Henry Cavill Breaks Down The One Shot Fight Scene | The Witcher | Netflix 

Petition for Henry Cavill to make his own adaptation of the Witcher. He was clearly the most passionate person on that set.

Henry Cavill is so conscientious about all the aspects coming together--the technical, the storytelling, the audience POV. Would love to see him direct something. Will miss him terribly as Geralt.

Netflix dropped the ball by losing Henry Cavill. EVERY interview I see of him talking about Geralt you can clearly see how much passion and dedication he brings to this role. This will be my last season of Witcher. Thank you, Henry! I will really miss these cool fighting scenes.

Netflix, can you guys break down the writing process? I need a good laugh.

Liam Hemsworth is a fine actor and much of his stuff I like, but no one, and I mean NO ONE can match Henry Cavill's genuine enthusiasm, passion, and dedication that brought Geralt to life in live-action. You can tell he and the stunt team actually cared, not just for making an entertaining fight, but they wanted to display Geralt's character and show him at his very best. Netflix only has themselves to blame for letting HC walk away from the series.

Out of all the videos I have seen on RU-vid about Henry Cavill in regards to Superman and the Witcher, all the comments that I have read, the most common thing that strikes me is the "respect" that this actor has earned throughout the years, as a professional, humble, polite actor and human being that he is. Well done Henry, well deserved !

Very nice choreographed fight scene. The camera operator deserves an award.

I loved Cavill's slip of the tongue "I really wanted to... we really wanted to..." when he talked about the signs.

Damn if only the writers and showrunners cared as much as Henry does.

The last interview that Henry Cavill had with Josh Horowitz was very telling. Henry would never criticize anything outright, but between the lines he speaks volumes. I think when asked about Season 3 the only thing he said was that there were some good fight scenes because he brought Wolfgang Stegemann back. He didn’t waste any breath on the story or any other parts of the season 😅

i'm starting to miss Geralt already from the next season onwards

*At this point being a fan of the witcher books Idc if the writing is shitty i just wanna see Henry Cavill as Geralt rivia*

I hope Henry brings Wolfgang on for Warhammer! They seem to work together so well and their end product is stunning.

Here's the thing. Henry is such a professional and a good dude that we'll never hear him speak badly of the show. His career is going to be huge. And he deserves it.

I just don't understand how Netflix can let Henry Cavill walk away from this series. At this point just end the Witcher with Cavill.

When I heard that Henry Cavill wasn’t returning for season 4 because of “sources” that said he was “too difficult to work with,” I automatically knew it was because he’s very attentive to the details and probably knows the Witcher franchise better than all other people he works with. Thus, I wouldn’t be surprised if he aimed to perfect the craft, and I completely understand and back that. The man is also known to play video games, so I’m sure he also looks at the show from a gamer lens, and is conscious of what the Witcher reader/gamer community would appreciate in terms of accuracy. I personally love when creators keep things consistent. The Last of Us tv show was a great example of that. Don’t get me wrong, there are definitely actors who are very difficult to work with, but we need to stop labeling the people with an actual talent for this stuff as difficult people, and start listening to their advice. They simply know their stuff. I already see Henry as a director, but I would love to see him step fully into that sphere. I know he’ll create magic!

I know there's a lot we all want to say about Henry Cavill and this show in general, but it's nice to see - and give credit to - some of the objectively awesome work done by the crew. This fight was excellent and you can see the deep respect Henry and Wolfgang have for the skill of everyone involved in it.

It's so good to see the passion of Henry Cavill for this role.

I miss him already!!! OMG!!!

I do believe Henry might have a decent shot at a second career as an educator-perhaps in film. Great interview.

Seriously such a joy watching these two's joy in their work just come off the screen in this interview

The Witcher will end with this season for me and many others. Henry Cavill's passion is so awesome, and I think he was born for this role. You can't just replace the lead actor halfway through a show - it's like replacing Jennifer Lawrence in the third Hunger Games movie, replacing Daniel Radcliffe halfway through Harry Potter, or replacing Viggo Mortensen in the third The Lord of the Rings.

Amazing. How could Henry not be valued with his attitude and knowledge. Such talent. Great to see this discussion from them both.

What a passionate actor.. He did what he could to keep his word to us.. Thank you..

Absolutely fantastic! I love hearing them talk about this fight scene and also seeing a bit of the training that went into it. Henry and Wolfgang are both incredible and collaborate so well. I'm looking forward to the big fight scenes in the next episode, though I'm already sad that this will be the last time we'll see their combined work on The Witcher (hopefully they'll work together on other projects in the future!). And Thank You to Henry Cavill for being our Geralt - no one will ever be able to replace him in this show!

Cavill comes across as a good sort. I like how passionate he is about sci-fi and fantasy projects. It's a lot easier to take him seriously in these kind of roles when he knows so much about the lore.

Netflix doesn’t deserve Henry

Loved the use of Geralt's signs in the fight. In any situation where you've got one person fighting many, there's always that question "why don't they all rush in at once", and the answer is because any human fighter would be massacred and that doesn't look good. Using the signs as a way of temporarily stunning larger groups attacking all at once so Geralt can then cut them down while they're on the back foot is brilliant.

There was so much absolute beauty in this scene because it’s rooted in reality. Yes, it’s a fantasy fight. Yes, as Henry pointed out it’s choreographed in a way that people can have breaks when in reality if you have an opening in a melee, you take it. But it was done SO well that you get lost in it and for anyone that’s done anything like this, I found myself actually enjoying this fight and not “critiquing” it until after I saw it the first time. Even then it was just 🤌.

Henry and Wolfgang need to work together again in Warhammer!!!

I will never get enough of Henry being geralt. His expression his voice everything. Petition to make Henry showrun his own adaptation

Thank you, Henry Cavill and Wolfgang Stegemann for your explanation of the one-shot scene. Always love to see the BHTS with Henry and company on any project.

Aside from Henry's enthusiasm and compassion, I also love how passionate wolfgang is about the fight scenes, so much thought is put into them

Henry + Wolfgang = Dream Team! Wolfgang clearly brought a new level of action design to this season. They both clearly respect and inspire each other and that is where the real brilliance is!

This is incredibly interesting to watch and just confirms why Henry Cavill will be the only Witcher- he is so knowledgeable and so passionate about it. Thank you Henry for these 3 wonderful seasons. Thank you Wolfgang for creating incredible moments like this for us

Wow. The sheer technical ability and timing of everyone involved in that peice is truely amazing and so talented. Absolutely loved this when I first seen it. Why did does Henry have to be leaving. Absolutely gutted.

Fire the damned show runners already. You can still salvage this remarkable piece of art. STOP HIRING WRITERS WHO HATE THE SOURCE MATERIAL AND THINK THEY KNOW BETTER.

I remember watching the first episode of the season and being especially stunned by this scene. So well done, so beautiful and dynamic. Props to everyone involved, Henry, Wolfgang, all the stunt artists, the camera crew, everyone. It's really too bad that the writing and showrunning choices don't live up to this level of commitment. I feel back on Game of Thrones s8 where everything was gorgeous and stunning, the actors threw their best at the screen (at least, still the majority of them), and the writers/showrunners just pooped at the face of everyone involved (and yet somehow got all the awards lol 🙄 corruption does wonder!). Anyway, wonderful scene. Liam Hemsworth has gigantic shoes to fill, not only because it's Henry Cavill level of stardom, but because of his sheer enthousiasm and passion he puts in what he does. Any solid show could somehow survive losing Henry, but the fact that he's clearly above in terms of dedication to the source material and to push the show further and further, will really hurt the show. I do think Anya Chalotra stepped up as the emotional tether this season with Yennefer, but will it be enough when one of Yennefer's biggest relationships will be completely changed? I hope Wolfgang Stegemann will at least stick around for further seasons. However I'm pretty pessimistic about that, since it's literally Henry who convinced him to come back...

Thank you for your passion, Wolfgang & Henry! This fight scene was breathtakingly brilliant. LOVED the use of Quen. Couldn't stomach anything about else from the episode, the characters, storytelling, art direction... but this was pure fire.

What a great scene and a great actor! Cavill is a great nerd and should what a star should be.. love the craft, material and respects it. not everyone is a down to earth guy but he is.

I like these behind the scenes. It is really interesting to see how these are done. The part about the cameramans work was something I had never thought about. So that was great to know. It is not surprising but great to know how much time goes into preparing for these scens. Great job guys with the explanation. This was very enjoyable.🌹🌹🌹

Henry: we also have a igni here, I really want it to... euh.. WE really wanted to 🤓 Love his passion for the Witcher.

Very nice choreographed fight scene. The camera operator deserves an award.. i'm starting to miss Geralt already from the next season onwards.

that scene was probably one of my all time faviorate fight scenes ever. I on purpose LOOKED for flaws and everything about it was so incredibly well done. I have studied sword fighting and i often have to Seriously suspend my disbelief in order to enjoy scenes like this. but the only suspension i needed to do was explain in the story. the speed and strength of geralt the use of ard and the heleoscope (i thought it was quen at first i havent read the books yet) being used to stagger and block what world normally be unblockable and overwhelming. given all of geralts buffs that is likely close to how it would look. realistically everyone would be covered in alot more blood too but yknow. genuinely INCREDIBLE work.

That Cavill guy’s enthusiasm to make a quality product that fans will like sure is hard to miss. I hope no one tries to use that positivity against him one day.

Loved this and seeing the depth of knowledge Henry Cavil on the material and his passion for delivering great action. Kudos to the entire team, brilliant

It's truly remarkable how you can have this actor and turn his character into a support for what's supposed to be his story. Sublime work by Henry and everyone of course Wolfgang, but I will not be a viewer beyond season 3.

The fight scenes have always been amazing on the show. Blaviken and now this....very very good. Really enjoyed watching it, its obvious how much work goes into it. Kudos to Henry and Wolfgang 👏❤

Absolutely love the amount of shoutouts to the camera op. That dude went hard. Side note: I’m excited for any fight scenes in Warhammer now. It’s obvious that he’s going to hire this guy, his team, and the camera op.

Dear Netflix, fall to your knees, give this man anything and make a great show for 4 more seasons and make all the money. Or keep doing what you are doing and the show does in three episodes.

there is a great connection between these 2 men, love to watch that. Wolfgang seem like a really great guy too

There will never be another Witcher without Henry!

The Geralt and Superman we deserve but assholes decided otherwise. Hopefully Henry is our next 007.

They showed an "Igni" without actually showing the Igni

Henry (+ Stegemann & crew) are great. A good Geralt fight scene is the one thing I actually looked forward to in season 3. Too bad about the plot/ script... Maybe I'll catch some more Geralt scenes, but I'm not really interested in this show as a whole anymore.

Geralt's action scenes are once again great and convincing that he is one of the most powerful people in existence. They exude incredible confidence in everything he does, he's incredibly charismatic and charming when he needs to be. Also, he can be very funny when he needs to be. Season 3 of The Witcher is at its best - but only when Cavill is on screen, and especially in the scenes between him and Ciri (Freya Allen). Such scenes bring your emotional core to life and the biggest reason to invest in your story. 0:14

Honestly, so incredible. These guys are so passionate and talented. Absolutely fanstastic. I will miss Henry as Geralt. Havent decided if I will continue watching with Hemsworth. It's tough.

as soon as I saw this scene I knew I needed this video talking about it. what an amazing shot. love the fight scenes in the witcher and can't wait to see the last of them in vol 2.

Henry Cavill was the only reason I was watching. He carried the show and the fact that they ignore someone who is a fan of Witcher that they have on set makes me hope everyone ignores the next season.

"Not only can Netflix break down the writing process but it also can let us down by breaking down the entire show and leaving out the actors who were perfect for their roles. "

Wolfgang is one of the few people that don’t look tiny next to Henry. I loved that fight scene in Blaviken.

The reason I watched the first season of Witcher was that incredible one take fight scene in the first episode. The reason I got excited for this third season was again this fight. That's what we need! We want good story moments. But we need good fights too. Henry understood that and he gave us what we wanted. He WILL be missed. Good work Henry!

probably the only two that actually try to give their best in this show. Congrats Henry and Wolfgang!

Incredible behind the scenes on this fight, loved it.

My favorite fight scene in the entire series

Absolutely mindblowing. There's no one like HC

Him wearing Top Tank and working so hard & sweating is the most hostess thing ever🥵

Henry has such a charimstic presence and really commands the room... How do some people do that..

Thank you so much Henry Cavill The writers and showrunners should never be allowed to ruin a show again

I was realy moved how profesional and enagaged Henry was as Gertalt. Thank You Henry Cavill! F*** Y** NetfliKS!

Gentleman Henry❤

Imagine losing this guy over incompetent writers. Why is management in most companies made of utter failure?

Just look at his attitude. Passion for performance and recording to be purely perfect to embody the character.-CLEAR AND LOUD NO HENRY NO THE WICHER

Personally, I would like to see Cavill direct and adapt a movie from games. Pretty sure he is capable of doing so just from analyzing his interviews.

Lauren Hissrich: "Hey Liam, have you read the books?" Liam Hemsworth: "Nope." Lauren Hissrich: "Have you played the games?" Liam Hemsworth: "Nah." Lauren Hissrich: "Perfect, you're in."

Henry Cavill is a real man. And I appreciate that in a world where that is now being threatened.

Give us back Henry.

Henry will make an interesting director.

gj Wolfgang, fight scenes are the best thing out of whole show

I love that the "White Wolf" fight scenes are coordinated with a dude named Wolfgang. Like could it be more perfect? The fights in season 3 were soooo good. I am incredibly sad to see Henry Cavill move on, but I can understand it. I just will greatly miss seeing his dedication to the source material and the character, and the dynamics of him with the other amazing actors in this show. It is rare, so for now, I will be content with 3 amazing seasons.

And you let him go . WOW...!!

looks like Henry understands more and more about movie makeing

Damn, we’ll never know what laptop they’re using

It's just magnificent , beautiful team work

This was one of the scenes that saved this season.

The work you did for this secene was amazing and watching it on screen was something that drew me in and gave us fans satisfaction. Swords, signs, power, and intent = Geralt of Rivia!!

Every single episode of the show should have one of these scenes. I still think about the season 1 Blaviken stab fest so much. 👌🏻

This just highlights why Henry's departure is gonna hurt the show so much. He's in the writers room fighting it out he's leading the charge on stunt choreo taking so much care for it all but now we've got..... Liam

Wolfgang and the White Wolf

No Eason to continue watching Witcher without Cavill

Dude no monitor?!? That camera operator is a GOD

Henry is so amazing. 🤯

Man, Henry Cavill is without a doubt one of the sexiest men around.

Henry is so handsome, very detailed and breaks it all down for you ❤

Losing Henry is the biggest mistake for the directors.

I love knowing these behind-the-scenes "details." #HenryCavill, thank you for your commitment, and your hard work. #HenryCavill IS #TheWitcher, the one and only #GeraltOfRivia

Superb action scene. Well done!

Imagine if Netflix announce that they want back Cavill and allow him to be executive director. They would see the following Season get Emmy Award Nomination

Cavill was perfect for Witcher and Superman. Its crazy that both didnt get followed through to their conclusions with him as those characters. Producers really know how to ruin a good thing, and sometimes the writers too.

I'm really going to miss this guy on the Witcher
