Witcher TV Show Deepfake Puts Liam Hemsworth’s Face On Henry Cavill

A VFX artist has created a fake trailer for Netflix’s The Witcher season 4, which replaces Henry Cavill’s Geralt of Rivia with his soon-to-be replacement, Liam Hemsworth.

The deepfake video was created by Matthew Anthony–via Eurogamer–and gives fans of the series a look at what Hemsworth could look like as the Butcher of Blavikin instead of Cavill, who has played the character for two seasons and a third yet to arrive. The two-minute deepfake depicts the actor’s face digitally imposed over Cavill’s in a variety of scenes taken from the Netflix series. For example, moments where he’s simply talking and interacting with characters such as Jaskier and Ciri.

However, scenes with complicated fight scenes performed by Cavill are not featured in the deepfake, so fans won’t know what Hemsworth could look like wielding a sword until season 4 eventually drops. The VFX artist has developed a collection of videos using deepfake technology, and even created a concept where Ben Affleck would play Geralt as well.
