The latest reports claim that Henry Cavill was fired from ‘The Witcher’ and he didn’t leave because of creative differences as earlier mentioned. There are rumors that the actor was toxic on the set and was also given ultimatums regarding his ‘toxic gamer-bro attitude’ with the crew and especially making it difficult to work with him. As per the reports from Comic Book Movie, Cavill was repeatedly cautioned about his “toxic, gamer-bro” like behavior by Netflix before pulling the trigger. There were never any complaints about any sexual misconduct but Cavill was toxic and disrespectful with his words.
Deuxmoi further claims that “Eventually top brass at Netflix was tired of Henry Cavill costing them money with delays [and] HR investigations. The showrunner was asked to construct a potential exit for him. Netflix reached out to him personally, and he was given one final warning, and violated that warning with an email he sent to the entire writing staff, right after that meeting. That was it.”
