was one of the bombings that we lived at the end of last year and it will still be difficult for us to assimilate it when it finally becomes a reality. We talk about the substitution of Henry Cavill in The Witcheran announcement that took us all by surprise and generated a lot of controversy, especially for the choice of Liam Hemsworth as his substitute. Now, however, you could look at the actor with different eyes thanks to the videos we have of the Australian characterized as The Wizard. Yes, what you are reading. And all thanks to the AI.

Goodbye Cavill. Hi Hemsworth

When The Witcher was announced, there were many who raised their eyebrows when they learned that henry cavill would be in charge of giving life to its protagonist. However, over time the actor showed that the role did not suit him at all: he offered a good characterization and looked good on screen with his white hair and his voice from beyond the grave, which together with his well-known admiration for the saga (and his freakishness) He made us all love him.

That is why the announcement of his farewell felt so bad and even worse was knowing that Liam Hemsworth (the brother of the one who plays Thor in the UCM) would be in charge of replacing him. Possibly Hemsworth is not to blame and no actor would have convinced the fandom, but the truth is that the level of hate towards the Australian is quite high and there are many who have already threatened to stop watching the series if Netflix did not back down on its decision.

The channel in which these videos are hosted is dedicated precisely to this: making conceptual assemblies with technology Deepfake, offering us a different vision of endless scenes. Its creator has also dared to put Ben Affleck, Karl Urban or Mads Mikkelsen In the role of The Witcher -Liam suits us more, really- or to replace the magnificent Bella Ramsey with Elliot Page as Ellie in HBO’s The Last of Us -we leave you the latter below.
