The third season of The Witcher will be the final season for actor Henry Cavill in the lead role of Geralt of Rivia, which Liam Hemsworth will fill in season 4, series creator and showrunner Lauren Hissrich tells Entertainment Weekly that season 3 will give Cavill "the most heroic sendoff" they could give. Season 3 has been adapted from the fourth book, Time of Concept, by author Andrzej Sapkowski's Witcher series.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Henry Cavill is putting DC Studio behind him and jumping over to Amazon as he's attached to star and executive produce a series adaptation of Warhammer 40,000, the popular science-fiction fantasy miniature wargame. Amazon and Games Workshop, producers of the game are in the final talks after months of negotiations and fending off rival companies that also sought the rights. As of now, there are no writers or showrunners for the series, although Vertigo Entertainment is attached to also executive produce. Warhammer is akin to Dungeons & Dragons — dice are involved in the playing — but also features intricate miniatures that players can place and move around a model-constructed battlefield or world. Games Workshop in the 1980s made miniatures for D&D and launched the game in 1987. It has become the most popular miniature wargame in the world and spawned many imitators. The game’s setting is 40,000 years into the future where things are dark indeed. Human civilization has stopped progressing and is in an unending war with aliens and magical beings, with gods and demons figuring into a theological class system. The humans make up the Imperium of Man, which is militaristic. A race of skeleton-like androids is known as the Necron; there is an elvish race known as Aeldari as well as Orks; Tyranids are nasty aliens, and the T’au is a blue-skinned alien race that may offer some hope. The project is still in the early stages and Amazon has yet to close the deal.

Netflix has announced that The Witcher has been renewed for a fourth season, except we won't be seeing Henry Cavill as Geralt of Rivia. After Season three, Cavill has decided to step down from the role and will be replaced by Liam Hemsworth. The third season of the series will return in the summer 2023. A four-part prequel series, The Witcher: Blood Origin launches December 25th, 2022. The Witcher is a story of the intertwined destinies of three individuals in the vast world of The Continent, where humans, elves, witchers, gnomes, and monsters battle to survive and thrive, and where good and evil is not easily identified. Sources have informed Deadline that Cavill only signed a short-term deal and felt it was time to move on after three seasons. The show is also filmed overseas and has a demanding production schedule. Lauren Schmidt Hissrich is showrunner and executive producer. Tomek Baginski, Jason F. Brown, Sean Daniel, Mike Ostrowski, Steve Gaub and Jarosław Sawko also executive produce.

Henry Cavill wanted to be a nice guy and wait until everyone had a chance to see Black Adam over the weekend before announcing that he was officially back as Superman. The end of Black Adam was teased with an appearance by Cavill as Superman, which leads us to believe that the sequel to Black Adam will have Dwayne Johnson’s anti-hero and the Man of Steel going 15 rounds. Check out the Instagram post by Cavill with his announcement and what was shown in Black Adam is just "a small taste of things to come.” https://www.instagram.com/reel/CkGjGIZL4rk/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

According to Variety, actor Henry Cavill is in talks with Warner Bros to once again dawn the cape for another Superman movie. Warner Bros. and Cavill’s reps couldn’t be reached for comment Wednesday.

Warner Bros' DCU Chaos Continues - Flash Delayed, Ben Affleck & Henry Cavill Out Entertainment by Jay Cochran - [edit post] October 16, 2018 Variety is reporting the the Flash stand-alone movie which is slated to star Ezra Miller from the Justice League movie will be delayed till some time in 2021. While the movie has never received an official release date, it was expected to start shooting next March and be released some time in 2020. According to the report, the script for the Flash movie is still being tweaked and that Miller himself will soon begin working on the third installment of the Fantastic Beasts trilogy where he has a sizeable supporting role, hence causing him to have a scheduling conflict. Warner Bros' DC Cinematic Universe has been struggling with chaos ever since their Justice League movie failed to perform well at the box office. Variety in this very report seems to confirm rumors that both Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill are officially out as Batman and Superman. Up until now the only modern DC movie to do well at the box office has ben Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman which is already getting a sequel later this year. After that in December Aquaman who is portrayed by Justice League alum Jason Momoa is next up for the stand-alone film treatment, but it is unknown how well it will perform. It's got its work cut out for it if you ask me. If Aquaman has another lack-luster performance at the box-office for Warner Bros, one has to wonder if they will be willing to role the dice at all on Flash or if they will just try and start over completely from scratch. We already have seen them starting to move forward with a Joker stand-alone movie that will star Joaquin Phoenix and seemingly has no connection with the Jared Leto version recently seen in Suicide Squad. Suicide Squad itself may be heading for a major re-haul as it was another movie that was not received well by most DC fans. Recent reports have suggested that Warner Bros is looking to bring in former Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn to write the script and possibly direct the next film. Gunn himself was recently fired by Disney for old tweets dug up online dealing with rape and pedophilia. While many fans have been willing to continue to support the somewhat disgraced director, the move to bring him in on another comic book based project has been viewed by some as nothing more than a publicity stunt on the part of Warner Bros. The future of the DCCU is unclear but everything Warner Bros. does seems to scream to me at least that they really have no clear cut vision for the property, and are just being reactive instead of proactive with it. To me that doesn't bode well for a comic book based universe that will ever be able to dethrone Marvel and Disney as king of the big screen super heroes.

THR reports that contract negotiations between Superman actor Henry Cavill and Warner Bros. has broken down and that he will definitely not be making a cameo in the upcoming Shazam movie, and likely will not don the red cape and blue tights again for the studio. The main reason for this is because the studio is shifting focus to making a Supergirl movie which would require a younger Kal-El and that there are no immediate plans for another Superman solo story anytime soon. Cavill isn't the only Justice League actor likely on the way out the door as Warner Bros. looks to try and reset their DCCU yet again with recent lackluster box-office performances from both Justice League and Dawn of Justice. Reports also indicate that Ben Affleck is out as Batman. The move to do a Supergirl movie is likely due to the fact that the only recent DC based movie to be deemed a box-office success for Warner Bros. was Gal Godot's Wonder Woman, which will see a sequel being released next year. Aquaman is the next movie up for release in December, but the hype for that movie has been pretty lack-luster at best, so I'm not getting my hopes up for it being a huge success.
