MOVIE NEWS – We asked ChatGPT what to expect from Liam Hemsworth as Geralt of Rivia in the fourth season of The Witcher. It gave an intriguing answer…

We put ChatGPT AI on the spot about what we can anticipate from Liam Hemsworth’s performance as Geralt of Rivia. The perspective of ChatGPT is particularly fascinating because, since it was disconnected from the internet, its knowledge stops in 2021, meaning it’s “unaware” that Henry Cavill left the series or about any negative reactions from the fans. It based its thoughts purely on Liam Hemsworth’s prior acting performances. Here’s what it said:

“Given that my knowledge only goes up to 2021, but based on what you’ve told me, Liam Hemsworth will be stepping into the role of Geralt of Rivia in the fourth season of The Witcher. Consequently, my analysis is based on these presumptions.*

Firstly, over the course of his acting career, Liam Hemsworth has embodied a variety of characters, but he is perhaps most known for his role as Gale Hawthorne in ‘The Hunger Games’ trilogy. In this role, we’ve seen him portray a character who is tough, determined, yet also emotionally complex, which fits nicely into the mould of Geralt’s character.*

Geralt of Rivia was portrayed by Henry Cavill in the first three seasons of the Netflix series, while in the Polish series, Michał Żebrowski played the role of Geralt. Both brought a strong, serious demeanor to the character, with Cavill especially focusing on the internal conflicts and emotional depth within Geralt. Żebrowski’s portrayal was also commendable, highlighting the character’s mysterious and reserved side.

Liam Hemsworth’s acting style could potentially provide a new direction for the series. Hemsworth could bring a certain raw honesty and physical strength to the role, which could add a new dimension to the character. While Cavill often highlighted the character’s internal struggles and emotional depths, Hemsworth might put more emphasis on the external fights and physical battles.

However, this doesn’t mean that Hemsworth wouldn’t be capable of showcasing Geralt’s inner conflicts. In his movie ‘Paranoia’, he proved that he can accurately depict complex emotions and inner struggles. Geralt, however, is a very complex character who is tough, sensitive, mysterious, and sometimes unapproachable at the same time, so the role will likely present a serious challenge to Hemsworth.

Finally, it’s important to note that Hemsworth’s physical appearance is also a good fit for the character. Geralt of Rivia is a large, warrior-like figure, and Hemsworth is known for his convincing physical form, as demonstrated in ‘The Hunger Games’ series and other films, such as ‘The Expendables’. Therefore, his physical appearance could aid him in the authentic portrayal of the role.*

In conclusion, I believe that Liam Hemsworth could bring new and exciting elements to the fourth season of The Witcher. We’re likely in for some surprises as Hemsworth interprets Geralt’s character in his own way. I am looking forward to seeing the direction the character and the series take with this new lead actor.”

The fourth season of The Witcher, based on the information available so far, is perhaps expected sometime in 2025, as it has been delayed due to a writers and actors’ strike, and following the rather weak third season, fans are particularly skeptical about what the new actor can bring to the table…
