According to intuition from DeuxMoi, Henry Cavill lost his role in The Witcher due to “toxic behavior, misogyny and gambling addiction”.
According to an insider, Cavill was constantly late for filming and suffered from lack of sleep due to a “gambling addiction”, used video game slang at work that no one understood, constantly tried to make changes to scripts, ignored comments from female writers and directors, arbitrarily made changes to the script, removing kissing scenes and shirtless moments. These things ultimately led to Cavill leaving.
While filming the series, Cavill avoided working with female showrunners and only interacted with one of the writers, who was also a gamer (who was later fired due to complaints). After the screenwriter was fired, it all started: Cavill “did everything possible to delay production and make trouble.” The insider also clarified that Cavill hasn’t sexually harassed anyone, but her behavior has been “disrespectful and toxic.”
Cavill himself has not yet commented on all this information. However, even if this is true, the situation looks like a person who is a fan of the Witcher universe, realizing where he got himself, tried to change at least something, but in the end, completely disappointed in the project, stopped fighting windmills, not wanting to go to an unloved job. As for the filling of “misogyny”, this is already a classic, where any conflicts and disputes with a woman, in any case convenient, are attributed to their gender, and not to professionalism and competence.
