Former Netflix&#039;s &#039;The Witcher&#039; and &#039;One Piece&#039; director, Marc Jobst, shares his views on working with Henry Cavill and his exit.

“…he won’t even allow a hand,” &#8211; Former Netflix’s ‘The Witcher’ Director Opens Up on Working With Henry Cavill

Netflix’s The Witcher [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/the-witcher/] is aggrieved
and wounded at the moment. As Season 3 of the show drew to a close, it forever
changed the outlook of the hit fantasy series. Once beloved and the crown jewel
of Netflix, the show is now in tumultuous waters. Ever since the news broke of
lead Henry Cavill [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/henry-cavill/] exiting The
Witcher after its third season, it has all been downhill for the show. While a
few from the show’s current production team blamed Cavill for high-handedness
leading to his exit, its Season 1 director tells a different story altogether.

Marc Jobst, who formerly has directed The Witcher, Daredevil, Punisher, and now,
One Piece, for Netflix shares his experience of working with Henry Cavill.


THE 40-YEAR-OLD ACTOR PERFORMED DEMANDING STUNTS ALL BY HIMSELF

Director Marc Jobst, who shot the seventh and eighth episodes of season one of
The Witcher, has nothing but praises and accolades for Henry Cavill. The
director highlighted the sheer level of commitment, dedication, and energy the
40-year-old actor had while shooting intense action scenes. In an interview with
Screenrant, Jobst highlighted that many of the stunt work on the show were very
“demanding” in nature. However, Cavill insisted on performing all the stunts by
himself, no matter how draining it was. “Henry does every single beat of his
stunts, he won’t even allow a hand,” added Jobst.



Speaking on the demeanor and respect towards work that Cavill had, Jobst again
lauded the actor and admitted that he was the best on set. Rather, Cavill was so
passionate about his acting that it would often motivate others on the set to do
more and better. Furthermore, the director added that the actor had “that desire
to get it right.” It goes on to highlight that the commitment shown by Cavill
was unparalleled and always in the show’s interest. It also stands to reason as
to why Cavill would go overboard and ask the showrunner for script changes.

Nevertheless, Cavill’s exit was a huge shock for The Witcher fandom, Jobst has
other thoughts.


FORMER DIRECTOR WEIGHTS IN PRAISE AND SUPPORT FOR HENRY CAVILL AFTER EXIT FROM
THE WITCHER

Contrary to what the show’s executives have highlighted and defended with their
take on Henry Cavill exiting

Witcher, Marc Jobst feels that Cavill made the right decision. The director
stood behind the actor and affirmed his trust in him. “If he feels like he’s
done what he can, I trust him,” said Jobst. Notably, there have been various
speculations about what made Cavill exit the show.

However, the primary suspect is James Gunn’s DC reboot. At one end Dwayne
Johnson brought back Cavill as Superman in a post-credits scene of Black Adam,
nearly confirming his return. At the other end, the movie’s failure and James
Gunn’s subsequent takeover and reboot of DC were another story. Gunn finally
snubbed Cavill out of the DC Universe

Nonetheless, all hope is not last as Cavill may still make his way back into DC
thanks to the multiverse concept.
