Not an upgrade. And cavill didnt seem to want to be in the show much anymore. Accoring to directors he was "annoying" because he got annoyed at the massive dissregard for the source material. He mentioned this in a generic manner duning interviews. And he once said about the show: if you dont stay loyal to a massive fanbase that praised the original content for decades, they will crucify you.

I think that's the point. I think the "new" can was an infamous failed launch by Coke in the 80's.

He made the right decision to leave. He's loyal to the work people put into a story. And he knows what makes the Witcher special in gaming. He doesn't have to be the one getting crucified. I'm sure he can find another series to star in.

Stargate perhaps? Calling u/josephmallozzi

Eh, I think they're still kinda pitching and don't yet have a network or streaming service settled yet. But they're pretty far in on the scripts and concepts.
