Netflixin The Witcher -sarjan pääosassa nähtiin kolmen ensimmäisen kauden ajan Henry Cavill, joka ei kuitenkaan enää jatka neljännellä kaudella. Syitä lähtemiselle on arvuuteltu paljon. Kaksi jaksoa ohjannut Marc Jobst on sitä mieltä, että rooli alkoi olla fyysisesti liian vaativa. Cavill ei halunnut käyttää sijaisia, vaan teki kaiken itse.
"Well, look, Henry has done three series, these are demanding shows to make, you know, they are huge. Henry does every single beat of his stunts, he won't even allow a hand, if you're doing a close-up of a hand grabbing a sword, it has to be his hand. So, normally, what you do is you bring in a double. Henry won't do that, and as a result of that, the results are extraordinary. You're working with an incredible athlete, first and foremost, who works out hours before, and hours after, you've been shooting for 12 hours, and who cares deeply about the work that he does."
