There may be a new actor, Liam Hemsworth, playing Geralt of Rivia in The Witcher Season 4, but as far as the series is concerned, he’s still the same character formerly played by Henry Cavill. Regardless, a line uttered by Hemsworth in The Witcher Season 4 trailer caused some backlash from fans who claimed that Geralt would have never said it. Now, showrunner Lauren S. Hissrich has come out and vigorously defended the line.
The line in question came at moment when Geralt drew his sword and said, “Let’s f***ing move.” At least a few Reddit users vehemently objected to it.
Hissrich expressed surprise that the line was controversial at all during an interview with Radio Times. She went on to explain why she feels it works for him.
