accuracy to this. Certainly, there might’ve been a personality clash here and there. It happens to everyone. Even Superman.
