The Witcher wasn't successful after season 1 because "The Witcher" was no longer the main character. Get Woke, Go broke.
They strayed from the greatest source material.
All they had to do was stick to the short stories.

Almost like there’s a lesson here for other fantasy shows…
Huh.
Huh.

Not that it really matters, but there’s some speculation that Cavill is not straight.
No, it doesn't, but you have to be vocally out to get the points.
And to be fair, there are few "perceived' straight, masculine men in that biz who don't have the closet gay rumors chasing them.

The Man From Uncle is great movie.
Proves he could be Bond.

He's an A list actor by any metric. Megastar though? Like Tom Cruise or Brad Pitt? I don't think those exist anymore in purely the Hollywood sense.

All I’m saying is, I don’t think that has anything to do with why cavill is not a star.

Hollywood isn't putting out very much in the way of great stories any longer. Much of what we get is some form of weak writing with a too-narrow focus toward appealing to certain groups. When that's framed with an attempt to push/lecture a social narrative, by definition you've limited your potential audience.

That’s alone should have made him an action star. He’s fricking great in that movie and they should have brought him back to frick shite up in the newest one.
Agree. Huge mistake to kill his character at the end of Fallout.

Witcher had nothing to do with him and all to do with writers making the show more about the ensemble cast and less about THE WITCHER.

Would be the perfect Bond. Reboot with an origin story/traditional Bond caper set in '62. Sydney Sweeney's tits need to be in it as well.

The cringiest shite I’ve seen on the internet in the last few years is men saying “I’m a straight man BUT I would let Henry Cavill rail me!!!”

He’s about as big of an actor / star that you can be these days, not sure what level you expect him to be at.

Exactly.
They can avoid all the woke/DEI bullshite by making them period pieces and there are enough gaps in the early movies for other missions.

Weirdly missing on my feed. We must visit different parts of the internet.

He's got the Warhammer series coming up, a future Highlander role, and rumors about Captain Britain.

Captain Britain? Serious or Austin Powers-esque?

He's not?
I just presumed he was picky about what he appears in.

quote:yep.
Pretty much great in everything he does.
quote:really good.
Good actor
quote:I aint gay but damn he is a good looking man.
Ruggedly handsome
quote:no make him more normal than the other hollywood elites.
Is it because he is a gamer nerd and gravitates towards those roles?
quote:he is.
He should be huge.
quote:MOS is really good it gets a lot of hate but i think its great.
I am watching the mediocre Man of Steel and he is so great in it.
quote:well thats cause Gunn wants to be the main focus, but Cavil.
Big mistake recasting him.
