With The Witcher’s third season being Henry Cavill’s last foray as Geralt of Rivia, he has plenty of roles to choose from to keep himself busy.

With Netflix’s The Witcher season 3 marking Henry Cavill’s last appearance as Geralt of Rivia, the door is now wide open for him to take on other enticing roles, including two highly-anticipated upcoming action projects.

The Witcher follows a war-weary monster hunter named Geralt who struggles to find his place in the world while combating dangerous beasts and treacherous humans.

Cavill’s performance received high praise as he excelled in portraying the beloved character’s internal conflicts while also convincingly handling the show’s intense action scenes.

However, after Henry Cavill’s The Witcher exit, he now has his sights set on equally interesting film and television roles as he enters the next juncture in his career.

Cavill’s breakout role was as Superman in Zack Snyder’s 2013 superhero movie Man of Steel, and he swiftly followed it with starring roles in The Man from U.N.C.L.E., Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and Mission: Impossible – Fallout, thus establishing himself as one of Hollywood’s most bankable action stars.

While Cavill’s run as Geralt of Rivia is officially over, his disappointing exit could be a blessing in disguise, as his upcoming projects look to be among some of the best works in his career. Whether the new projects are for the small screen or the big screen, Cavill’s upcoming work might validate his decision to leave The Witcher.

Henry Cavill’s Roles In Warhammer 40,000 & Highlander Reboot Could Be Huge

Cavill is slated to play Connor MacLeod in the Highlander reboot

Henry Cavill’s upcoming franchises, Warhammer 40,000 and his Highlander reboot, are both expected to be massive hits. They’re both based on well-received source material, and the level of talent involved behind-the-scenes already confirms that great lengths are being taken to ensure the highest quality possible.

John Wick director Chad Stahelski is set to direct the Highlander reboot, and given the level of success he’s enjoyed with the Keanu Reeves-led franchise, high expectations are already set for his take on the fanstasy action adventure movie. Furthermore, the swordsmanship that Cavill displays throughout his tenure on The Witcher assuages any concerns about convincing action scenes.

Warhammer 40,000 is a miniature wargame produced by Games Workshop that centers around futuristic space marines combating invading alien forces, and Cavill’s Warhammer 40,000 project in development at Amazon marks another anticipated video game TV adaptation.

With Cavill’s role as an executive producer on Warhammer 40,000 as well as his acute familiarity with the source material, Warhammer 40,000 has the potential to become its own massive franchise.

Considering the genre potential for a Warhammer 40,000 project, Cavill’s dedication to the upcoming series, and room for bigger movie deals, Cavill leaving The Witcher has already proven to be a great career move.

Warhammer & Highlander Aren’t Henry Cavill’s Only Upcoming Projects

Cavill will also star in Matthew Vaughn’s Argylle and Guy Ritchie’s The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare

Matthew Vaughn’s upcoming spy action comedy Argylle centers around an introverted spy novelist as she gets embroiled in an underground spy conspiracy.

With Argylle’s possible connections to Kingsman, things look promising for the upcoming spy comedy already, and Cavill’s lead role offers an opportunity to see the actor flex his comedic muscles.

Additionally, Cavill will continue his work in the spy genre with a main role in Guy Richie’s upcoming action spy film The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare. While these roles effectively rule Cavill out of the Bond 26 running, they still mark a new and exciting direction for Henry Cavill’s career after exiting The Witcher.
